Then Something happened......*

This one is similar to the Daisygranate it spontaneously popped up on my screen. That "space craft" is in fact a steel bridge that was mangled in PS then dumped in a field in a surreal place and time.

Still pretty amazing! I was referring to the "space ship" as seeming flat, the landscape seemed fine to me the way it was. But this over-saturated landscape is fun too! ~Sharon

Don't worry Michael...different minds can look at things differently...this is still just Wonderful. Best Wishes, Traveller

Thanks for your comments Traveller. well as you say there a million ways to present an image and it won't suit all at all times. This one has more "umph" to it and usually my personal prference is for punchier images, although some may say they are oversaturated. too much contrast etc, etc. But this is what makes photography fun and sharing with people on Pbase even more fun. PS have a look at my galleries and see what you think of those.

Gads, Michael, this is what can happen...sigh. I didn't think the first version was flat...in its lighter variation, I think, to me at least, it looked realer, like something just crashed. Where there are a possible thousand different variations this gets very difficult...but I liked the first one a lot better. Best Wishes, Traveller

Sharon thank you for your comments. I've done a few adjustments to "pep" it up a bit I agree it was a bit flat. Hope you like it better now.

I like this a lot, Michael! It reminds me of some of Terry Gilliam's work for Monty Python. I might like the strange thing better if it had a bit more contrast, more depth, it seems a bit too "flat" now. Good work!
