Thank you all for your comments. The background is a photo of a culvert stashed on my neighbor's property for some ongoing roadwork. The bison shots are ones I had in my archives from various trips to Yellowstone. And the wolf/coyote/cur shot is a recent picture of my dog Loki. The yellowish (reflected campfire?) appearance is from a channel mixer layer with only red and green, no blue. I used various filters or layer types to try to make the animals look more painterly--but they're still not quite what I originally had in mind. --Melanie
Great composition and very creative. I'm sure they would have used corrugated iron in the paleolithic days otherwise ... 'how else could they keep the rain out '?...
That is corrugated iron or plastic... isn't it? or filters?
Thank you for the comment. Hmmm. I wasn't trying to imply that it was paleolithic, simply that the inspiration came from those types of images. True paleolithic would require stone, not metal...hence the title. Apparently I need to come up with a better title.
Interesting take on the topic, but the style is far too modern to be characterized as Paleolithic. I like your use of light and shadows here, however.
