thanks guys, i'm glad you like it. the current challenge really got my 2 brain cells working overtime. :) and as hallowen is coming up, got it as my theme and the other one on nightmares (incubo in italian). the bigger image represent the dream, i choose a tree silhouette with its near leafless branches, as if reaching out for the next dreamer (everybody had bad dreams, once in their lifetime). the second image represent the dreamer, with three faces (a slow shutter and a led torchligth) left while he's sleeping, the right one while he's dreaming (mouth open) and the middle, awaken. for the purist, it looks a bit overly processed (as tv said), i did pumped up the colors to bring out the clouds formation (gives texture), add contrast, vignetting and some photoshop brushes (gives shadows) i'll post the originals on pending. i hope my idea came across and i have to learn english more. :)
thanks again and happy hallowen to everybody
ciao!

I think there's more manipulation here than would normally be tolerated, but I as a fan of spooky stuff and heavy metal music, I love the image. It could be an album cover for the band, Nightwish. -tv
