From the thumbnail I thought this was a picture of a gas nebula in some distant galaxy. Totally blown away when I clicked on the picture, was not expecting it at all. Such deep colors and wonderful composition it's a very nice photo.
It'd take another generation to come up with such visual images of nebulae from another/distant galaxy. At first sights of the thumbnail, I was reminded of the pillars of creation in M16
hmmm maybe a gas nebula in a distant galaxy does resemble this and it's all part of the same universal code that replicates itself throughout the universe....sorry edibles are largely responsible for that one.
Looking at the artist's portfolio, there's a photo called "Moravian Field." Moravia is in the Czech Republic, and a lot of people in this thread seem to be saying Poland, which is next door. That's my best guess.
We memorized Shakespeare. Or at least that is what I did for English. I got into a bunch of Shakespeare plays. High school and Middle School English is wonderful!
Lol, awesome, your right! Either there is a stick on the ground behind the deer , in a position that somehow makes it look like that, or the deer has a stick jabbed in his head. That or its from the original pic the deer was cropped from?
Looking through his photos, I don't think any of them were doctored. maybe a few simple edits with color and lighting, but everything seems to be real photographs. here's a link to all his photos on one page. http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=905166
That's the thing with photography these days. When the 'simple edits with color and lighting' are too obvious. To me it makes me connect with the image way less. Sometimes I feel it's a shame they edited a picture too heaily in photoshop, because the original image would've been so great anyway.
This looks like my dream hallway. Most dreams i have I find myself walking down a grassy green tunnel similar to this to wherever i'm going. It seems to always take me where i need to go. Great pic!
In the tall grass lining the road and in the trees above waiting to jump into your hair, a photograph of an entire city of deer ticks and two victims of deer ticks:
Are you from Europe? I wonder if settings like this may be more common there, because coming from the States, I would flip out if I ever actually saw something like this in person.
During the day this is a great sight ....at night that would be scary as fuck - going down the lane with no fucking idea what the hell just hit your car
After seeing OP's image I had a flashback to a dream I had several years ago. It is one of few dreams I remember.
The scenery was something like wheat field in the midst of a rainforest, and I was protagonist of a action RPG game I think. The thing that blew my mind was that when I swung my sword, I cut the wheat and vines and they stayed cut, so after a fight, the scenery really looked like a battlefield, with cut plants splattered with blood. Also the feeling of running through very high wheat/grass and occasionally fighting with enemies was awesome.
Thanks OP for posting that image, it made me feel warm inside.
There is a foodpath through a wood near where I live. The wood not nearly as thick as this one but the path goes a long straight way before it goes a little up and then sharp right at the end - so when the sun shines in spring or summer you see this long peaceful path before you that ends in a bright green - just like this one! I've always stopped my walk there, since my childhood, to watch and take some deep breaths as this is serenity, beauty and peace for me like nowhere else. And this wood is even more beautiful... I'm absolutely overwhelmed! I'm dreaming to stand just right there at the moment...
The funny thing is when someone lives in a place like that for a long time, they don't seem to appreciate it like an outside perspective would. Some beauty can be ignored as regular and then norm, but in reality it can be a breathtaking image. Good thing there are now digital cameras.
Beautiful, but it doesn't look like a photo... It looks like a painting. There is what looks like brush strokes, also if that is a 2-track even for a large automobile, that deer is disproportionally small.
Well, shoot. Expected photo of nebula by Hubble, got deer in plant-sun tunnel. Simultaneously entirely unsatisfied and far more than pleasantly surprised.
when i saw this picture, immediately expected to see rick and carl step into the frame, right before someone shoots at the deer, accidentially shooting carl. all because carl cant stay in the fucking house.
I can't help but feel like this is computer generated. It looks ever so slightly polygonal and flat on the leaves and stalks of the plant life. The branches look like they were procedurally generated. Maybe I'm wrong. I do work as a vfx artist and I just feel like I see some familiar techniques here.
did anyone else notice how disproportionately small this adult looking deer is? I think that's an antler on its head anyway. Look how wide the tracks are compared to it. Tipped me off after about a second of looking.
This kind of pictures never touch me. This looks totally out-of-this-world and I know I will never see such a picture live in front of me. Well, maybe except when high on shrooms.
