Stargate Goes Public


This one was my second attempt to create an image with the subject "Stargate". Still I'm not happy with it, but anyway, it looks better than my first attempt (I'll never post that one!!!), which was a totally mess.
The main image is from Frankenmuth, MI
Then the stargate thing I took a shot of one of my DVD collection, the bridge, the stairs and the background are from Romania.
If you don't like it, please don't throw with rocks at me, but tomatoes... at least I'll have a salad!
Have a wonderful day!

  7. I think it is good work. maybe some smoke or mist around the gate and walkway, or coming off the water. just an idea definitely not criticism.

  8. No criticism, only an opinion of preference. I would have done a portrait crop on this, eliminating most of the tree and part of the house. This is awesome work!

  10. It's not a bucket of chicken. Sci-fi writers would all like to be the one to unlock the secret of the stars before the scientists and politicians.

  18. Your humor in the narrative has me ROFLMAO. It's a wonderful collection, skillfully put together. I'm missing quite a bit of your work so I'm adding you to my fav artists. And thanks for taking the time to comment on my renders.

    you go Eddie!

  22. Nice blend, but the thing is kind of leaning to the left a little. Like your other stargate image better but this one is okay too. They can't all be winners as we all know from time to time we can't translate it into what we want.
    Love your work though. Looking forward to the next.

  24. I like "stargate".It,S good when we do not feel happy with what we are doing... is the way to achieve more and more... and the next "stargate" will be what you want.
    But neither stones or tomatoes... forget your salad... your work is very nice..and an interesting idea.gongrats. (By the way,yes: i'm a portuguese sculptress and a great enthusiast of 3D modeling software)

  31. Great idea !!!!

    Your name and childhood memories make me think you were / are Dutch..
    so I would like to say

    Origineel.. mooi plaatje.
    Goede combinatie van foto en 3d art...

    Ik zou er zoooo doorheen stappen op zoek naar avontuur

  32. Wonderful,i feel like jumping into the stargate and see what i find on the other side!!:-)

    ReplyDelete
  33. interesting light. Love the mountain in the background and the title is perfect :-)

    ReplyDelete
  34. I like that, the gate and stairs blend well with the capture... Maybe you could slightly decrease contrast and opacity on the golden stargate?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Some interesting photo manipulations and concept, just one suggestion, the background fountain photo has a blue hue in the shadow, maybe a blue colour correction on the steps, bridge and Stargate would make them integrate better...no biggie though !
    Well done & ~Cheers~

  39. Actually I never posted the very first Stargate work... the one from the clouds, 'cause I'm sure you're talking about that, it was the third one, created after I made this one...
