no-one got anything else to say?

I'm just nog sure what it is? "Just" a photo, or some retouching involved? Or comp? With that litte info, it's hard to say anything about it.

I didnt say anything so i could get un-biassed impressions of it but oh well :-)

Its a comp made using models of elephants, photos of sky and using scanning to capture grass, no stock photos or anything like that.

So it is compleatly artificial.

Heya!,

My covert, stealthy, moniker for you is now forever "oh lover of syrup and butter". I love them but the damn things won't stay hot.

Anyways.
At first I started to judge the image on int's on merits with the assumption that it was truly what it appears to be.
A covey of elephants covorting across the grasslands and is truly a nicely composed image and it does grab my eye although I long for a bit more sweetlight. Before hitting the send button I read your last comment stating that it was actually a set with models and such and too me that makes the image all that much better. Your scaling was superb and an excellent execution of the job. But now I really wish you would have given us some sweetlight but overall a well tuned, nicely accomplished image. If I were you I would put it in my trunk for safekeeping. "Trunk" get it. I don't care what you or any of my friends say, that's funny damit.
Good to see all of you again.

Good work. To tell you the truth, the first time I saw this thread I had absolutely no idea that it's fake. It's very convincing.

Ta very much for the nice comments, I really like the way this image turned out.

Im now working on another one in the same vein!
