Title: The discovery
Name: David Smit
Country: Netherlands
Software: Photoshop

I created this image for an online contest at ca.org. Since I made it to the third (of the four) rounds my competition (5 other guys) was somewhat heavy.
so i decided to do one of the most though things to do (imho) a classic scene with a LOT of people. (Never done that before) and yeah it was really hard =).

I made a lot of mistakes making this image, so it became on big stumbling learning process. I came in second and was out of the race, but learned a lot doing it.
Next time!....sight.. =)

Amazing work overall!! Also reminds me of Craig Mullins style, and i guess that's a compliment isn't it? ;) I especially like the helmet on the lower right.

I like it! Love the colour mood! Very clear focus on the main object and also well planning on the dept of field, espesially the peoples at the background. ( i like the way you made it in impression stroke ) 5 stars from me!
