Title: Into the Fire
Name: McLean Kendree
Country: United States
Software: Photoshop

This is a piece I did for my senior year of art school. I was shooting for something that compositionally would read well when reduced, in addition to a striking complimentary color palette. Overall I was pretty pleased with this image, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to keep pushing to make this stuff the best it can be.

I think if there's anything I'm uber-interested in, its any further insight into color that some of you might have, I still feel like my grasp of it isn't as intuitive as I'd like.

well done, the complimentary colors work very well, the only suggestion i have is darkening the human figures as their is a great amount of light in the explosion behind them.

hey hope you don't mind my suggestion, but i think if there were more debris flying around it would make this piece alot more dynamic.. now everything seems abit too calm as compared to what i think ur initial idea is trying to say
