Inspired by... Surrealism

What a great use of the long exposure here! One of my favorite from this contest! I love the various digital manipulations seen in other pictures from this contest, but how great it is when you can produce something as solid straight out of the camera. Well done :)

This is high level photography / editing! Definitely one of the best from this contest. Such a great color palette with everything blending so perfectly together (color of the sky with her hair, her skin and the cork). Great work!

A shovel and a fork! Totally approved! I love this concept. I think you're slowly creating the characters of a surrealist movie where tools are engaged in a non-dialog suspense involving all sort complex inexplicable interactions ::)) Great work, congratulations :)

Ahh!! This is a great use of the fiber optic! I love it! I know it's not easy to have your subject stay still for a whole twenty seconds, especially when you get so close with your light-painting tool. Wonderful work!

Amazing composite! I can hear the music and I can understand the meaning of the lyrics :)

If I get it correctly, from the picture description, the girl and the background are part of the original picture, which looks unreal just by itself. I guess you took the picture at the right moment when the light was perfect! I totally enjoy this kind of work, it is beautiful ::))

So elegant and mysterious! I love it! I read your description and thought I would tell you what I saw at first. I didn't feel any depressing feeling, but instead, what I saw was a woman going against any current trends and simply expressing herself by being a living piece of art :)

This could go in so many directions I think. Well done :)

Mixing seasons and ages! I spent a lot of time watching this one in details. Such a great one! :)

I amazed by the fact that you found a way to capture the tree in two different seasons while being able to keep a seamless cloud background. It feels natural, yet, surreal! :)

Amazing mood on this one! It might hurt, but she's protected. The mix of colors works so well, and the burst of light is striking!

The sun burns through her heart and sparkles all around with heat and excitement :)

Well done :)

Mega concept! So many details too look at! A piece of art worth spending time on! This feels like a masterpiece with times stretching through seasons and vintage elements. Congratulations for the great work on the capture and post-processing, this is solid! :)

Super cool! I know how tricky it can get to align them to come up with a great composition.

I love how you found a way to come up with something that looks gigantic out of pieces you already had in your home. Well done! :)

Walking calmly towards the end of the world! This is fascinating. I see a man calmly walking towards the unknown and this feels just normal. Very nice concept and a unique one among this contest. Congratulations for the wonderful work :)

Ahh!! That is so cool! I'm totally aware that this is all made in camera and this is so well produced! I love this kind of light-painting. I know that many things happened during those 324 seconds of your creative process :)

Congratulations for the wonderful work!

This is the most awkward / fascinating from my selection for this contest. Everything goes against the rules of photography, and that's a winner for me :) It is scary, the composition is troubling, and yet, everything works well. Congratulations for the great picture :)

Ahhh cool! Very interesting concept :) I love these minimalist ones where small elements blends well together. One thing that makes this one works so well (and I'm sure you are aware of this), is the fact that you kept a brighter band of clouds behind the main subjects, making them stand out more. Good one! :)
