That's not fair! Too many interesting varioations on an already excellent image. As for the "base" image, wish you had a tad more on the right. As far as the variations (on a comparative basis only; all are exccellent)
1. Pleasant
2. A Winner. Love the dynamic added. I wish that long diagonal bolt stopped somewhere mid structure.
3. I dont like the blur. Dont think it adds.
4. Initially I really liked this one. But as I look more, feels like a concrete wall behind the strucutre. Maybe a bit of blur on the background?
5. How about this one without the blur? I like the gradient toning and debris.
6. My favorite. Grearter sense of depth, interesting background. With the metal globes off the sky, the somewhat surreal nature of the central structure, I now think of a planet far below. I lilke the toning as well. Maybe, just maybe a bit of blur in the background texture, especially in the top half?
Nice stuff Kaden.
Thanks for posting.
Scott

Happy New Year Kaden,

I'll be indecisive, as usual:

I like the colors of #5 as I have strong bias for blues but I'm not crazy about the blur and heavy gold tones at the base.

If I must choose 'as is', the last without a doubt - sharp, has depth, nice complimentary background, a nice 'science fiction' flavor about it - could be looking down at the surface of a strange world, or up into the heavens of another universe...or, perhaps it is a 'time machine'

regards,

Bob

I really like the second shot, however, being in the electric substation and transmission business for too many years....

the orbs on the side of the tower look unreal and distracting. That said, the clock seems conceivable!

. Seems like it belongs there.
Nice shot

When I saw number four, my head rang with, "It's alive. IT'S ALIVE!"

... slowly beginning to drag myself from my annual bout of Seasonal Afestive Disorder.

Thanks for all the comments folks.

Sbeme I agree with your evaluation and suggestions.

Bob Jarman I dig the colors on #5 as well and indeed the differential focus does not
work all that well.

Mudflap #2 is cool. The only applied trick there was the usage of a plugin for the
lightning. The clock and the artistic pylon is reall alright.

AuntiPode you managed to make me laugh. Yes, I too suffer of the holidays blues.

Scott Stoness that's a good call.
