I like it, just can't get my head around the two horizons, but then it's not of this world

Very nice, very interesting and very nice idea!! I think you have achieved what you wanted to do!? The horizons don't bother me that much, but IMO I would have taken out the horizontal line in the top part of the picture!? Otherwise, very creative and a lot of impact!! VVWD!!

Very creative and very nice charissa, generally I like. Personal taste talking now, but the sky may be a bit too heavy for the ground scene with the large objects and activity taking place there. Well done though, great piece of work!

This is very powerful Charissa, wow! Definately something from a sci-fi movie. Lots of time well spent to create an abstract masterpiece. love the colours in this!
Ok, from an artist's POV: The two distinct lines can easily be dealt with by erasing or cloning. That little 'mountain' the bottom left is a tad too "edgey" for the rest of the image (in reference to the other hills), though quite well blended below. If it was softened around the top just a pinch it may blend a little better with the image, also it has a different lighting (darker than the rest) but works well to add mood, so don't adjust it. I love the brushes you created here for this one, adds great electricity and energy. The moon/planet top right has a little too much detail creating an impression it is closer that it's percieved, meaning it is closer to the fg than bg (5-10% blur can fix that ). There's more than two horizons (I think, can't make out), which works so well here. Over all, WELL DONE!! Shooo! I think I have to come see you for some lessons...
Been staring now for about 30 min trying to make out if I recognise the spot but Mpumalanga is so vast it's hard to say. Looks like a mountain pass I could have drive along...

Thanks for all the positive comments, i really appreciate it. Johan, lines noted,was planned that way, but i will redo some of it, just for fun. Colin, i think i did the little mountain at 24hoo last night u are right, will soften it just a bit. The planet on the right, i wanted just like that.
Photo was taken on the Baberton, Swaziland route, on the way to a abandoned little town in the mountains, still maintained by 2 guys, but going to seed. Interesting story. Thanks.

Thanks Alan (i see some people adds the Oom to the equation, should i do this as well?). Yes Colin, quite a little town, with golf club, houses, swimming pool, playgrounds etc. Have to see it to believe it, no windows broken, all very old doors and wooden windows etc, surrounded by mountains. Locals know about it, and go there to braai, and sometimes to play golf. Is a way with 4x4, but worth it.
