Ilustration for tutorial

I chose this image because of the color scheme and the fact that it uses a real model plus the additional design around the model. It is a part of a tutorial in Computer Arts magazine ( Dec. '08' ) where the illustrator ( I'm assuming Doug Alves ) is instructing readers on how to duplicate this style of art.

Award Winning Design: by the hand of God.

Artist: God in Heaven

I don't care what anybody says, this is award winning design.

I have recently been influenced to dig in to my picture collection. It is a collection of over 5000 photos taken during my trucking days. Mostly trucks and scenery.

Anyway, I have scanned several pictures of what I feel is outstanding scenery... depending on what your looking for.

This particular image is of a mountain in southern Colorado that I photographed over 20 years ago. If I am not mistaken, this is Blanca Peak and it reaches some 14,345 feet above sea level.

I had picked up a load of potatoes and was headed east. As I drove, I was able to witness that massive cloud move east and cover the mountain. I have more pic's showing the progression of the cloud. I am imagining that this mountain was at least 15-20 miles away from the road... The skies are really big out west.

I have not touched up this photo yet either. It is original. I even have the negatives... does anybody remember negatives ?

I have looked through approximately 4000 photos in the past week and I have another 1000 or more to go.
Sorry about the slight blur in the foreground... I was driving about 70+ mph when I took the photo.
The speed limit in Colorado is 75 now too, although 20+ years ago it was probably only 60 or 65 on that 2-lane road.

I will eventually post more of my scenery picture. But I do have to stick to the program too.

I choose this image because I thought it was a great example of photo-editing technology.
The person that did this must have quite an imagination. Notice how the imagery in the background is faded out... kind a like Sargent Blur!

The entire focus is on the single flower and the butterfly woman.

I also choose this image because I like butterflies... and women too :-)

They're both nice to look at.

I saw this image and thought to myself... hmmmm reminds me of something?

After reading the description I realized that yes, I have seen this before... just not purple.

I'ts an amazing piece of artwork though, very imaginative. I love the shapes and the color scheme.
