Jack, Thank you, I appreciate your opinion. Actually, I was expecting to hear something similar from somebody on this list.
So why did I do this version? I saw this as an opportunity to create from this photo something that is real and unreal at the same time. There was no particular message in mind, at least my mind still has not verbally defined it. While thinking about this response of mine, I realized that my idea might be subcontiously related to the art of Nicholas Roerich. E.g. see these paintings: http://www.roerich.org/servlets/ContentServlet?id=700168 http://www.roerich.org/servlets/ContentServlet?id=700125 (If you are interested, see more paintings here: http://www.roerich.ru/main.php?l=eng ) However, it was not an attempt to copy his style. It was only after your response that I recalled Roerich's paintings. Rather, while working on the photo, I was going after something in my head, but it is possible that my head was influenced by that style many years ago.
