Description
February 2008 update:
Over the last couple of days I facelifted this image, as a part of my preparations for the upcoming EXPOSE 6, in which I try to appear with at least one of my works. Keep your fingers crossed . What was revised/changed:
-the palm trees were replaced by some glorious conifers (spruces). I thought conifers would give the image more verticality
-I tweaked the light rays a little bit
-I added falling maple leaves (from some trees above the cave entrance), to give the image even a more pronounced fantasy feel- this took an entire day, I'm glad it's over
...and that's all
Finally finished this after 2 and 1/2 months. I won't say but one thing: it's the biggest and meanest project I have ever worked on. It's enough said it practically kneeled my PC. Overall, I'm a little unsatisfied with the result, but that's how life is. Anyway, enjoy it as it is.

Yikes! After 250+ hours I'd be 'a little unsatisfied' with the Mona Lisa...but since it's 'not too bad' I'd probably keep it - LOL!
