Beautiful tree and fabulous lighting, Michele... let's hope it's natural lighting. It certainly looks like dawn's early light! Maybe the dawning of a new age... maybe...

Beautiful colors/tree and light.Wonderful work.

Excel image Michele. Good idea but not enough. We are at the dawn of a new age. Fact.. think I'll make that the subject of my next render. Not humor but dead serious. The powers that be have the technology for free clean energy. They are sitting on it because if released suddenly, it could throw the world out of balance. Also, the money mongers are trying to position themselves so that they can control the slow release of the new technology and maximize their profits as they release interest in fossil fuels and ween us off oil dependency. The problem is the disclosure of the full truth will shatter the lives of lots of people, possibly resulting in chaos, riots.. it will be interesting to say the least. But the time has come.. hands are being forced. I'm ready for a new world. I feel sorry for... well.. you'll see.. Anyway, Bravo on a cool image Michele. Hugs and best wishes from Dave :^)

"WE" ?, "WE" didn't do much ! "WE" want to do all kinds of wonderful things it's the new trend. "WE" shout our mouths off about all the things that are wrong but you see "WE" have no power. "WE" do not control the purse strings and Joe average "WE" has no connections and/or access to the decision makers. The worst thing of all is that "WE" keep voting for and electing the same gang of pricks over and over and over and over again hoping for change. I think that "WE" are really stupid, and have become spoiled and weak. Keep dreaming "Santa Claus" will do it for us. Am I pessimistic, not on your life I am all realistic and don't have my head buried in the sand. I'm sick and tired of all the do gooder's of this world who accomplish nothing !

This is terrific and perfect Michele. This turned out great. Wonderfully written. Really farout image. Huggs... Silkylady...

Excellent image Michele with a very powerful message behind it, great work as always. Tony :-)

I agree with the comments before (and I'm not able to add something of use, due to my lame English). The picture is excellent, complete desolation.

But did we? Did we really believe we could influence the "powers that be"? Hope run high, perhaps if it's done over and over, it the pressure is kept up, we just may have some small impact. Beautifully done Michele, may our hope prevail.

Another powerful message Michele in this creation, superbly done!! hugs Jane xx
