Description

Alternate version of my previous image, Double jeopardy. I'm sorry to return here so soon, but these critters would not let us go (that is me, the helpless observer and the girl, the not-so-helpless wanderer...) New atmosphere created in Vue 8 Infinite, and some minor post work done in Photoshop CS3 to get more of an illustrated feel to the image. If you can spare the time, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me which version you prefer, and why. Many thanks, Craig

I like both versions, my preference is the first for realism but . . . for mood, this second version could be regarded as better!!

Hmmmm. I like them both for different reasons. I like the dusty desolation of the first one. Made me thirsty. The second one feels like it burns the lungs as well as the skin. Very cool work, Craig. Oh. I'm loading that second barrel now. ;)

This probably doesn't help but I like 'em both - for different reasons. The first iteration has a sense of being a 'real' place but the second seems more like an illustration - perhaps a book cover or movie poster. The strong colour cast makes it automatically unbelievable and unconvincing as a real location. Ultimately which version is 'best' may well depend on your final intentions for the image.

Beautiful lighting and colour. I think this one looks more dramatic and evocative than the other but they are both very good renders.

Great capture and composition. I really like the almost abstract effect you've achieved. Nice greetings for you.

Very nice scene. Excellent lighting, atmosphere and colour! I think the first image is more realistic for our planet, but this image is more appealing because of the colour. Who said this was earth anyway lol. Excellent work.

I'd go with this version- the rays through the thick reddened atmosphere add a lot here!

Of course the new one is much better becaused it gets it's title from a really cool Yes song rather than a portion of a gameshow. The new one does look somewhat Roger Deanie, (Deanesque?). It would be cool to see those ptooiedactyls attacking Alex Trebec... Listen, your friends have been broken, They tell us of your poison; now we know. Kill them, give them as they give us, Slay them, burn thier children's laughter On to hell. Now I'll return this comment section to Craig and all of the serious commenters.

Very striking colors and atmosphere. This lighting does work even better than the old one. Beautiful!

I like them both,but I think the colour and lighting in this one create a much more dynamic and otherworldly image set...very well rendered Craig,I really like the light rays in the top image!

This one in red is more in mood as opposed to the other which is more real world. I like both
