Description

When I dug out my old files for overhauling "Contact" a few evenings ago, I discovered the scan of my hand from June 2001. Immediately I visualized a landscape, and last night set to work in realising this. The beach is at St Bees, Cumbria, while the hillside and rocks are at Edale, Derbyshire. Assembled in Photoshop 7 (with a little Painter 8) Thank you for your feedback and critique :-)

WOW:-) What else can I say? Brilliant idea with a brilliant treat. The hand is there part of earth - and it might really belong there.... reminding us how we grow from there. :-D

cool concept...The color gives me a feeling of emptiness or decline, and I love how you incorporated the hand into the land. well done.

Fantastic...especially like the way you seamlessly composited everything together. All parts have been combined into one very nicely.

Oh yeah - it's wonderful. You've got me believing it exists somewhere besides our synapses. Gorgeous, smooth - a little majestic

It's funny, I remember thinking that certain landscapes resemble parts of the human form yet I don't recall ever seeing any treatments quite like your original image here. Like the bleakness too.

Whoa, this is so very good and cool! There's something sad about it...and eerie, too. There's a feeling - partly from the color and partly from the "quietness" of it all - that whatever was here was long ago abandoned. There's a huge story being told here, but it's old, so very old, and very sad. Quite a lot of impact!
