Description

Thanks for viewing and your wonderful feedback on the original image(click here). I have done some research and found out that you cannot take photos of places 600 years ago. The best we can do is to reproduce what we believe it looked like then from as much info we can dig up. Here is an artist's impression (with artistic licence) of a photo of Lyon, France in 1357. I have made this image a higher resolution so you can see some more detail like the cows (lower left). Original Image

So that's where the cows are. Nice. So, this is what a photo taken in the 1300's looks like. You would think that they would have found it easier to just paint it.:-) - bob

ROFL!! Love the old photo look of this one!! Excellent job as always and a perfect response to uncalled for rudeness... but then again I happen to be one of your faithful a**-kissers so my comments shouldn't matter as much as others from those who really know art critique. ;-)

LOL I wonder if this is a early kind of Daguerrotypia? Hugs to you for your wonderful way to response silly attacks with humour! Btw: the cows are fantastic! ggg

Must have been an accident - some aliens pushing the wrong button so that there is such an early photo left over. I love this one Scott. Has a wonderful touch of elderness (as we all have i guess). And yes, there are cows in the distance. BTW, "All along the watchtower" right now (music) - there must be some way out of here...

Excellent again, this is incredibly detailed, I really wonder why you even bothered placing cows here, since we almost don't see them, what a waste of time... (lol)

Cor, woodcut printing was good in them days, eh? Utterly wonderful. From one still puzzling out anything other than simple EcoSystems. :-)

Excellent composition, although I can't still see the cows. 8-) Wonderful DOF. I like that sepia tone as if it was an old photo... a very old photo. 8-) I'm still exhausted thinking on all the work involved.

Slick -- your next picture should be the vehicle used to snap the shot... dragon or ancient bi-plane? :o) Seriously, fantastic work.

Superb render Scott! The details are much more visible in this version. I love the antiquated feel this one has. Excellent work!
