Description
"In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation: here therefore, by silence and by speech acting together, comes a double significance. In the symbol proper, what we can call a symbol, there is ever, more or less distinctly and directly, some embodiment and revelation of the Infinite; the Infinite is made to blend itself with the Finite, to stand visible, and as it were, attainable there. By symbols, accordingly, is man guided and commanded, made happy, made wretched. " - Thomas Carlyle---
Photo of the Clocktower by me.
Smoke brushes by ~SJWalker and ~Ch4ron
Partially inspired by "V for Vendetta"

Buildings can destroy, humans can die but ideas never live years by hundreds and ideas are bulletproof.

Very well done!
I love V for Vendetta. The first time I read it I was compleatly overwhelmed. The writing is brilliant. I like the movie version too, well acted.

Great!
The fire looks very real. Is this done with brushes are taken from a stock image? Or totally differently?

the image of the clocktower was photographed by me. I created the fire using various filters and hue/saturation changes.

This is a stunning pic! It looks very realistic, but if you look closely at the edges of the clock tower there are parts of the sky that look much brighter than they should be. Other than that, good work!

Thank you! Actually when I took the photo, the sky was completely white with cloud cover (it is london, after all) and I wanted to make it a bit darker than it was initially, so I added difference clouds.

thank you. it really wasn't that hard. if you're interested you can always look for tutorials on it and give it a go with those.

Yeah I was thinking that but i can't seem to find the good tutorials.

DA has some good tutorials, as well as pslover.com and then its really a matter of tweaking the final product to get what you want.
