Description
Edit - I have adjusted the shadow, and corrected the position. Thanks so much for the suggestions!Been busy with Easter and heartbreak, so yeah, this is my latest mix media piece. He is looking for inner peace - as I am. As I think we all are.
My Entry for The Secret Garden Contest - [link]
I find the search for inner peace - a secret garden to be a place that would offer solitude and hope. A dream on some levels that one can walk to and find peace offered from the very depths of nature. To be surrounded by the magic of it all and to simply exist. No words need to be spoken. Just the silence and magnitude of what surrounds you. It is my vision of a `secret garden`.
With thanks to the following:

I don't really like the opacity of his shirt in correlation to the rest of the picture. That black is too dense and detail-less. His silhouette seems a bit too sharp also, if you look at the big picture, it's all dreamy but you can see the photo resolution on his outline, if you get what i mean. Doesn't seem to fit 100 percent. BTW, nice architecture mixing
Actual reason i am commenting is that it reminds me of a short animation i saw once, called "The Cathedral", in which the guy enters this old abandoned cathedral, made out of... and guess what happens...

wish i could come up with 100 words so i could write a critique
you do such beautiful work bringing concepts to life. your ability to see how unassociated pieces can be pulled together to create a completely natural looking scene that could not physically exist is amazing.
uhm, although it's been mentioned i still have to ask;
why is the shadow on the Light side?

Hello!
I actually had the shadow on that side, due to the light coming in from the window - which was my initial thought. But, thanks to the critiques I have recieved (including your own!) I had now corrected it and changed the shadow to reflect the small lights in the arches, rather than the larger light from the window. It does make more sense to do that.
Thank you so much!

DOH! the window!
i didn't even think of that.
see, there's there's another example of subconsciousness pre-programmed "thought"; i didn't even consider the dark wall as being the light source. now that you've pointed it out it makes perfect sense.
hmmm, maybe you should put the shadow back where it was....

this is an amazing piece, but if i might ask as to why the arm on the dark side is lit up and the arm on the side with the lights is not?

Hello - I`ve edited the piece to reflect the difference in light. I originally had the light coming in from the window, which I used to light him, and also place his shadow, but thanks to the critiques I`ve received, I`ve now adjusted it and changed it.
Thanks so much for your assistance!

I like it, it reminds me of the church ruin you did a while back, altough this is from another angle, making it look more impressive and imposing. I'm very found of al those little details like hanging moss and tiny flowers.
I can imagine the guy coming here in search of a dead religion and lost god to try to find something to sooth his mind. Something he can't find elsewhere, so he hope for a link to his ancestors through their religion.
