Description My newest work... Something simple and soothing. I wanted a lot of empty space here, to kind of focus in on the small area of light, the moon lighting and disappearing behind the clouds. I also wanted a very dreamy feel, obviously, so I had lots of light-haloing type stuff, the gentle glow around almost everything. Why didn't I work in stars, you ask? Well, a moon that bright would probably blot them out due to light pollution, and more importantly--they'd prolly destroy the image, at least as far as I can tell. I like it, and it's my current wallpaper (I feel a little weird, using one of my own wallpapers.... kind of cocky... eh. )

Anyways, enjoy.

you were right for the stars it wouldn't have been as beautyful as it is now , it makes me think about how i imagined Caladan in Frank Herbert's novel Dune

Soothing for sure. Don't worry about using ur own wp, you should be proud of it, so I say strut all ur work.

ryorinin07 [2004-06-07 02:48:52 +0000 UTC]

Excellent stuff. Eloquent, even -- the glow on the moon is a great touch, and the clouds work perfectly. The sky being devoid of stars only strengthens the mood; you're right, putting anything else up there would've marred the picture. Great work. /+fav

s15jesusfreak [2004-06-07 01:41:11 +0000 UTC]

that is sooo beautiful!! it makes me want to . i do see a problem, however. It seems like the clouds just sort of abruptly end under the moon. I thought they should sort of taper off if you know what I mean. Like this:

--
--
--
--
--
--
--
--
--

yeah, kind of like that. Otherwise, it's absolutely stunning! So calming and peaceful.
