This is an example of one picture that is worth a thousand words.

Quite impressive. Thank you so much for sharing.

This one caught me by surprise! At first I did only see the lantern, then the Grandfather and the kid and then I discovered that the bunch of sticks they are looking at are actually human bones ... oh my, how sad ...

I agree with Wilber6150. I would love to learn more about it.

Fantastic work and I love the picture, when I first looked at it I thought it was a Christmas scene with the festive snow and a couple of Robins, if I was to be totally honest, I don't really understand it. What is the story behind the picture?

Breathtaking! That lantern looks like it's really glowing right out of the computer screen. Very impressive and moving.

But it's a total send-up...totally fabricated. There is no way this is a legit photo of the era. Bones wouldn't stay attached, they wouldn't stand up vertical (they'd be scattered and flat) and the onlookers, regardless of what they saw, would not be so casual. This is a total send up. But it's reasonably well assembled and retouched. Did you intend this to be a fantasy or did you intend for people to accept it as real. I am uncertain about your intent.

...Sorry to be a Grinch, but that's what I am when I see something like this.

hell of a job, I thought it was a painting at first.....

did you composite more than one photo to do this?

I miss his work.

 

[wilber6150]

I miss his work.

Very orignal work....

Missed the whole point entirely.

It is kind of strange that the kid and the old man were out on a winter night looking for bones.

I missed the message. If one aims to tug on my heartstings... epic fail.

 

[Stony]

I like it.

 

[Waterloo50]

I think that this picture would be brilliant for 'Caption This'.

IIRC oleslavecatcher would use modern photos and make them look 150 years old. A few of his threads -
