This is something a little different
This is my entry For the NVIDIA Surreal art challenge.
I started with the idea of an iceberg that melts into the foreground turning into a wave. i wanted to try and get lots of movement happening.
Without getting too deep about it, I wanted to try and portray global warming in a way that shows humans taking a ride on mother earth. She is trying to keep the balance while we are harvesting and going for a ride on her - which is why i choose a lemon tree - lemons being a bitter fruit.
I also tried to reflect the lines/movement from the ground into the smog cloud that eminated from the iceberg factory.
Anyway, I said I wouldn't get too deep about it, so will stop there :-)
a final thought - I found that there's a fine line between composition and clutter with these kind of images, not sure if I crossed that line, but welcome any comments.
