About "Across the Universe" incorporates visual elements from my two previous posts on USEFILM -- the wicked sunflower from "Midnight Watch" and the dragon wing from "Nocturna." But while the previous two images explore the close-up world, this does the exact opposite by focusing, as it were, on infinity. I've brought in a couple of sea gulls to suggest the idea of space and flight as well as a ghosted wolf skull and the armour-like dragon scales as a reminder that most of humanity has imagined the night sky as a reflection of terrestrial archetypes. Finally, there's the centerpiece of this image -- the cosmos itself -- created by photographing the reflections of the sun on the surface of a shallow swimming pool. I was tempted to add a strong central subject, or at least a foreground silhouette to frame all this. But for once, I decided to leave well enough alone. Comments are always welcome.

Sė, Anna! Ho inviato questo all'altro posto ed immediatamente ho ricevuto due osservazioni sarastic. Finora (č stato soltanto una coppia dei giorni) la gente sembra molto pių aperti agli impianti creativi.

Have you considered doing a deal with JK Rowling, I'm sure this could be used in a Harry Potter book or advert, it is absolutely wonderful, it brings out the kid in me, it is the sort of image I used to see in the books I read as a child, extremely well carried out with PS. The tripoints of interest are dead right, I agree with Elizabeth I always look forward to the next McNitt presentation, thanks so much Jim - Richard.

Jim, I look foward to your photos. I am drawn to them because they are so artistic. Plus....you give such a detailed explaination as how you achieved the final "painting"..Wonderful.

The composition looks little bit too busy, with a shift of ballance to left, the biggest problem for me is that my eyes concentrate on the left part of composition and there is no connection leading them to the right side, which is left half empty. I would like to see the 'stone wing??' on the lower left part to be continued more towards wolf skull as a connecting element. The center seagull looks out of place, I would like the composition more without it.

You were correct not to add a strong central subject imo...you have three points of interest imo and I wouldn't want the trinity messed up by making us focus somewhere.

For the record what I think the points are -

the ghosted wolf skull (I think that is it)
the two gulls:

one as the gull itself (the central one)
and one as it flies out of the scales (more abstract and not so much the gull as the scales)
