    Has a scorched earth look to it, very foreboding. Nice effort.

    Sort of a science fiction look, I like it Matt.

    Re: Mumbles Pier

    You have very quickly developed a very individualistic style to your work that is readily identifiable as yours. And that's no bad thing. That 'simple', bold colour palette that features blocks of strong, dominating colour works so well in the way that you use it.

    The images are of a style that is not totally 'my thing', but that's irrelevant. They are very well done images of the style you have employed. You would not walk past this if you saw it hanging. You mightn't want to buy it, but you couldn't ignore it.

    Interesting approach which has created an artistic effect. I wonder if that large dark area in the bottom right corner is tending to overwhelm some of the more delicate areas? Maybe a slight crop?

    The processing has created a few spotty artifacts in the sky.

    I can see this scene as a wall poster.

    Very well put Donald, I agree with you.

    Well done Matt, now please tell me how did you create this?

    I'm sure I asked the same/similar question on another of your artistic rendition threads. But...I can't remember what technique you used?

    Motion blur and shed load of different layers... with a very opaque texture layer on top!

    I'm not sure I could recreate this again if I wanted to

    Thanks Geoff, I tried a few different crops but always seem to revert back to this one.

    The artefacts in the sky are from a texture I have used.

    It looks well cooked and fits my taste nicely. I like it.

    I like your bold pallet too, Matt. I find the bottom left corner a little too light in relation to the rest of the comp.

    Matt, I have mentioned it before. Where do you get your colours from. They are, usual for you, unique.
    Cheers Ole
