July 2007 Winner: "The Dock", by Thomas MacCallum, Light Dome PRO + Mood Master

Motivation:

The mood in this image is almost touchable and breathable. Thomas impresses yet another time with outstanding shadows, brilliant composition and incredible depth and attention to details.

The Light Dome PRO was but to the test, with the captivating strong sun shadows, and the subtle soft shadows all over the image. Mood Master was used not only to add the astonishing fog and depth, but also to add additional depth of field.

Congrats Thomas! A $8 Daz Certificate is on it´s way along with the Ultimate Skies Package ($5.95 value).

Wow! Carfefully posed - giving a very delicate and fragile feeling. Nice touch with the red shoes and umbrella. Fantastic see through effect, and a headpose leaving the imagination on full throttle.

Very nice shadows - especially the one that fades away on the floor...
