This Is Sparta!

actually its a field of cows... but with some imagination... it can be Sparta.

I did a lot of touch up to the sky and some level tweaks. does this work for anyone?

It is an interesting effect but in the end (for me) that is all it is.

FWIW I like the bottom image slightly more than the top one as the person seems to fit in better with the landscape.

Amazing. I love them both. Moody, slightly off--putting, and awesome.

I like the DOF and clarity in the first one. I think more brown in the grass would help seperate the sky. The second subject matter isn't holding my interest enough.
