Konvulse: 1979 [link]

One thing the world feared during 1979 was countries having another war, but beyond tanks and infintry. There was a great rush for world power between Russia and America. People all over the world feared that Russia would bomb America. Of course if this happened, America counter attack with a nuclear missle strike of their own. The result could leave our world in a state of nuclear winter.

The colors of this photo (which if you can tell has been mirrored) and the setting of which the photo was taken to me, sets the viewer in a state in which they would be worried, or fearful of what is to come.

Typically I don't like the mirrored effect that much, but I really think it sends an impact to the viewer that is being built up to the center. Hope you like :)

It truly does capture that atmosphere of an area that has been abandoned just a day after the apocalypse, and has yet to show the signs of the collapse of civilization. Very nice piece indeed.

Heheheh. I like the mirror-effect you put there. It's surreal, and helps build the sense of unease in the picture.=) I noticed though, you changed the 40 so it wouldn't be reversed, but the angle is the same as the one on the other side.:giggle: no worries, it's not a major issue.:D I think it would be cooler if it were some vent or marking that was not a number, but similar in appearance.8)

Not a bad idea, but yea I did flip the 40 cause if I didn't it would look more fake.
