I love how it resembles the carcas of a huge insect.
Wonderful composition, great lighting, nominated.

I love it, but after staring at it for a while, I'm wondering what's going on in the sky behind it (the whitish bits that look like soap-bubbles). Kinda freaky in many ways...

[jgblodgett]

Wow. Awesome color - almost other-worldly. Nominate as finalist

The quality of the shot is breathtaking, the intricate subject matter, the light and the colour are perfect. When you look at a picture, you immediately think, how could I improve on this. I don't have an answer, it's so good. You've captured natural beauty at its best, the corrosion is magnificent, you are drawn to look inside, the colour of the decaying wreck compliments the surrounding colours.

Nominated, for I've played this game, just can't remember the name. Very steampunk.

[PixelBucket]

Great pic, like a painting. How much post production have you done? Looks like HDR. Reminds me of films like Mad Max. Very dystopic! Nominated.

[newzer]

Very surreal! Nominated!

nominated, love the post-apocalyptic feeling of this and also its resemblance to a skeleton (like one of the large sandworms from Dune)
