War of the Worlds

by Teaka53

It was a wet afternoon and I was bored so I played. The backdrop is from one of the Grandkids presents which I rescued before it hit the recycling bin, the globe is about 50years old.set up in a softbox, the lighting was from a desk lamp. I also used a red filter. Let me know what you think

The color is well balanced throughout - Appears to be HDR. It was akin to looking through a red mylar plastic - some immediate appearance of movement in the "asteroids"? It's a winner -- Tg

Like this Malcolm, but I think the lettering on the globe doesn't quite fit!
Best wishes

I like the image, but would possibly myself have opted for replacing the globe with something less recognizable, thus making the image mostly abstract. I love the red nuances in the image!

Nice and a good way to escape from standard piccies

I agree with the comments on the globe looking a little out of place, but the image is very well done and is very effective. I think you deserve a lot of credit for shooting this so well, maybe you could re-visit the shot with something in the foreground that looks more like an abstract planet?

For a prototype made from junk this has been a great success. The independent fragments are particularly effective. Will there be a Mk II Malcolm?

Thank you David & David for your positive feedback, as I said I was just playing using what I had to hand but I am encouraged to revisit
