Hey all,

These are some of the pictures I posted earlier in other threads. I have a love for horizons and the dawn/ dusk skyline. The pictures have been shot with a D70 and the 18-70 AF Nikkor lens. Some retouching was done to remove dust specks and of course, some tonal changes were done in post. This because I am a fan of surrealism and I wanted to induce this feel in my shots:

Sandeep, looks "nice" to me. As far as Surrealism is concerned, the 1st and 3rd fit more or less the bill. But the 2nd looks more real than surreal. And you can try adding some strange coloured clouds on to your photographs to enhance the surreal look since you seem to be striving towards the "Industrial surreal" look. (God I used to be a fan of Surrealism once upon a time, but Dali took the fun away by overdoing it and "eating into space" if you know what I mean.)

Synn, the 1st one doesn't look realistic though..coz of the greenish light being produced in the picture..!!

Rest 2 have come out well.. :)
