Initial thoughts
High impact with obvious emotional message.
Composition/ Content
I like the composition of this image â the balance of the âimplosionâ with the leaning man and the grassy earth is strong.
The stance of the man is highly emotive â he looks drained, tired, sad, despairing.
The âwhiteâ highlights in what is otherwise a silhouette are also interesting as are the âwhiteâ plants.
Background
If one takes the âimplosionâ as the background â I like it â great shape and the texture is kind of like paint brush strokes.
Camera Work - Technical
Hard to tell.
Digital Processing - Technical
I am really no expert on this style of post-processing so I donât know how to comment. Given that the image is high impact and emotive Iâd hazard that the processing has achieved what you intended.
Fits The Challenge
Yes.
My Opinion On The Photo
I like it and find it interesting but wouldnât personally want it on my wall/ in my house.

I was very surprised to see how the score had risen during the week. Never expected such a high score for this kind of photo. So I'm very happy, especially because many said that even they normally don't like this kind of digitally manipulated images, they think it works well for this theme. But beware, this only encourages me to refine my skills in digital work ;)
See the "Photographer's Comments" for a description how I did the effect. It was not done with an infrared filter as some suspected, I don't own one (yet!). The "trick" is the colour inversion.
Thanks to all for your feedback. Very appreciated!

| Very interesting editing technique. Very artistic. The sunburst is a little strange inverted and doesn't quite work for me. 8 |

| This is really a kind of digital art. Those trees look great out the back there, as if they are on fire. Nice effect. |

| A little on the abstract side, and, for this challenge, appropriate. |

| People will ask to disqualify your photo I'm sure. I personally think it's excellent! Right on par with the theme. Very dramatic. Excellent framing. 9/10 |

| Stylized image that works well for me. Does it violate the layers rules? I hope it does well. |

| I'n not usually keen on "special effects" but this looks good to me. My only problem is the angle the person is at - it looks like they are about to fall over. |

| Lolve the "negative" aspect of the photo. Able to get the color through levels/curves on a specific color? |
