Echoes of what was
Silence of what is
Patience to hold on
Grace to rise above

This picture was inspired by the Foo Fighters new album titled as this picture, and their song "Home".

There is a great story that needs to be told behind this. This once was a great forest, highly magical, filled with all kinds of faeries and magical woodland critters. But soon enough it was all destroyed. Humans waged war against magic. Magic didn't stand a chance. This war in a couple of weeks consumed this Earth extinguishing magic and with it Life,

This tree carcass is all thats left of what once was one of the most magical places on Earth.

To find more about this see picture Never Fade.

try to create some light, as in either stars or or the sun and moon, add some clouds, some objects that are seen far in the back, increase the detail of both tree and grass, introduce some creatures in the picture, add a wind effect 2 something like that 2

:-) Santiago Rodriguez replies: "No, sorry that which you recommed does not fit with the picture at all. It is barren, absent of life and light on purpose. Tha war consumed everything, only that which was highly magical, thus highly enduring managed to leave some sort of imprint behind like a carcass or something, otherwise everything else was consumed."

hm i understand 2 maybe a fog effect would be better?

:-) Santiago Rodriguez replies: "If you look very closely lol you can se an attempt at that, but another version with more fog came out very blurred"
