The lord of Earth.   created from a rather bad photo of myself  taken one night on my digital camera (you know those really scary images where you just hold the camera out at arms length and take a photo? yeah its one of those)  this  image  was manipulated through  the use of photoshop and paintshop.   the first in my elemental series  and probably the one i am least happy with.

I love the orange green mixture. The smudged lines give an abstract feel. I'm not too crazy about the portrait in their, but I guess if it wasn't there, this picture would be considered completely abstract, and not get into Elfwood in the first place.

:-) Adam Houston replies: "i have to admit this is the picture i am least happy with as well and for a long time i wasnt going to include it in the end however the abstract lines made me think of all the spirits of the earth growing up from their source so i had to put it in. "

*First Comment Curtsey* I'm really impressed with these elemental images. This and the water element are my favorite--although each one is brilliant in its way. You're very good with photo manipulations!

I really admire this picture, Adam! The contrasts work very well, and the abstract shapes surrounding the face make you imagine anything. I think this is the best of your Elements-series. The shapes are well chosen. They remind of rocks and leaves - they are stiff and flowing, stony and leaf-like at the same time , and I think this fit perfectly for the theme earth.
