Great image and a very fine model makeup.
My friend Ben,just I have wished you have blurred all the background,you see the blur is absent from the rocks and the lower houses ,hence they have shown very clearly that it is a miniaturized city,with the whole blur this will not be shown,and it give the feeling of a real old city.
thanks to the random image generator that show this artful piece to me.

Strange, bizarre, mysterious, beautiful. If I was a little child this would make me extremely afraid. It´s frightening in the same way that fairy tales of a cetrain kind.

Ben Goossens Thanks Lars:-)

True!!!
When my grandson was 2 and saw this figure he started to cry, now some years later he find it interesting... a child change very fast:-))

Best wishes!!!

Dag Ben,
Ik heb je portfolio eens bekeken en ben sterk onder de indruk... allemaal ijzersterke platen. Doe zo voort en laat je niet ontmoedigen! Groetjes, Karen.

Ben Goossens Dag Karen,
hartelijk dank voor je lieve woorden:-))

Ik heb het hier voor gezien, de meeste montages die goud winnen, worden hier gewoon van de kaart gevegen: rejected: te ver van fotografie.
Hier zijn veel fotopuristen die nog tradioneel werken, die haten mijn genre.

Het is hier vechten tegen windmolens en daar heb ik genoeg van en zeker niet nodig.

Groetjes,
ben

Where is this strange land of yours? I want to go there. A strange series from you Ben,but I love the whole family. very creative work (as usual)

Ben Goossens Hi John, thanks:-))
Indeed strange from me and more in the style of 1x, than surreal PS montages.

The backgrounds are from the "Eftelling" in NL, the figures from street-theater.
I made from both a lot of shots to find the wright fitting ones.
(It toked me 2 years to find the background I wanted)

FG, Ben

John Colbensen 2 years??!!! Wow,talk about dedication :) Even though this is more 1X material it has a surreal aura over it. Hope you won't quit posting your surrealistic masterpieces though ! :)

'Escape to another place
where reflections reveal
a whole other face
wondering it it is real
and lost to this place'.

by me.

I guess it inspired the mystery within me. Great series. Beautiful, dreamy colors, mysterious and strange.

Ben Goossens Thanks a lot dear Cyle:-))))

Gelukkig: óók de derde uit de reeks!
Fantastische serie Ben!
En laat ik niet merken dat ze deze derde niet geplaatst zouden hebben!
Ik had er ook weer eens een opgeladen zoals je weet: Marcella uit Doel!
Rejected! Wist ik eigenlijk al wel vóór ik haar instuurde!
Enjoy!
Een groet uit Olland,
Huib

Ben Goossens Thanks Huib,
deze liggen meer in de stijl EO, vermoed ik.... misschien wel de laatste aanvaarde!!??

Groetjes,
ben

Definitely aficionada! The footprint of Magritte (once) it is operated but falls into another dimension with the "strange land" and I love this fantasy. Congratulations for this work had to ask technical preparation of high level. The result is superb. Again bravo!

Définitivement aficionada! L'empreinte de Magritte ( une fois) c'est bien exploité mais on tombe dans une autre dimension avec le "strange land" et j'adore ce fantastique. Mes félicitations pour ce travail qui a dû demander une préparation technique de haut niveau. Le résultat est superbe. Encore bravo!

Ben Goossens Thanks a lot Marie... indeed, that's why I'm called the R. Magrite/Dali in photography!?
