"The creative power of God inspires awe. I'm filled with reverent wonder as I contemplate it. To think that he spoke and worlds came into being! In contrast to God, I work with raw materials that he created. My creativity is derived from his. I put the wrapping paper and ribbon on his packages. I praise you, Lord, for your incredible imagination and creativity. I thank you that I can, in a very small way, imitate it."

Image Viewer Testimonials

I really see the Ansel Adams in this with the stark contrast between the tones. As for the Bierdstat in this, I think it would be the way he would visually compose it but it doesn't have the dreaminess or Thomas Kinkade type of style which would be almost equivalent to some selective guassian blur orton effect in the image. Which is fine because it's more of a natural view. Great photograph James.

This is awesome! The light just makes this sing with tension and excitement, the dunes and mountains work incredibly well together. Like Steve said, I very much see the Ansel in this, not as much the Bierstadt, but that doesn't matter, what matters is you were inspired, and created a work of art
