| There  are  some  shadow  issues  on  the  right  side  of  this  image  (as  we  view  it),  but  I  decided  to  post  the  image  because  it  reflects  that  our  world  is  only  as  big  as  our  dreams  allow  it  to  be.The  philosopher  says,"Dream  big".....  Please  click  image-Hi-res. |

							i like the way the source fits with the background. i don't see the shadows problem if we are over the clouds. Very nice.

							 For  the  record,  I  did  make  several  attempts  to  add  elements  that  would  explain  the  shadow  on  the  right  side  of  the  portal.  However,  In  my  view,  the  added  element  always  compromised  the  integrity  of  the  theme.

							 I  wanted  the  image  to  have  a  vast  and  spacious  look  that  made  the  "big  dream"  theme  a  reality.  The  added  elements  subtracted  from  the  depth    and  broad  panoramic  view  the  image  has  in  its  impoerfect  state,  so  I  opted  to  sacrifice  realistic  authenticity

							 for  an  image  that  more  truly  captured  the  spirit  of  the  theme.  I  also  believed  that  from  a  strictly  thematic  point  of  view,  the  cast  shadows  without  a  visible  source  could  depict    imagined  forces  in  our  life  which  sometimes  act  as  obstacles  to  our

							 big  dream.  I  wanted  the  image  to  say  that  imagined  obstacles  (unreal  shadow  realities,  if  you  will)  can  never  prevent  us  from  experiencing  a  dream  as  big  and  wide  as  our  hearts  will  give  it  permission  to  be.
