Time Shift

[maddogmurph]

The only constant in life is change. As energy bathes us, and water cools us, time shifts forward. Our memories are like this landscape, etched into our brains as traumatic storms and gleeful experiences create pathways. With landscapes these pathways are as clear as our memories, but never permanent except for in this moment.

Nice narrative and even nicer illustration of it.

Elegant. An eye-feast of textures.

The processing is perfect for this image, too.

Heart stopping. Another masterpiece.

Really nice but it reminds me of the crusty top of a pan of brownies!!!

My A1C is kicking in, I guess!!

Sorry guys, would love to share the secret, but I simply can't make it that easy. I'll post some things over the next few months that will be hints if you continue to follow my work

The processing is perfect for this image, too.

Triple processed. Once to bring out highlights with a warmer tone, then a dark process to bring in shadows with a cooler feel, and the base process which is balanced - yet contrast lacking. There's a slight vignette added as it seemed to help enhance detail at the top - but was not applied to the bottom as the shadows there were already heavy. I went back and forth on softening the image, but ended up liking the softness rather than the sharpened look - it made the image glow.

I propose a guessing game.  I have no idea even what continent maddogmurph is on, but I think it'd be fun to try and guess where he shot this.

Wanna play?

PS: Not a fan of location secrecy (okay to not provide specifics, but I see no harm in giving out the general area).

[Peter McLennan]

Well that was a short contest. Looks like Rajan nailed it.
I was gonna guess The Pariah Plateau.

That's because you are probably not a professional.

Any pro handing out info on a plate to the world is insane. Next minute your stuff (and research) is worth cents instead of a few dollars - at best.

Of course, I have no idea if the OP is a pro either, but the principle remains.
