Artist's Comments

Well... I finished my 3rd manip, although its not quite what I hoped for. Don't get me wrong, I am pleased with it but I was after a particular image for the soldiers thoughts.

However, that may be with me shortly and I may yet revise this version.

Cool, glad you found a use for my stock :)

I think you did an amazing job! And such good balance - the darkness and desolation of the soldier and the poppy fields, while on the right there comes new light, new birth and new hope. The whole thing is bursting with atmosphere. Excellent! :)

Just thought I’d depress you. :D

I really, really like this image. I like the theme and you have executed it masterfully. And I love that you used the poppies; both for what they have come to symbolize and for the fact that my great, great aunt was Moina Michael [link] .

Thanks. :salute:

Thanks very much for your comments... the information you linked was an interesting read and I can see why my piece had meaning to you. Its actually the first time I've learned the reason why the poppy is used as the symbol of remembrance, as they say.. you learn something new everyday. :)
