While the last photo is really cool, creative and generally awesome – its not epic in any way. Same goes for the 2nd shot. Someone above mentioned that its done with some tutorial, totally not epic. All nice choices nonetheless.

I read this blog daily for the photography – thus I would think your asking for an “epic” image would be a Photograph. I might be splitting hairs – but when 98% of this blog is on Lighting and equipment, BTS footage and some amazing photgraphic artists -(keep up the great work by the way) - I was kind of hoping to see less manipulated photos make the cut. (not to take away from the great art of others – however there is a distinct difference between being a photographer and a graphic artist)

The thing about this contest that doesnt make sense is your asking for a photo that is Epic – are you asking for a photo or digital art? There is a line that should be drawn (no pun intended) between Photography and digital manipulation.

An awesome collection of images here! Thank you very much for considering mine, but I think my favourite is Oliver Suckling’s image “Climbing the Glacier” it really is pure epic! my vote goes to him :)

Nice work by all the photographers here. The first image is of lower falls in Yellowstone. Check out the same location shot with the Sigma SD1 46mpx camera. not my image, but captures the grandness of the location. http://www.flickr.com/photos/seng_merrill/6248446050/sizes/o/in/pool-1555103@N22/

Well I would hope that you could see that I put a lot of hard work into it and didn’t just use stock images, the girl in the photo is my partner Kelly Bond. I photographed her for the artwork and I digitally painted a lot of landscape. I did take inspiration from other photoshop artists and I always credit them and ask them what they think of it. I know Karim Fakhouy the artist that published that tutorial you have posted and he can tell you that my piece of art work in this post was out almost a year before that tutorial, (look at the dates) and that my image looks nothing like it? the Image was infect inspired Oswald Synectic. But thanks for taking an interest and the time to comment anyway :)
