Our intrepid astronomer leaves the warmth of a camp fire and trudges away for a bit of star gazing... uses the same background as in my previous image but with a Photoshop 'Spatter' filter applied... the man, telescope and path are manipulated from photos.

I like it - it has a mix of good art and a dreamy, surreal quality. Looks like something I'd see in a museum near the planetarium or astronomy exhibits.
