Artist's Comments

This is a wallpaper im working on, I do intend on releasing a wallpaper size but there are some quality issues i have resolve on the buddha's edges before I submit it at a larger size.

I took this picture myself at Lan tau island (Hong Kong), its a Bronze Buddha that was built in the Tang Dynasty (618 A.D. to 907 A.D.) see here for other shots: [link]

Not sure about the swirly detail but I really wanted to include it. It's based on a sketch I did: [link]

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.

Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)

Awesome work, I really like the swirly detail, I think it works well with the Buddha. I'm totally loving this recent stuff you've been coming out with.

two things.

1) I like the fact that you didn't center the shot. It adds to the overall quality of the photograph in my eyes.

2) To make your description more..."politically correct" instead of using A.D. (Anno Domini - which is Latin for "in the year of our Lord") which is religiously implied as the time after Christ's death. The more common usage is C.E. (Common Era) which is used for those who are offended by religious involvement. Just as B.C.E. (Before Common Era) is used instead of B.C. (Before Christ).

Thought I would just impart that to you. Use it or not, your choice, just thought I would help you avoid problems.

You tell me that I sin. You say I'm bound for hell. So once your judgement condemns you... I SHALL SEE YOU THERE.

Pretty. I like the swirl pattern, it matches the detail on the Buddha's robe.

If you are going to release as wallpaper please release a no text one I won't be able to mod it out and I love the overall design of it now.
