Elemental - Earthby *artorifreedom

DescriptionDetailsShare
Water Earth is one of the four classical elements in ancient Greek philosophy and science. It was commonly associated with qualities of heaviness, matter and the terrestrial world. Due to the hero cults, and chthonic underworld deities, the elemental of earth is also associated with the sensual aspects of both life and death in later occultism. In alchemy, earth was believed to be primarily cold, and secondarily dry, (as per Aristotle). Beyond those classical attributes, the chemical substance salt, was associated with earth and its alchemical symbol was a downward-pointing triangle, bisected by a horizontal line.

Critique by ~Michel-le-fou Mar 23, 2012, 10:23:46 AM
It is very interesting that you credit Saturn as the regent planet here, but it has animal life similar to ours. Eg, the horse or the small forest animals. I recall that Robert E Howard adapted the horse in Mars for his John Carter stories--i.e, a thoat was a horse-like animal with six legs instead of four. As a rendering of Earth life, it is very well-presented; but again, for another planet, and some are perhaps uninhabitable, a slight adaptation would be better.
The general photographic technique is good nonetheless. The lighting and color scheme is very natural. The association between the animals is amusing too.
What do you think?

I find this marvelously amazing. Truly, its beautiful and captures both the imagination and creativity of a 'surrealism scene'. I love the colors and the woods animals. Truly, you did a wonderful job. :D
