White Sands, New Mexico. Quite possibly the most surreal natural formation in the world. Mile after mile of pure white sand that nearly nothing grows on, with mountains in the distance, and stealth fighters flying overhead.

The reason its looks insignificant is because A) those guys are 7-8 feet tall, so your sense of scale is off and B) The artist has scaled the guns wrong to the Space Marines.

Also not sure if hes shouting. Thinking hes more roaring/growling/just has his mouth open.

Crono5

Regardless, that picture wasn't all that amazing. Cool-looking, sure, but not amazing.

I'm running out of pictures... might be a while before I find some more. In the mean time, I leave with three more:

The first two are done by <a href='http://www.howardlyon.com/' target='_blank'>Howard Van Lyon</a>:

Necron Labs:

Necron City:
<img src='http://s95094929.onlinehome.us/stuff/city.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

I regretably am unable to determine the artist of this last piece. Furthermore it looks as if it was a work in process...

I work in a museum at weekends, and i gotta say it can be pretty boring at times.

However, from the whole museum this is my favorite painting. Human Frailty by Salvator Rosa. There's something about it, mysterious and deep, especially when you see it in real life, the painting is huge, central in the gallery and just towers above you.

<img src='http://www.stylusart.com/noticias/renacimiento/foto2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

This image is pretty small though and you can't see the detail properly if you like the look of it then the museums summary is <a href='http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/pharos/collection_pages/italy_pages/PD_53_1958/TXT_SE-PD_53_1958.html' target='_blank'>here</a>

Also theres a short but pretty interesting animation on the painting <a href='http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/pharos/images/swf/PD53-1958.swf' target='_blank'>here</a>

Anyway we don't really have many 'proper' paintings here yet, but in my opinion this is an amazing image...

Belgarion

nice topic. here's my contribution. I took this just yesterday and it's one of my favorites now. I've got hundreds more, but as this is new for me i thought i might post it.
The image has not been cropped, that is true to the original photo's proportion. The flower itself is no more than an inch long and 1/2 inch wide. You see it from the half-inch direction. I guess some might not say it's "amazing", but I love it.

And yes, i think it's amazing. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> *me <3 photography*

I know I specifically dissuaded people from posting screenshots in this thread, but I seriously think this is the best screenshot I have ever seen of any game. Its from the upcoming "Call of Cthulhu" based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

Does the crowbar look.... wrong to anyone else? It always looked to me as if the "bend" of the crowbar is wrong. It just looks..... wrong.
