A spaceship from another star
They ask me where all the people are
What can I tell them?


I’ve seen this sphere in front of the City Hall (of Belgrade) and the first thing I thought was that the aliens have arrived and how I need to run for my life!
But, it turned out to be a piece of modern art…

Well, after some (a lot) desaturating, blurring, sharpening, dodging and burning, this is how that scene looked inside my head!
I know that by doing this I show disrespect toward modern art, it’s like placing a funny hat on sculpture of David, but I’m brainwashed by American culture and SF movies, so that’s ok, right?

Anyway, I’ll place the original shot as a workshop, so if anyone is interested, there it is.

Great PP work ! It does look like an alien space ship just landed on the square.

Of course it is OK, it is your vision.

Wonderful !

Good imagination, concept and excellent rendition. Looks just like a still from the movie "Close Call from Alien Beamings and Abductions, Part 2". Effective!!! Tilt adds drama.

Great capture and good note. ET phone booth? Hat on David is ok, but do imagine him in tanga!

Ni Ed Wood ne bi bolje snimio male zelene. Originalno.

Tell them they can abduct me right away!! it's getting boring and crowdy here on Earth;D but I'm not having babies with them :/

Fantastic imaginative work, Alex! the tilt does it, just superb angle. I admire your PP, as usual!

I am also flattered they chose Belgrade to land...but now we have to borrow Bruce Willis to save the world?! So much for brainwashing...

Odlican si, bravo! Bila u Bg pre neki dan i morala do Banovog Brda...joj, vi ste stvarno imali probleme sa vodom. Nadam se da si ti dobro! Puno pozdrava!
