Have you ever just closed your eyes and allowed your imagination to fully consume you?
What would the world be like if you did this for a split second, and opened your eyes to
find that all of your imagination had leaked out into reality? Would inanimate objects suddenly
be just as alive as humans? Would humans be inanimate objects? Would natural roles be reversed,
where we looked up into the ocean, and walked across the sky?
What would happen if there was more to the sights we see every day, than just what we were
seeing with our eyes? Could you imagine what it would be like to find a bustling metropolis
thriving, trading, socializing and growing just beneath the roots of your favorite flowers? What
if all along, we (humanity as we perceive it) were never truly alone...what if everything we have ever

Before photomanipulation, books were the main passion of my life. Since early childhood, I read everything that came into my hands. When the Internet and free digital books became available, I considered myself the happiest person in the world LOL. I downloaded thousands of books and the happiness of owning this treasure overwhelmed me! I imagined them as my own huge libraries, book rows, columns, whole book cities...

So this is Booksburg, my dream city. This work took about a month, it’s the most complicated and detailed photomanipulation I’ve made, it contains 38 stock images, some of them I used several times. There are hundreds of layers here (including correcting and masking layers). Dreamscape is quite new style for me, you will not find anything like this in my gallery. I had a lot of work with lighting, never made illuminated windows just with colors and blend modes. 

Well, I think my work meets all the requirements of the contest, and I hope you like it

Thanks a lot to all the stock providers for these wonderful images:
