Death Dust




I chose the original image because I found it disconcerting that a child was looking at toxic dust approaching while her father stood there, smiling.  I decided to switch the "spectacle" to a battle between Toxins and Mother Earth- two winged warriors battling.  The man is now smiling because Mother Earth is gaining ground.  I chose to make the image more ethereal to reach out to the child in the original image.
