Humans are stupid and insignificant and will use just any excuse to get rich, religion being one of the best of all times. Popes ordered numerous crusades, killing in the name of God, all to haul great riches in their treasuries. So if not even the ones who were supposed to be holy are not and aren't striving for an afterlife of happiness I have the guts to say they might be on to something, that being the fact that there is no afterlife. And taking this to an extent, there is no God. If the masters of the church, who can access far more religion-related info than the rest of us humans act like there is no God, then that must mean there really is none. Cause if God existed he would have meteor showered us long ago.

I hereby thank the site sxc.hu for providing a great picture of Sao Paolo for me to work on.
I also thank the deviant ~sadestock for the great stock.
I permit my clubs to post this in their galleries.

How I did it:

Well, there wasn't much to it. The nuclear explosion was done via clouds rendering and coloring. After that It was all a matter of distortion, blurring, liquifying lighting and changing lights. The ghostly angels have been made using some layer effects, on several layers and changing opacity and blending modes, nothing fancy.

Overall: 37 layers + 8 adjustment layers.

Please tell me if you have any opinion on what I should have done to make this look better
