I like the overall colours of this image, it suits the elements in the image so well. Good work!

I like it overall however I think it could have been straightened up to make it look level.

I thought of straightening the right entry post, but decided it added to the state of decay. Therefore, I left it as it is, to be fitting of the theme.

This is nice entry author and with few tweaks this can be even better...Sky image and the overall mood don't go with each other...U have day light for the house and people but rainy dark sky...U have to made image darker or to find some other sky for this image...I think that some other sky would be better in this case...Also IMHO spiders are to big..For better blending u can use some color layers in different blend modes..There is slight difference in resolution of provided source image and images that u used so some color layers would fix that difference...sorry for this nit picks...

Erathion, all the changes you requested have been made, with the addition of a nicer weathervane and lightening.

Cool concept. The fairly uniform lighting makes it all rather blah, however. A lot more shadows would make it a lot more dramatic. Some green (for example) interior lights might convey both "open for business" and "eccentric."

it looks loke a painting, very nice good luck!

It's sort of scary, really like it!

in the place of gradient effect u have to put sm another background..... so maybe it look more real then now..

Taking your suggestion. I added a different back to replace the gradient.
Thank you.

Amazing work, and love the Greek and Roman Gods and Goddess. The shading is fantastic, and your use of scrolling is great. I can see myself entering a garden to look at this temple. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Something simple, sweet, and actually easy and pleasurable to view... nice work author!

why yr image is removed from competition many times....???

I am new to this website and did not understand the depth of the rules. I am also new to entering contests. I'm a beginner using Photoshop, completely self taught. Entering contest is something I had never tried before.

Yes the image was removed multiple times by the mods. I had to supply proof of purchase for other images used, an SBS guide and there was an issue with a brush and crediting an author.

I'm still a bit confused over all of it as I see many entries that do not have the requirements I needed to provide. But, I will understand in time with the wonderful help of the Mods in the forum.

The most important point is I am having a wonderful time and very much enjoying this website.

Thank you for asking.

Pre-Purchased Moon and Stars brushes were used along with Knoll Light Factory.

the lizards are to large for the stairs, i like your background..try scale down their size and you will get a realistic outcome..GL
