Nice idea and good colours, but the bridge is blurrer than the statues and I think you should place the mountains and statues lower and reduce them since the bridge is curve and its end probable is lower than the horizon...

I'd flip one of the statues & pay more attention to light & shadow, but nice image...

Definitely flip one statue. They'd look much better facing the opposite way.

Thank you very much all of you, i used dodging and burning to apply light to the figure on the right. Thanks

nice sbs author !! G/L

reminds "The Neverending Story" - one of the films most affected me in my youth.. i love step 13 in SBS - it's greener and more interesting than final result

I love the feel about your image author. good use of source.

Congrats for your first place, Matteo!

congrats Matteo!

I like this one! A couple of goofy things though from what I'm seeing: the sunlight would stop seeping into the room at the top of where the ceiling meets the farthest wall. Presently it is above that line a little bit? Also, it may be correct, but the top of the dark door on the right looks tilted and doesn't seem to match the ceiling line above it. Still, great job on this!

Great job on this

very appealing!

This is good but silver surfer was right about the door. Other than that, it's very well done.

Thanks for your very keen eyes SilverSurfer and jawshoewhah. I have now corrected this if you haven't already voted.

Perfect work, the lighting effects look so realistic

Much better!

this is a very skilled image. love the lighting from the windows and side lights.

Very nice use of source.. i love the light.

Nice idea & blend. Source for sky & sea?

Sky and Sea are from original source ... thx for the comments

great masking ,nice image . G/L

cool work

It's a really good blend and one of the best I've seen but... The lights don't look real in high res. But like I said only noticable in high res.

cool idea.

great blend work author.. nice use of source.

I really love the ballon tho i would dropped the blurred rail in the front of the pic. And why the border? either ways i like it very much!

Thanks Max but if i didnt have a boarder I couldnt do the out of bounds

The in-and-out of the frame thing is just a bit too clever...

The only thing that stands out as odd is the dandy lion on the left. Seems incredibly huge.

Great imagination!

Nice to see something quite different from the bridge. Nice use of source author.

great use of source author. love the balloon and rainbow. GL

congrats!

Photo of woman in SBS is not the one used in this entry...

CMYK, look carefully, this woman is not in the front, but on the back. Honestly, she is there.
Edit: To avoid misunderstanding I've uploaded fullsized picture, that I used as a source.

I can see that you want a foggy misty feel, but the woman is somewhat transparent and you can see part of the building and bridge through her, perhaps leave her as she is but mask out what is directly behind her

Interesting take on the source. Only suggestion I have is tone down the fog a little but that's just my opinion.

Thank you guys for comments. Sorry, mods, I came to the site too late today, and was unable to upload each picture in separate step. I'll take it to attention next time. Madamemonty, I mean it to make her little bit ghosty, other wise I would make her layers in normal instead of screen and multiply, that gives kind of sheer look.

good choice of stock photos. interesting outcome.. GL
