Congrats on the first place..

A Girl.. walking in a skimpy dress on Gargoyle Road... in the middle of the night.. this reminds me of that black comedian who used to say they should just rename all Horror films as "Attack of the Stupid White People".... .. If you are looking to buy a house and when you enter it and it says in a super scary low voice "GET OUT" you don't move in.. but stupid white people will move in.. so I guess you get a movie out of the deal.. LOL A black family would say, "Lovely house... But we can't stay..." sometimes they leave skid marks LOL

Very lovely moody piece.. very professional.. NOW GET THAT STUPID WHITE GIRL HOME.. before she gets her self killed... (at least she's not in skimpy white underwear running through the forest with a blood stained killer WALKING after her just waiting for her to sprain her ankle....

GOOD LUCK.. and GREAT JOB.. very beautiful and instant fav

You never know who is the hunter and who is the hunted. And the skimpy dress, what better bait for a hunter trying to draw it's prey into a trap. That poor, unwary traveler skulking around behind her may just find stalking to be a dangerous passtime

spoken like a girlie girl author.. LOL.. (I've roomed with Lesbians.. and I'll tell, they scare the crap out of me) LOL

to true.. you can be the biggest MALE monster, but nothing beats the pissed off female..

BIG SMOOCH.. hehehe (you little devil you)

Extra points for the consistent lighting! Good on ya,for not making it so damn dark you can't make out what you're looking at! Really nice job on the side of her waist. Great work!

Superb work author...really really great scene...with lighting like this overall look gives nice mystical mood...well done

SBS is done! Whew! Sorry for the delay but thought I would run out of time and was not sure I would be able to get more than the GIF done.

Wonderful concept with perfect excecution... Love it.. Great job... And @deae slushy...

Thank you for the wonderful comments and the favs ... personal thanks coming as soon as voting is closed

WOW, incredible work, author! Good job on all the different lighting details. Your sbs would make a great tutorial!

Scenic beauty is great......... Nice execution.....Great Work........G/L Author.

nice second place congrats

Well deserved. Beautiful work, Arca!!

Congrats arca!

congratulations...

Congratulations!

Congrats on a beautiful second place

speed limit enforced by aircraft (Oh crud).. hehehe.. great idea author.. wonderful use of your own images

High res looks good, and the sign adds a good touch of humor...GL author!

Excellent work, very good technique!

Incredible work ... love the whole composition! Agree about the sign ... great touch there!!! In high res I can see the people from the original image in the car window. Not a big deal but IMO it would look better if they weren't there and would make this a top scoring entry for me!

Thanks for your comments! Great observation, arca!

Edit: I removed the faint pedestrians from the windshield. Can't believe I didn't catch that!

Didn't mean to be too nitpicky ... It was just when I looked at it in Hi res and clicked to enlarge the image it opened with the window right in my face ... I doubt I would have noticed it otherwise. Just a fluke and of course once I saw it I couldn't un-see it. I really debated even saying anything but it was such a great image that thought it should be perfect! Now it is! High marks from me!

Fantastic work author...Great hit in the center of the contest goal...small nit pick...car is a bit more on a right side of the road then on left, so light from the car had to be a bit wider on right side...Now they are equal or even wider on left side...This is minor suggestion author,cause image is perfect and all elements are maintained perfectly...best of luck

great one!

Great concept for this, and really nice exectution - I guess the former owner of this antique is still in control of it - I'd be as freaked out as the deer!

Bravo and well done, convincing result for sure! Good luck!

it looks so real! great image!

Pretty good work here. gl.

congrats on the 3rd place

thank you

congratulations...

Congrats!!

congratulations...

Congrats!!

Congrats man....

great mood

wonderful work, can't say more. Love the way you kept adding and adding things to make this image, this mood. Absolutely gorgeous, my fav. Good luck author!

Impressive amount of work and love the results. Nisha is right ... the mood is wonderful!
I do think that the arches/pillars could use bit of clean up ... there are tiny bits of the original image showing when viewed in high res and the edges could be improved.

As the stone in the arches and pillars are old, the edges would have pits, dents and cracks that would show when viewed in profile. If you use a layer mask you can "push" the mask in with the smudge tool in places like where the round stones meet each other (there would be a slight indent). Roughening the edge and taking away that straight-edge mask look would really help. Let me know if this doesn't make sense and I can try and explain better.

EDIT: Changes look good.

Scale problems: Leaves are too big, cat is too big. Woman figure has white outlines that could be easily removed by selecting the figure, contracting 1 pixel & deleting. Good concept that could benefit with some tweaks...GL author.

Thanks a ton ARCA and CMYK46 for ur precious suggestions...indeed it did improve the overall feel of the image( i think so)...further suggstions r more than welcome

Fantastic mood and great composition author...love the purple feel and your moonlight is amazing...well done man

Thumbs up dude

Kinda surreal...love the shadows.

Love it , nice job author

The lighting on the lower RH corner is inconsistent and unrealistic. The figure would be more visible, while the highlight on the hat and face would not be so bright. There would be no glow on the top of the hat, rather there would be a consistent backlight glow around the entire body.

The light from the standing figure does not correspond to the light at his feet, nor especially to the light behind him. It is as if there is a street light mounted on the building behind him, and he's holding a flashlight while standing beneath it.

It's a nice image, but the day to night lighting concept needs much more consideration...

Thanks for the illumination

this is very very cool composition author...love the mood and the details...and please don't listen evil tongues...

Thanks eration I felt like I have done a serious crime

Author, you have done a good job..

Really nice! I like the details you've added, but would expect to see a cast shadow on the wall on the left side of the guy. Good luck!

Though it seems more twilight than night, I absolutely love this. Well done and good luck.

hehe.. reminds me of an old cartoon.. where this guy is walking home and there's this huge hideous monster waiting for him on the path and a thought bubble saying "Oh no, not this guy again LOL".. great image

love this, good luck!

Fascinating image ... if I were the guy in the Top hat I would turn and walk the other way. There must be a different route home!!!! Great composition and love the story it tells!

Lovely mood, well done author
