good work, but clouds should be in the front of moon.

i love the night ! as was mentioned, the only thing that i can say is to put some of clouds in front of the moon imagining the clouds are moving... nicely done

Very good!

im glad you changed the clouds to infront of the moon good job and goodluck

Perfect for a wallpaper :P gj

Nice mood from sources.

nice job

nice idea but i think the front of the ship would be in shadow seeing the moon is at the rear .. but good idea

Nice combination. In highres there's a bit of clean up needed (left from the boat), moon is a bit roughly masked. But nice mood and colors. Btw you made the image some longer, no? In my opinion it would work too if you'd cut of some of the right part, so that there's more balance in the image (left the moon and right the boat, now the boat is in the middle). Good luck!

Thanks Waz, it is much better now, imho

nice mood

Very nice.

nice mood

what??? you know, where is this boat???!!!

LOL.. great job.

PST!!

interesting idea good luck!

Can you be stranded WITH permission?

lol @ cmyk nice blending of the boat in the water, goodluck

Nice clouds

good work, but why text "PST" there?

Thank you for your votes everyone!PST because I thought I express the current state of site

funtastic,i like this arrengment,gl

very nice

nice mood!

Good job.

I like the colors, for some reason the -I guess- bevel/emboss for the text looks a bit off with the rest. What if you'd use these letters but then more painted and that the paint is coming off? Good luck!

Love the blue!!! Very Nice Job and Best of Luck

Maybe not the most original idea of placing the boat in water, but you've done it so very well. And I love the colors of the boat.

Hi I'm interested in getting this imagne the high resolution

Nice work, good luck

back to Gardermoen!

tad on the dark side.. not a bad thing.. wonder if you could soften up the image to get rid of the sharp lines around the people... maybe just edge blur.. they really stand out(they are expertly masked out.. the work is amazing) good luck (Super HIGH MARKS FOR SKILLS)

I like the feel of this, nice one

GolemAura, I purposely made the pirates and the boat sharp because they are in the foreground and in focus. I blurred the water behind them. Thanks for the comments everyone.

nice

Pretty bright for a night scene, I'd desaturate it some...

nice work

nice work! but still needs some polishing. Ditto on the desaturating CMYK. I'd also add that the light sources are wrong. you have the moon in the back, but no shadows. the pirate on the right should be almost completely in the shadow of the boat as of where the moon is, for example.

I really like your composition, but I have a few suggestions. The moon being full and that bright would still cast some subtle shadows toward the foreground. This would help to really place the pirates and boat on the beach. Also, some lighting highlights where the moon is hitting them (maybe use dodge tool) would really look nice!! Good luck!!

Good job!

Very nice!! Clean, clean, clean. I would suggest a little "disturbance" to the sand under all the feet and boat, rather than smooth shadows only. Wet sand usually gives in to pressure and weight by creating impressions and displacement. Agree with CMYK. menelve and Philister on brightness/highlights and shadows. There's something "pasted in" and a bit isolated about the pirate scene compared to the background, it's not blending naturally. Awesome masking! Perfect!

good work, check the propotions

I agree with elemare disturbances on the sand.. It would help make this piece look real if there are footprints and dents under the characters caused by their weight. The sand still looks really smooth...

I agree with the comments on shadows and also footprints in sand. I also think the moon pulls your eye away from the pirates. Maybe it would be better more behind them to silhouette them. Like your idea.

I made changes as suggested, desaturated the main characters and added a shadow. I'll work on the sand if I get time. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

too dark

Too bright, too dark, I give up!!!!

looks much better now! the pirates could still do with having the dodge tool applied to them to make their right side more shadowed.

good idea but i think the front of the ship and the pirates would be in shadow seeing the moon is at the rear .. but good idea

Haha, poor author . I think it's not too dark. What you càn add is a liiiitle bit of highlight on the left side of the standing pirate and the side of the boat. But not very needed either, only if you wanna try. What I wòuld do is put the moon a bit more to the right, cause right now it's almost against the border of the image, which is imo a bit distracting. Put it a bit more to the right and it's more part of the image. Also, the sea in the background is blurry, but the moon is very sharp. Maybe some blur for the moon too? Good luck!

Its great and awesome........wat else...

good work, nice colors

can she... he?.. fly? good luck!

which way is the birdy facing..I can't tell the birds back/front of wings and belly are doing that optical illusion back and forth flip, you might want to continue the beveling affect through all the wings..Only if you want too.. it could be my eyes.. I was working on a frippin blue entry and now my eyes are shot..very good work author

Nice mood and colours

fille, I will ask him and tell you accordingly. BTW it looks that he is preparing for fly

cool mood i like very nice good luck!

nice colors

good job!

great idea good SBS but i feel it should have had a better back ground it looks out of place , like its to big for the surroundings

great mood!

Pretty good! The brushwork on the waves is a bit obvious in hi res, and the right half of the boat would have a lot more shadow, but I like the mood & color. Good luck...

PS: It's SENTINEL

very gold feeling good luck!

You use the pick from the other contest!! I was going to do the same right now.

good work

Nice image. The light on the bird looks like it's coming from the wrong side.
