I love this one! Just a quick tip, maybe you could enhance some whites with a selective colors adjustment layer! This could help to give some contrast to the whole image! But very nice overall feeling! Best of luck!

Your step by step shows how intricate this entry is, but without seeing it the image just look too simple.. in my opinion, you should try making the high res even bigger, just to get all the detil to show.

Really good work, and good mood, but the boat only has a shadow, not a reflection like the house. Fix that and this will be really great!

nice mood. GL!

Let me live 'neath your spell,
Do do that voodoo that you do so well.
For you do something to me
that nobody else could do!

Cole Porter.. hehehe..

good job, the rocks are like faces

Thanks! That's the reason i liked this image, there was a really clear face looking to the left :P

this is great! very good job author

Good mood & color ...maybe the water is too flat along the waterline?

Thanks Devangel! And than you as well CMYK, i'll try to work on that

Little too dark but i like it, great work

very nicely placed the cottage there. good work

Thank you, everyone

beautiful work author i would live there

Haha :p Thanks

I really like the water!

Thanks, believe it or not that's the bit that took the longest xD

Very atmospheric piece great colours & lighting!

Thank you

Very nice colors! High resolution would really help for details! And you could try to add some light source (maybe from the moon)! I would personally pick the left side to add the source light and then add some really soft light beams (gaussian blur and lower opacity) coming onto the land and little cottage's left side. This would really give your image a focus point and light up some of the rock and house details! Best of luck!

I'll try it out. Thanks

ooooh the house fits

Haha :p

very nice! but i think you have some leftover artifacts there around the roof (left). or are those stars?

for the sake of time, let's just call them stars elficho

Very nice work, this is really well done, I really like the atmosphere of the piece.

Thank you very much!

Nice image, i think you need to work a little more on matching the colours and the contrast, the sky and the ocean have a lot of punch, and the actual foreground just looks a bit flat. Good luck!

great job with the balloon its really good and i love the idea high marks from me!

Perhaps put some shading on bottom of the rocks. It'll give shape. Darken bottom of entire 'floating island' and brighten the top to better represent the light source.

and what about the Septic.. did you think of that??? And property taxes, and garbage pic up.. seriously.. great Idea but what about zoning issues.. hehehe (GREAT FANTASY PIECE.. high marks from me the concept is wonderful

nice work, can imagin it took some time to put together

You forgot the fairies, robots and butterflies...

Great idea, and very nice made. BUT, if waterfalls are at the edge, wouldn't be water falling from this flying island?

really really original i like it a lot except for the balloon colors that are too vivid compared to all image.

nice idea and nice job author

Nice composition. The ballon cutout could use some feather when looked in High Res.

Nice composition and great work

Congrats! Well Done!

wow thats cool

Very beautiful Image.. but tell me author... where did he get his Hair Cut??? Where did he get a perfect layer cut in the middle of the jungle? (I don't even want to know what he had to squeeze to get the conditioner) sorry, been watching too much Discovery Channel and Animal Planet.... great Job.. scampering off onto the next entry.. woo HOOOO

Nice mood but as golem said his hair is too perfect for a native ^^

At least you could have removed his silly tattoos...

GolemAura thanks for comment and humourous suggestion, I have put leaves from source to hide his hair. CMYK thanks for pointing out silly tatoos, I have clone it out.

nice

Very nice!

I really like this....

Lool! When i saw his new head/hair i had to laugh, so funny xD i mean you did a really great job, no more perfect hair but well with these plants on head he looks rly funny, well done author! True native now.

beautiful color! you could explain in the sbs how did you achieve that

congrats!

congrast

congrats

Good idea, very nice, realistic snow on the house. Good job!

Not understanding the crookedness of the house. Think it would be better if it were level. Nice atmosphere and mood. Makes me cold!

good work

Great
