Bad masking on tree, bad perspective...branches wouldn't be behind the church.

thanks for the comment sir... perhaps i will go back and remask the tree, but i spent about 3 hours on just the tree already, there was a lot to get rid of as you can see from the source... also i have the branches going behind the church on purpose, kind of surreal that way.

agrees. You could have used a pre masked tree from deviant art or download mask pro

you could use the lightning effects to make the thunder more real

@Barnacle... LoL, pre-masked tree!? then how would i ever learn? @Rakib... what is unreal about the actual thunderbolt i found?

hey i'm not saying that your thunderbolt is so unreal.ok...but when a thunder hits any place the area get lightend

Image edited... remasked tree, and added a little extra oompf to the lightning bolt... figured i'd make it rain too... enjoy ;]

How would you learn ? Don't waste your time masking tree's. Like I said, get a pre masked tree or don't use a tree. You worked hard at this, I can tell, But if you spent your tree masking time on effects or some kinda surprise it would pay off better. Not being a smartass, honestly, I bet this comes last or second last.

what a jerk comment. I understand your point about masking a tree or not, but to say that i will be getting last or second to last was just uncalled for. thanks for the support douche.

Name calling ? lol

hey, that's how we 12yr olds roll ;] LoL!

looks pretty cool! i agree w/ cmyk on the branch though

Nice job for only being 12. Just remember author that not all constructive criticism is constructive.

LoL! i'm so not really 12, i was just responding to that guy's non-constructive criticism... thanks Jaw!

lol :P
