nice mood your making there. there seems to be two lightsource from the clouds; it's too bright for the stars to be seen yet and some of the clouds seems to be behind the stars. lastly, a lot of dogs running syncronously is a bit odd. nice image though and i like the mood here.

You mean you've never seen a pack of synchronized dogs run wildly through a field on a dimly lit day with the stars shining brightly? haha... Well the stars were supposed to be more of a borderish thing, not really supposed to elude to night at all, so oops on that one. The two light sources were intentional to imply a cloud breaking the light source into "two"..... and I like synchronized dogs...lol

the lightrays wouldn't supposed to be on the same angle then, and the dog would have stronger shadow with that strong light...just my observation. good work though!

nice work... didn't under stand the dog's intention there.. are they going to attak her... the three dogs seems like that but the other dogs that are far dosent look like so...and the lights are still strange.. looks like they are coming from two different angle.. else is very good and nice mood created... very well done and Gl. Author..

I'm agree with hereisanoop

Thanks for all the input! I can see I could definitely have made the lighting a little better, directionally and more shadows, I was just trying not to overdo it with the shadowing actually! Anyways, thanks to all, your critiques are very valuable.
