great job, i like it

like the idea, and the feel of the image. as for execution, it leaves something to be desired. Many many masking and blending issues throughout. Also, one quick fix would be to blur the tree you added to the background. it should be slightly less in focus than the tree that is behind your castle. Good luck!

Well bjaockx, at first thx for ur comment, but i think ur over reacting by saying that there r many many masking and blending issues. Im pretty familiar with photoshop and won serveral prices in here, and i have to disagree with u. If there were many blending issues like u said, it would mean that i just copy and paste the images without blending them together and that is just not true. The only thing u mention is the tree well then just tell me what more is wrong with this image

I really like the overall look of this author! The color and idea make for a really nice composition. What bjaockx might be referring to is the masking of the main chess piece. The upper left area side is a hard edge, but the rest of it seems really, really soft. If you perhaps make the soft edges a bit less soft and slightly soften the area mentioned...it might help. You've done well with this and would love to see those changes which undoubtedly would improve it...especially when viewed high res. GL author!

EDIT: Looks

thx pxlkid for ur compliment and suggestions, i changed the image of the chess piece, found one that i liked more, made the changes hope u like it

Wow, very nice mood. Good luck!
