It's a beautiful image! But, just a question: with water falling like that, wouldn't it have some ripples in the pond?

thx erikuri, made some ripples in the pond, looks better now

I make some time ago a similar image following the Malgorzata tutorial!

the edge of the lid on the right seems a little too large for the chest compared to the left side and the locket is not in the middle, you did a good job on the mood and the idea is great too. somethign different

good idea!!

Forgot to add the source for the stone table! My apologies!

As a newbie how do I know if a image has already been manipulated?

Good question author. Many times it's obvious, but not always. All I can say is try to develop a sharp eye. Sometimes the author of an image will say it's been manipulated in the description. GL on your entry.

nice work here author, like the work on the hands, very good.

definately a favourite for me

Very eerie cargo there, Author! Fantastic job on the chest. The perspective is precise and very believable.

really is good work.. good luck

Thank you very much everyone!!! Had lots of fun making this shop.

Congrats

Congratulation!

Nice Congrats
