in the place of gradient effect u have to put sm another background..... so maybe it look more real then now..

Taking your suggestion. I added a different back to replace the gradient.
Thank you.

Amazing work, and love the Greek and Roman Gods and Goddess. The shading is fantastic, and your use of scrolling is great. I can see myself entering a garden to look at this temple. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Something simple, sweet, and actually easy and pleasurable to view... nice work author!

why yr image is removed from competition many times....???

I am new to this website and did not understand the depth of the rules. I am also new to entering contests. I'm a beginner using Photoshop, completely self taught. Entering contest is something I had never tried before.

Yes the image was removed multiple times by the mods. I had to supply proof of purchase for other images used, an SBS guide and there was an issue with a brush and crediting an author.

I'm still a bit confused over all of it as I see many entries that do not have the requirements I needed to provide. But, I will understand in time with the wonderful help of the Mods in the forum.

The most important point is I am having a wonderful time and very much enjoying this website.

Thank you for asking.
