The arch connecting the two pieces of land, doesn't need to be there. It simply doesn't fit in the image. What is that large piece of rock falling from the waterfall???
I would suggest you remove both of those items. Good Luck.

Don't know why but I just really like waterfalls off the landscape in this contest! Great job author and looks like a tremendous effort... keep up the great work!

I really like this entry with the waterfall.... I gave it a high score (lol... my vote don't mean much) but something about the formation under the waterfall... needs something... so it doesn't seem out of place???

Great work author! I miss a better perspective work in the palace at the center of the image...
The castle works perfectly giving an exagerated lens distorsion in the upper part, but the palace seems very flat in comparison.
Anyway its just my opinion. Nice work!

Author, you may have to reduce the size (especially if it surpasses 20 inches no matter the dpi) If you put the resolution at about 300dpi you can resize the inches so it stays within the 5mb limit) Good luck!!!

Light on castle is from left. Light on tree is from right. It's always good to pay attention to light sources.

The "waterfalls" look like dirt more than water, and don't smoothly blend at the top with the island.

The changes you've made really improve the image. While there is some distortion at the wheel level it works for me, looks almost like it was shot with a wide angle lens. New background accents the color nicely.

I like the rims too but the wheels aren't round, they're oval. That would make for a bumpy ride.

Nice concept & design.
You should check Arca's article about composition in the new PXL Magazine issue ( you'll find it on the forum).
Your vase+ flowers+ picture, cut the image in half- which is not that nice.
There are also vids on youtube about composition and those would help a lot too.

I love the work you put into this! Drawback, reflection in pond is wrong, like the DOF!

Try to blend your reflection with the source's reflection by using lower opacity in your reflection layer. Also with a soft brush with low opacity you can erase parts of your reflection for a better result.

This made me laugh. Try duplicating the middle dog figure and flipping it and lowering the opacity on 'multiply' mode...this will give you a reflection that I think you might need.

would truly love this f the fish were a more orangish color, it blends in too much with the background, this is fantastically executed though lol..

author, it would be a good Idea to take the original pic and place the bikini back over the manipulation.. the blur factor is very distracting and takes away from the work you've done.. but as always.. it's just IMHO

(do the same with any blurred edges.. you'll really get great results) good luck

I like your thinking and idea here. Perhaps if you give the top area of film where it curls some lightness...brighter. If you gradually make the inside of the curl darker it'll give the image some depth...which I think is why for some it may seem chaotic. Nice work, author!

There's just as much yellow in the background as in the foreground. Yellow doesn't work well in a simulated night scene as described in the contest description, but if you want yellow lights in the background, the foreground should be more blue.
