Very nice mood! Just a few suggestions; Rotate the sky, so that its parallel to the horizon. The castle has a strange corner in the middle, is it supposed to be straight or a real corner? The border of trees and stones on the lower part of the castle is to much blurred. Try to make that sharper. IMO that would make it really nice!
Fantastic work author,really really fabulous mood.I have one nit pick,if u look at the bridge,castle is huge...Maybe u have to work just bit more on the proportions...any how i love this work and high votes from me...good luck
What a great scene! That's impressive at the first sign, nice mood and composition. However, after looking carefully to your image, I found out some parts are not correct. Comparing the waterfall in the first source and this one, you can see that the view angle in the source lower than the waterfall, so you can't see the top of the waterfall, but in your image, the view angle changed, now it's on the top of the waterfall, but still no water or stream on top of it can be seen (the waterfall in the bottom). The same problem with the higher waterfall, I found it suddenly appears from the land. Moreover, the light beam under the bridge should have a light source (the bridge itself can't emit the light, right, if it's not the mystical one). Hope that my suggestion can help. Good luck author

Thanks to all for your comments and specially Ressiv, erathion and langstrum for your great suggesstion and nitpicks. I will try my best to fixed them.

Blur trees/leaves below castle to blend with rest, reduce the size of castle slightly, remove top waterfall, added flying birds, rotate sky and placed horizontally, fixed lights rays. Thanks for observing very closely and pointing out problems.
Looking better now! But now I don't know where the waterfall is coming from, there's no river. Maybe a photo taken over a river, and place this above the waterfall? Try a river thats between two high cliffs, it will fit very good and fill up the hole thats under the bridge now. It would make the image complete for me. But now I'll stop nitpicking
Ah, I could bet it was your work, author! It has your touch, your style... Very beautiful, and after all corrections you made, the only thing I can say it's P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!!

Thanks Ressiv for great advice. It looks much better, once again thanks to all.
erikuri, now I have to change my style to make me anonymous ,
I could tell who made this as soon as i saw it. The only nitpick I have is the bridge. I don't think you would be able to see as much of the bottom of it from the angle your looking at it from. The angle should be from the top not the bottom.

Nice composition. Balcony shadow shows that Light source is near castle but no light source is visible. Intense light on girl left arm showing the another light source is at the left side but still balcony wall are dark. From this angle the girl should be darker as there is on light source inside balcony.
Good luck

She has your eyes . Very gorgeous drawing! Just one problem is the castle looks like a paper, too flat. You can work a bit more with the shadow to add more depth to this castle. Best of luck !
In high resolution, there are some strip lines going from top to bottom, also near castle left tower, IMO these are border from source, which need to be delete or mask. Also little black cut on the left 2 tower near window. Some black small strips at right and left tower edge.
Hide your background image and add new layer at the bottom and fill it with color to view all these remains of source.
and Author why only right tower is distorted?
Good Luck
author says:
nasirkhan, you are absolutely right!
I did this late last night and although I had the intention to distort every tower, in the end I was too tired to do it and forgot to fix the distorted one to resemble the other towers.
