this is very gloomy but cool

higher contrast could be better, but gl

Good mood, but the building has no clear foundation, it just sort of melts into the ground.

Unless it was a sand desert, CMYK is right about building's foundation.

i agree with bob about building,but maybe is that idea author...u created great image here with fabulous mood and great colors...Lama is perfect touch...well done

I really like this...nice!

Very creative and original idea......love the colors and the panoramic view, the only thing that dose not work for me personally is the superimposed rain drops. Overall great image!!

very different

nice different approach...well done

nicely executed, i'd personally prefer something non symmetrical but the work you put in really shows..cheers

High resolution is fantastic!

Definitely have to view in high res to appreciate.

lighting clashes between the skeleton, tower and sand. The shadow the fish is casting is also incorrect. I'm not too sure what that spike is beneath the fish either... you should upload a high res version so it can be seen better.

its surealism ponti , the fish is not casting any shadow, the grain and the overall color composition for me is the title "nightmare fishing" , i apreciate your comment.

i love surealism images some of my favourites are ones with shadows, they just dont match the object they come from ;p maybe give that a go too...

Surrealistic or not, lighting is a basic principle in all images... it may never be 100% right but something as simple as flipping the tower would improve your image. If you'd like to go into more depth then i also suggest trying to make the strong dark shadow from the original source much softer and brighter to fit in with the surroundings. (look at how soft the shadows on the sand are)

um, not bad

cool idea....gl

not bad, maybe blur the shadows a little

Very creative idea, I do have a couple of suggestion for improvements......The two men and the bench are to sharp compared to the source. The shadows are to small and not dark enough IMO and facing in the wrong direction, if you refer back to the original source (stone border) you will see what direction your shadow should be......it’s a great effort keep up the good work!

cool 1

thanks Warlock. i will work on the things you said.

edit: Warlock, I changed the shade of the shadows and made them half as big as the guys (the shadows of the rocks are about half the rock) and i applied the images of the guys so they look a bit more like they should be there.

Very nice work author...i have few nit picks do...first thing,elephant have to be a bit bigger,and u will achieve better blending if u use some color layers.With color like this my recommendation would be dark brown color layer with low opacity and maybe blue-gray soft light or color layer with very low opacity...just an idea...good luck

erathion, didnt get home in time to do any work on this. but i am using almost exactly the layers just like you say! i have a brown layer (leaning toward red just a hair) and a blue grayish layer. the elephant is just an optical illusion, i actually looked it up and did the math based on the original rocks at the dirt road and based on the step in the elephant image. then i used that to size the men using vanishing points.
