niceee.... pattern, realistic

I like the richness of the texture here. I would like it better compositionally if it was not centered, but that's a personal call.

@pingenvy i agree with u, but this is a kaleidoscope and everything is built on the idea of symmetry

very pretty construction and great idea.. GOOD LUCK!!

I really like this, good luck

Even if the train were at the correct angle, it's wider than the aqueduct, and there are no tracks...

i tried but i wasnt able to add tracks

pls make USEFULL commentS,

Author you should try change the angle of the train, it looks like its placed wron.. if u turn the angle further hes about to fall of if you turn it the other way then u may get it straight. Also I would make the train smaller so it would fit on the edge of the wall. Pehaps you will be able to create your own trackes with just drawing lines and plank images. I like the black n white setting u have made here, also where does the grass/plants, the sky and the moon sources come from? I dont see them listed. If you created them yourself please do show in your step by step

Author, the kind of feedback I gave you should be very useful.

the bridge n train's perspective not right, improve on the contrast, now alittle flat (not much tonal changes)

not u CMYK there was sm1 else cmnted, sorry

i used brush for the moon and stars, i dnt remember the site, was long ago. search u ll find it...

except the train and brdg evrything else is brush

VE DONE WITH THE SOURCE URL, IS THERE ANOTHER PROBLEM?

u changed train source but u didn't changed the train )

man go to Flickr.com find a train and replace the one in your drawing, http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/

is there any prblm now?

thanks for d link

Much improved from what you originally uploaded. Listening to the critiques offered will often help you improve your entry, so don't take them as an attack, take them in the spirit they are offered, which is to help you.

finally u got it right this time. Good luck!

Interesting shape, but i have a little trouble 'reading' the image. I don't make the connection with 'space'. It's more like some glass jewel to me.

It does sort of look like a glowing gem, lol. I'm going to stick with space aquaduct though lol, since nobody knows what a space aquaduct looks like haha. Thanks for the comment. Maybe I will add some stars or some sort of element that will better make the connection with space.

The shadow on the ground does not correspond to the shadow on the sides of the aquaduct arch, and it is too light in color. Too visually disconcerting.
Really interesting concept. Just need to tighten the execution a bit.

The black shadows are obviously pasted on, they're bigger than the surface they're on, and they don't correspond to the shape of the gate.

OK, thanks for constructive criticism although the non-corresponding of the black shadows WAS intentional

it was changed and the shadow on the ground also was blacked to be less visually disconcerting

Author, the shadow is better, but no shadow is 100% black. If you lower the shadow opacity you could have something here. GL.

again, i considered the pure black to be arty kinda thing

but it was changed i think for the better, general burn"n"dodge was applied as well

MUCH improved, more visually consistent now, which makes for a more enjoyable appreciation of the piece.
Author, you will find that pure black, like pure white, is seldom an effective "arty kinda thing," because being extremes, they tend to dominate an image, so *in general*, you want to have them visually consistent to fit the visual dominance they will exert, which the shadow now effectively does.

LOL...now that all that stuff is out of the way, I'd like to point out that the light source is from the upper right, so the shadow is completely opposite the light source.

i see where your coming from on that, but on the source picture of the desert the shadows of the tree are extending to the right, so i went with that,

thanks for all the help gold hands for all!!
