Good image over all...minimal use of source...could even have been done without it.

thanks.

(...except for lions and coyotes) Just a suggestion, but why not put more of the tree source in the image? Another on the left somewhere would give your image more balance and less judged as minimal source. I was thinking it was minimal use too. I think your lions are a wee bit bright and the coyote, well it looks huge, considering where he is in the image.

Thanks for you comment. I was also thinking that something is missing. I ve added one more tree and worked a bit more on lions and wolf. It looks better now i think.

Lovely chop! Tiny details... the left lion's main fades into nothing instead of blending, and there are tiny little blends that could be done to make 100% integrated. Bits of shadow, blend between lines etc. every so slight. Great composition though! One thing... the wolf should be quite a bit smaller as it's off in the distance in the landscape. Great Mood!

very nice

I was going to say something about the lion's mane but didn't want to overwhelm you. You did a great job with the left tree. I was hoping you weren't going to make it look anything like the one on the right and you did well. Now just either bring the coyote closer or resize him, fix your slight blurred edges on the lion and I think you'll have a strong contender!

worked a bit more on lion and wolf. Hope it's better now

I think your chop was the best at step 8. Just step 8 is a powerful image. The animals and such just made it too much. The other tree on the left is good there though.

The coyote looks much better. The lion's main may need a wee bit more work but overall it's a good image now and I'd glad I could help. Good luck to you

beautiful,very good
