Well, this one took me quite a long time.. But it was quite simple to make..
I gave the stair a right side by copying and then transorming into shape..
I then took the gate and cut that out using the pen tool, did the same for the mountain.
I put it all together and at the end added some clounds and people which I cut out using the quick selection tool.
I also added a tree but I'm sorry but I cannot find the link to the image anymore..
Hope you like it and Thanks to asifthebes for images 1 and 2. (5 years and 3443 days ago)

I think if you move move the gate over to the left a little more and lighter the tree shadow it will look much better. Imo it feels like something is missing but I can't put my finger on it. Overal it is a well thought out entry. gl

I agree about the tree shadow. Maybe give it a gaussion blur and bring the opacity down. I'm a little confused at the clouds that follow the steps to the right? Also, I would get rid of the top guy that looks exactly like the bottom guy. Fix those and this will be very nice!

Thanks for the advice, it was taken on board

I agree with the shadow, but instead of lowering the opacity the shadow should be broken up with the texture of a cloud. I would also finish masking the arch way and soften the edge of the "mountain" on the right side. Great entry. Good luck!

The brightness of the right front of the tree seems inconsistent with a light source coming from behind the tree. There's an inexplicable notch in the right railing near the top. (Using the Clouds filter to create a mask for the tree shadow might help 'wispify' it.)

Very nice job, only thing that I think of is that the person further up and away is taller than the stair, with perspective in mind, that person must be huge comparing to the person standing closest to us. IMO...Otherwise - really nice job!

author says:

sunzet, you are very correct, thanks for the notice ill change it
