Nice job on the sky! I would have placed the plane & geese higher, but that's just me.
Edit: The change looks much better!

I agree

'prociate it! He just took off from the valley floor to the left.

Very beautiful and dramatic scene. It reminds me of a documentary I saw in Japan about the cranes - how the men feed them when they are chicks, and how the men teach them how to fly away, using a plane.

its beautiful

this is wonderful, love it

Great painting of the sunset sky, you captured the mood beautifully.

i love the sky...great work author ....GL

very very nice work author...good luck

This is very nice! Well done work, and GL!...

Nicely creepy. Not sure how big bird would fit inside the frame if it stayed in bounds. I think stronger big-bird beak shadow is warranted and little bird has virtually no shadow at all which makes it appear fake and floating.

Nice work but shadows could do with a tweak

nice lighting!

Very moody work...good luck

great idea, author! as others said, you can slightly fix the shadows and it will be perfect good luck

I like this - very atmospheric. good luck

Thanks a lot for the all coments...

Very cool!

this is great( waiting for sbs)

nice!

Wonderful! Your colorful version on sbs is also superb!...

Very lovely, and very clear as to how yiou made the image!

yes your hard work is clearly depicted by the awesome image...

great work....

Nice work . IMO there is no need for one falling leave, which is giving impression of autumn season

I think I liked the coloured version of the birds in the SBS better than the blue. IMO - Good word author

THANKS A LOT TO ALL OF U MY FRIENDS-tuckinator, erikuri, disco, ankitsuhail, nasir and itgik............and nasir thnks for suggesting tht the falling leaf was indeed not needed i have edited it.....and also thanks to all who voted for my creation.....

I'm not a big fan of the background personally, but the birds are great. You have done a wonderful job on the shading.

RayTedwell i changed the background......hope this colorful texture is upto your liking friends......if u guys like the blue texture do let me know....its in my sbs

yeah this looks much better.... good work..

It's a little on the CBR'd side but still a nice image.

CBR=Chopped Beyond Recognition

Dreamy!

Bela imagem, tio! Só que a árvore do lado oposto ao da garota está meio transparente, o campo aparece através dela.

Nice mood Author, good luck

I love the image here except the foreground trees are a bit digitized and the one on the left is transparent. The look good as mostly silhouette but the should be sharper on the edges like the balcony.

Where's the light source in this ? Determine where the light source is and than create shadows according to the source on all objects. Good luck!

very nice work author...good luck

I think this is the best chop I've ever seen from you author! GL!

I love the feeling of this picture, but I wonder why the tree to the left is transperent?

Creative in a Rorschach-test kind of way. Instead of duplicating the bird, why not find a flower in the lower half of the source and make it a 'hummingbird finding nectar' plaque?

.................

wow, your cloning skills need some "brushing up" lol... looks good, but its really patchy! try masking in a new wooden texture, instead of this one.

agrees with bbdesign

congrats on 5th place...
