I like the windmills, good job.

It looks ok, except that :
1. At the beginning of the river, the water should be flat, not following the form of the book.
2. Since you have a path, that croses the river, you could add a bridge over it, too.
3. You could also try to keep edges to the pages so that the grass is not entirely covering them.
4. The original tutorial is this :

made by Johnson Koh - check it out.
Cheers.

Very nice work author...In high resolution river don't look good at all,it look like some mix of green white mess...so maybe would be better without...also u could use some color adjustment layers to achieve better blending and to pop u entry...if u decide to do that PM me to give u some advices about that...any how image is very nice...gl

Thanks erathion for your kind help. May it looks better now.

Author I agree that is a good tutorial Very nice work and Best of Luck

Good idea, but a bit too desaturated.

Actually, I didn't desaturate it at all...I actually INCREASED the yellows and cyans.

It's a jungle, not the middle of a desert...

I've lightened the overall image 5%, for those who may have darker monitor resolutions.

My nontechnical reaction is "blah." In your source pic, the cabin and its immediate environment are brighter/more-attention-grabbing (have a higher dynamic range) than anything in this image. Everything here is uniformly dark with no brighter portion to capture the viewer's attention.

Thank you, Dan and Nator. Your comments give me a direction to aim for as to how to correct and improve the image.

Woooowwww...very good with crops and nice choice to the new background. I think this give value to the final art.

is that a shed made of wood and gold ? must be expensive then,....oh well I want just to live there......LOL.....
