yes, I like this much better The only thing I'm not sure about is the amount of light shining from the moon.

Looks better, but the moon looks kind of transparent. If you see the left side, where the stars overlap the moon. It should not be stars in that area...same to the right side, unless, it is kind of UFO's? This can happen you know..... good luck!

oh yes, UFOs are everywhere!!!

Thank you for the comments and taking the time to check things out. k5683, I addressed the overly bright beam from the moon when I had to make a more detailed sbs as requested by the mods, I think it is pretty balanced out now. George55, the moon isn't transparent but the outer glow allowed for that one particular star to see that way, didn't think to add a UFO to this piece,LOL. In order to get the colors to appear the way they did when I made this, I actually had to edit my entry and reupload this 6 different times. Don't know what was going on.

This has to go to my favs great job!

Would you have guts to take your lunch there

There's something wrong with the tree on the left nice mood though.

lol great idea. good luck

Looks like taken from a horror film

nice entry

so many seekers, but only one treasure - typical! good luck!

careful with the masking.. you have detail next to blur then detail.. something to consider when taking on such a grand scale piece.. you can see in the high res that the chest should look buried but it kinda looks like it just disappeared.. good concept here.. just needs a bit more attention.. good luck though

for an image like this i would remember my rule of thirds. Crop the image from the bottom and right side so that the treasure chest is in the right corner of the image. It will get the attention on people faster. At the moment to me it seems a bit lost in the image. Im not sure why you have made the sand, it looks more like smoke the way it is blurred. Nice idea though, i will hold my vote for the moment

Here is a link to explain ROT's http://www.silverlight.co.uk/tutorials/compose_expose/thirds.html

The sand is a little blurry, but nice work anyways

very nice idea, but how about cropping the image, so you see the skull and chest better? good luck

You do not have to make the sand the way you have it, it looks weird, just, as GolemAura says,,,just mask around the chest or box...or leave the chest lying on the sand..... good luck

nice idea good luck!

good

nice idea

A few tweaks and it will look great.. GL.

Good picture Author! Talking about some improvements I'd suggest in future left less clouds on the picture (there is just to much sky which taking attention away from the chest and a skull) and ofcourse blurred sand looks choppy. I believe you'll improve in your next entry! good luck
