The edge of her left leg needs refining.

Check the layer masking all the way around, the black background makes the lighter edges show.

Alright I fixed it to my best ability, thanks for the advice.

i love your fire. how did you do it ?

I really like the end result, and in hi-res is it great too.

Thank you

No wonder he's fallen...his wings are all stumpy & malformed.

I hope you mean it in a good way

HEY.. it's Luke Skywalker under Cloud City! (what the image reminded of) good luck author, and good job

I'd give the swing seats some thickness, otherwise it's a nice job.

Congratulations!

Disturbing and really well done, author. Too bad you don't have a high res version to view. I'm sad...I like looking at the high res version.

wow, looks really good, how did you find that man in that pose to fit him in.

There's a masking problem on the sky, I think a layer got out of place ( left side of the image right above where the wing finishes). It's pretty obvious actually even in low res.
Besides that, you have a nice entry with a good mood and a nice compositional triangle: sun in the clouds, man's butt (cause of warm color contrast + taboo ) and the white feather. You could even crop from the left, and it would still look fit.

Thanks for the heads up Greymval. Didn't catch that one ! My eyes are failing me as I head towards the top of the hill. Not long before I'm over it LOL Will rectify the problem ASAP.

EDIT: fixed

@emiK I couldn't find an actual fit, that's why puppet warp in CS5 is invaluable
