The sun in the sky background does not match the lighting on the wall and the warrior, but a good blend of images.

You should try to add some higher shadows at the walls since the light is intense from right.

like the atmosphere

I really like this one!!!

Good luck

Congrats!

Thank you for voting on my contest entry

Very nice atmosphere and very good composition! The bird's shadow could do with a little more tweaking, maybe fade it slightly with a layer mask as the shadow progresses. But it's a very good first entry, and welcome to the site

Edit: Also, if you use your own photos, you need to show the unedited form in your step by step guide. Add a guide by going to My Stuff -> My Contest Entries and adding a guide

Good luck

Thanks Ponti for your comments and suggestions.
About the step by step part i ll surely do that

Cheers!

PS yes i realized after uploading that i did go wrong with the shadow.a bit impatient as i am.

Beautiful image, Author. Love the idea and mood. Would be much better if you add high res

very very nice mood author...best of luck

This is very nice. I could see it as a wall hanging actually

Reflection doesn't match the piece...

Agree with erikuri but a nice effort....

You CBR'd the source. Not crazy about entries where I have to go to the SBS to find the source image used.

@jawshoewhah: may I ask you what CBR means? I really don't know this term.

Congrats for your second place, Langstrum!

Congrats!

Congratulations for 2nd

Thank you Lelaina, demi, RichieMB. Finally, my monster can take a good place for dreaming

Congrats on 2nd place!!!!!!

Congrats!

CBR=Chopped Beyond Recognition and what I mean by that is you could have made this out of anything.

congrats, you have quite an imagination!

sloppy work in high res.. fix your cloning! i don't know if you wanted to keep the red outline on the clothes, if so, it needs more attention. the sabre outline also has remains of that red, you might wanna remove that too

I agree...

nice idea
