...your texture...is way too heavy. looses the detail in what you are trying to portray here, not to mention, makes it hard to see what exactly you did with blending the "desert" to the "daffodils" . there is a "mood" element to it, but because of this heavy overlay it makes it entirely too distracting. also, your "rain" layer could be softened a little bit.
i hope you don't take this wrong, because i'm only trying to help your vision along...i haven't voted, but i'm sure who you are so i think you'll take my critique the way it is intended.

Thanks a lot Jade ! Working on it

EDIT : Updated. Hope its better. Thanks again

now is way better author...mood stands up now and there is no distractions...love the final product...best of luck

Congrats for your third place!

Congrats on third place!

GO WEST!!! pet shop boys.. hehehe..

I think if you move move the gate over to the left a little more and lighter the tree shadow it will look much better. Imo it feels like something is missing but I can't put my finger on it. Overal it is a well thought out entry. gl

I agree about the tree shadow. Maybe give it a gaussion blur and bring the opacity down. I'm a little confused at the clouds that follow the steps to the right? Also, I would get rid of the top guy that looks exactly like the bottom guy. Fix those and this will be very nice!

Thanks for the advice, it was taken on board

I agree with the shadow, but instead of lowering the opacity the shadow should be broken up with the texture of a cloud. I would also finish masking the arch way and soften the edge of the "mountain" on the right side. Great entry. Good luck!

The brightness of the right front of the tree seems inconsistent with a light source coming from behind the tree. There's an inexplicable notch in the right railing near the top. (Using the Clouds filter to create a mask for the tree shadow might help 'wispify' it.)

This looks great

not to many people getting into heaven lol... nice work author

lol @Keiley22 I wish I could favorite your comment

beautiful ....

Very nice job, only thing that I think of is that the person further up and away is taller than the stair, with perspective in mind, that person must be huge comparing to the person standing closest to us. IMO...Otherwise - really nice job!

sunzet, you are very correct, thanks for the notice ill change it

GL

Not looking too much like a city.. but i think it looks great. try darkening the base of the cathedral just to help it blend a little better. G'luck!

Beautiful colours and so nicely done image!

Nicely done.

you did a great job, but it looks a little creepy for heaven
