The stairs still look like a horizontal walkway instead of leading either up or down.

Yea i still agree, but going back and changing that up now is time consuming :/ Ill just shoot for my best with this. I mainly reposted this entry because i was lacking source image links the first time

thanks tho!

Almost ridiculously complex.. but the end result is really quite different. A breath of fresh air i think. Good luck

Thanks!

More is less. Shadow of left railing onto steps not reflected in lighting of woman. Pathway to castle disconcertingly seems to converge to nothing before reaching the castle. Far side of grassy berm on left could have a stronger edge. Mountains and moon background seems fake and at odds with the realistic foreground.

very nice author,lots of work is made here...best of luck

Thanks for the imput DanLundberg i edited a few things.

i dont see where in your sbs you have permission from this guy to use his picture outside of deviantart. Nor any kind of reference letting him know this picture is being used.

Read closely
This stock provider posted "As of 28th of July 08, you now have permission to use our stock OUTSIDE of DeviantART!! This is brilliant news, and I'm sure many of you agree as in the past we'd sadly turned down hundreds of requests."

Did you use enough sources???

(hey somebody wake up that fishing guy... he is going to miss that.... ) NICE WORK!

The left person looks distorted.

The mermaid's tail doesn't blend well with the body, I think.

Please fix distorted girl & blend mermaid's tail better...

Funny idea. Might want to blend and color splash to make it look as if it's coming from THIS body of water. Also, the water below the splash is rather calm.

nice concept. You may like to explore more skills to develop your entry. tutorials on how to make mermaid tails: add warp and liquify to shape better. Clone tool to extend the tail more onto the body. etc

nice idea. The chop of tail of the mermaid needs some work. Better work with layer masks, that way things can be corrected very easily. (I just suppose you didn't)

Very good, but I've seen this idea before on Worth1000, never the less...nicely done...

Incredibly imaginative use of source, the image feels warm and magical, and you chose the perfect sources for the job! Good luck and GRRREAT IMAGE!!
