Author.. you get better every single week! AMAZING!!!

I'm liking this a lot, nice mood, good composition.

Thanks a lot for your encouraging comments people. @ponti55, if I've been getting better, it's not thanks only to my efforts, but also thanks to comments, suggestions and support from PXLEyes people Thanks @annabat. I tried not to fall back on DA stock Glad you've liked it...

Very surreal and well chopped. GL!

Thanks for not relying on DA stock, author !

May I ask what's the problem with DA stock?

alot of people think its bad to use DA because they think all the hard work is already done for you I don't mind DA images so long as something about them is changed not just cut and pasted

i'm confused ... how does ponti55 know that 'author' is getting better every week if "Participants (are) hidden until contests end" ... ???

Great image!!!

pretty awesome!

thanks for the explanation -- didn't know that was an option ... nice job, btw

Very nice work.I am big fan of DA images.Yes its true that they very good made,but without imagination and lots of work,no one can guaratee final result...good luck author,this is very nice work...

Snake's a nice touch! Really like this one!

I'm not a fan of using anyone else's images if I can help it. Unfortunately I don't have photographs of snakes and marble columned doors stored in my camera to use. But I can easily use my own images of grass, birds and maybe even mushrooms.What I don't understand is what's the difference between DA images and images from any other source, like flickr creative commons. Why is DA always attacked here? I really like this image. Particularly fond of the placement of the snake. It just makes so much sense to me.

Beautiful work author.....infact a lot of hard work...and a lot of improvement in your work as well....

Snakes symbolize rebirth among other things. Mushrooms were used for opening the perception gates. You can make out the rest There is a poisonous mushroom in the picture (the red one), warning of the danger of opening such gates....

Stunning!

The snake is cool
