It's very nice! But I can't really see the horse. You should put it on the bridge. GL

It's going to be bumpy when that horse comes down the steps, assuming it's going to cross the bridge.

Blend in that long tree root or hide it sooner and this will be great!

Very sweet composition and lovely atmosphere! I especially like the butterfly in the front and the tree. Good luck!

The image looks beautiful and lively, the only part i don;t like is the signpost, maybe because it needs a shadow. I also think your sky look too green, if you just wanted to change the trees you could try channel masking (http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_2fwks.htm) that's a tutorial explaining how to do that. Good luck!

It is early hours of dawn. Yet there is not much light.If I change the hue of the sky, I think that would affect the rest of the image.The signpost has lighting effects, and can be improved, no doubt.It is my opinion,respect theirs and appreciate your comments.Thanks.

wow ,it looks so peaceful and calm.love the overall effect.

I actually like the blue and green contrast in the sky area...the water color doesn't really fit the scene to me...the sign kinda detracts from the image. The image would be really nice without it in my opinion. That's just me. Good job and good luck, author!

Haha! But there is no grass! Very peaceful. Try to rotate the sign a little bit. Good Luck

I attend their suggestions.I hope more like it.

I like it, has a strange feeling

Well put together! Good job!

I love this (Though the costume she is wearing really makes her feet look weird in the manipulation... maybe use real feet or define them a bit.. (I had to look at the SBS/Source to figure out what they were.. just a suggestion.. otherwise very weird and very wonderfully funny.. GOOD LUCK awesome

EDIT: hehehe

good work on woman,petty about the feet everything else is quiet nice.

Golem.This is not naked snail (slug)! Hehehehe.

Snails shouldn't have clothes.....just slime...lol.... Nicely done!

Love IT.. great choice of extra source... blends in perfectly

Good use of source, it looks very nice.

great idea

Oh, they are so sweet

congrats!!

What an absolutely stunning image.. though you really need to add a STEP BY STEP... this is too good not to share your process.. good JOB!!! and Good Luck

Absolutely Awesome Entry......... I have seen it in PST.......Good Luck Author.

Incredible, when i look at this picture i can' t believe that a software or something technical is involved on his creation. Is only feeling. Congratulations, no need to see the other entries, this is the best.

Have seen this one before? Nice, I can't remember which contest, I've seen it in, or was it just close to something else?

Very impressive work. Beautiful and stunning image, my fav too..

sbs would be nice.

Lovely to see this again...great blend, excellent mood & color!

very nice mood

Thanks guys for your gracious comments. I would loved to have provided a sbs, but the computer I originally did this on is not in service at the moment. It is basically a cut and paste, with a lot of attention to the blending. I believe the sepia effect is from a gradient map or from hue/saturation. Kinda hard to remember without viewing the layers. Thanks again!

Cool

I am speechless.Dont know how long I stared at this.

Aaaaah... so good to see it back! Good luck with this almost magical picture again

EXCELLENT...GREAT SHOP WORK....WAIT- BETTER THAN GREAT!I know a few photographers that would like to have you in their studios! VERY very well done.

Great mood and blending!

Wonderful picture!! You changed the kids it since the last time right? Again I think that the masking of the tree on the right is a lil irregular but it's just silly whinings

hahahaha cool feel
