It looks ok, except that :
1. At the beginning of the river, the water should be flat, not following the form of the book.
2. Since you have a path, that croses the river, you could add a bridge over it, too.
3. You could also try to keep edges to the pages so that the grass is not entirely covering them.
4. The original tutorial is this :

Very nice work author...In high resolution river don't look good at all,it look like some mix of green white mess...so maybe would be better without...also u could use some color adjustment layers to achieve better blending and to pop u entry...if u decide to do that PM me to give u some advices about that...any how image is very nice...gl

Thanks erathion for your kind help. May it looks better now.

Great work. I feel the shadow could have been worked a little better. Its a little to fat and reminds me of a bowling pin.

Congrats for your first place, Matteo!

Very well deserved - congrats!

congrats!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on a lovely, stunning image! Beautiful and happy to see it in 1st Place!

Thank you very much guys

i dont get why the corner is so sharp between the shaded and lighted areas. but on the outsides its dull. other wise love the picture. very nice..!! and good idea too

I agree with taintedhockey about the sharpness... But nice work!

author,image is very nice but the difference in the sharpness is to obvious...i am sure that final score will be better if u fix that...best of luck

Why not just make a full pyramid?
