Looks great,, try soiftening those shadows a little.. good otherwise

Well I have to scrap the one that i was working on it is similar to this. That is the calico ghost town school house, isnt it? Ive been there before.

vapaholic, so we think alike...please do post your entry, interseting to see how you would do it

Shadows are wrong...look at the chimney.

Looks like the orange truck is out of scale, otherwise everything else is great!

Very interesting image just a few things to clean up, just above the truck there is a corner of the barrel image, just to the right of the blue can there is a odd circle

Would be interesting to see 'high res'.

very nice feel

Thanks madamemonty for catching those. You have a goood eye. Also I put in the high resolution shot. Thanks also CMYK46 but don't think I am good enough to change the truck now.

another thing you could maybe fix is the orange colorcast on the water you don't have to remove it just desaturate it a litle it will make it fit with the whole stormy weather feel

You've still missed one corner of the barrel image, it's just above the tree line

floods stink....yeah yeah...floods stink -- your picture doesn't though

I tried what you said slayyou hope I got close thanks. I got it agin madamemonty. This will make me check more closely the next time thanks.

I like it, but some of the objects' colours don't match with the rest of the image, but i know it's too late to change. Good luck!

Congrats for your first place, Norman!

Congrats, really nice job

Congratulations for 1st

Congrats Norman!

Congrats!

Congrats!

congratulations on your win

Nice idea and good source choice, the step 3 of the SBS looks better for me, the final image is too bluish

I think the color cast is a matter of preference...either version could work for me...this one seems like early morning, the other mid-day. Good blend, author!

Nice. There's something grayish half transparent on the right edge under the bridge. Good luck.

Thanks for your keen eye Palaekman. Looks like a part of the original bridge that I didnt mask off right.

Nice result, I believe this. Good luck!

seems to me your blending skills are just fine good luck!

Hey author...you're creepin' me out here. Nice work. Especially like the dramatic lighting.

Maybe add some lightning to the "eye berrys" so it match up with the rest. Its a very nice image. Good luck!

SBS doesn't show how you made the eyes...

the eye was illustrated. see the recently added step 8

Very creative and good look!
