The blue moon, is just a circular selection, filled with a gradient - Filter - Difference Clouds - Spherize, and colorized. There is no link or photo for this, as for the stars...they are just painted with a small brush and white color. No link for them either. I will add a SBS for this.

SBS added!

Congrats George!!

Thanks Rein!

Quite convinving result, author! Good luck!

Nice idea, maybe a biiiiit lighter here and there (ie by adding some light sources?) would have been nice. Good luck!

It's really dark!

it is very dark, maybe you could add a hi res to it, that might help me see it. is there someone/something in the foreground enjoying the view? i can't tell, but do not readily see anything there.

Pretty good masking, but the top of the tower is cut off.

does have the epic feel Reminds me of Anne Boleyn

Pretty image, I love the settings and colors. Good luck! I think, it is one of your best entries... good luck!

Very much in the spirit of the contest! May I make a small nit pick? The light on the apples is from our right, so IMO the highlight on the lettering would be from the right also. Having said that, it's a lovely image.

And again! Congrats!

Thanks!

Congrats yet again Cheryl!!
