I think there are a few problems with lighting and implicitly with the shadows.. see the big rock formation in the lower left corner of the image ? well at the top of this formation there is a shadow that clearly puts your light source somewhere center-right over your image's top margin thus contradicting your choice in moving that cloud formation whose well lit margins indicate that they are concealing another light source of an opposite orientation ( look at the rock on the beach in the source image ). Also taking this into consideration there might be some things to ponder as to who's shadowing who regarding the close vicinity of the castle and ( or on itself ) the rock formation close-by. That's just my two cents regarding tweaking to perfection.. other then that it is a good composition and it had a nice feel to it.

loving it.. if the poster were real i think it ( and the male lead ) would be responsible for a box-office hit !

p.s. : "all material not suited for anyone" ..rofl

now that's a knockout.. good job !

maybe some perspective to the background before aplying CMYK46's tip would help also, other than that i really like it. good job.

Good job, cute bird indeed. I only have one constructive remark to make.. would have loved it even more if the transition "new body - to - old legs" would have been smoother and/or if the legs would have been placed a bit more to the front. Other than that, interresting approach . Keep up the good work !
