superb!!

great shot of a wonderful carving. What is the history of the carving.

don't worry, they probably wouldn't have let you use the tripod, even if you had one with you.

good..nice work...

Lovely image, well done!

Nice tie dye effect. I hope the asymmetry is considered on theme. GL author.

Nice one

What an amazing door, shame we loose detail and light at the bottom.

Pretty cool, author. Nice details, just enough.

What a wonderful job you've done with the faceted stone on the end! The odd grayish streaks inside of it are a bit visually confusing and artificial, but the overall creation of this piece is very realistic looking.

I love the gloss on the top of the head in the detail photo! The tongue looks a bit odd with the vertical alignment and the shape of it (a single tongue with a forked end would look more "natural" ), but this is a truly unique construction. Nice work!

Looks pretty cool, more like a scepter though. I guess that will work too.

Great concept, but the cane looks like it is behind the stone, rather than coming out from the top of it.
The "fog" is a bit too heavy for the image, and is distracting, making the columns more dominant that your focal point, the cane.
The rounded baseboard where the wall meets the floor is a bit too large and prominent, even with the heavy fog...

The texture of the columns is beautiful, and the video SBS is very well done, except for the end, which shows too much menu, and not enough of the image you've made.

Overall, this is a good render, it just needs a bit of tweaking to be outstanding.

They only look mean... really you can walk right up to them and pet them and walk them and feed them.

Wonderful place, I would have loved to have some sunshine when we were there.

Nice Congrats

Hey they;re not all that mean after all. Watch this for a change http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/29/man-and-crocodile-chito-a_n_742427.html. Well captured, author.

great shot. where did you find this beauty?

you said it all kyricom.

Those look like some big boys...I wonder who's job it was to put that Christmas wreath there. "Hey Sam... You've been coming in late a lot lately. Take this wreath out there!"

Nice one!

Well done!

Congrats

Nice Job Congrats

Lovely words you added to a lovely work, best of luck author!

Lol - love it!

Great job, love the textures used and the camera angle. How long did that take to render? GL

Very interesting "cover" of the building. The smoke seems a bit too thick and solid, but otherwise a good render.

wow that's so cool. i really can feel the swirl wehen i look in

Simple, yet effective.

Beautiful work of Art author! Well done and best of luck!

Oh man!!! This is not so good! I hope you are feeling better now!

Yeuch...looks really sore!

HEY IT'S THE POD FROM STARWARS!!! Great work

It hurts just looking at it.

Wow... I've heard of folks with thumb sucking problems... but THIS is really extreme!

OUCH!!! I know someone that got that same thing by boiling schroom in oil and it was burning and he tried to take it outside and tripped over the exercise trampoline! It looked just like this! NEVER drop hot stuff on your hand... or any skin! LOL

That's one you'll want to photograph regularly as it heals...You have my deepest sympathies over that!

Awesome shot!

The moon reflection doesn't seem so real to me, the rest looks great. I like the highlights on the flag, good luck!

My favorite!

I agree with everything friiskiwi said.....nice!

The too-bright lights on the flag are very distracting and inconsistent with the rest of the image.

You additionally have the flag lit too strongly from the top, while the rest of your scene is being lit with a far softer light source from the RH side...The spyglass is placed within a shadow, and should not be showing any real highlights at all...

But they are so yummy! Great shot!

I really like this one, nice framing and DOF

Fluffy go By By very neat!

nice blur, increase the distance perception, GL!

it's a very good idea ... but I guess you didn't look to the original picture first ...
but the over all design is good
Good Luck

It would have looked better if the doorways were open or had handles. This way just looks like the staircases all run up to solid walls...

I think your texture scaling combined with the odd shape may be why it looks so fake... I have an entire fireplace wall done with that type of brick, so I am familiar with the texture.

It's called "rake brick" because of the texture pattern.
Here are a couple of photoa of how the real thing looks:
