I think the gap in the mist where the woman is, actually spoils the work that's gone into it...as it stands now...

the front hand needs to be blended in more at the bottom as you can still see the straight line, I'd also push the temple thing on the left further into the BG as your composition is leading your eye over to the right.

I really like this one author, nice work. My only suggestion is that the castle on the left probably looks a little too crisp given the foggy atmosphere, and draws the eye a bit too much, maybe just dull/blur it a lil bit.

You did almost a perfect job. The only point in this picture that i dont like are the angels. You can see the cut outs and i can see that you duplicated the second one. But if i take a look at the whole picture, i only can say that you did a wonderfull job. For now you are my favorite to win this contest.

CASTLE

JamesD says:

I like it!! but my advice would be this -

the harsh light from the sun, (right of the castle)... would mean that it have more shade than the objects in front due to the fall off of the sun.... the objects in the foreground would benefit from ambient and bounced light... so you would see more detail. Of course moving the sun more to the right would justify the illumination of the right hand side of the castle.

I think you could construct a base for the angels to sit on, as they still look cut out... and redifine where the highlight and shadows are especially as they look they have just been copied and mirrored across...
drawing a triangle out from the sun should help you roughly determine where the light would most likely hit the other objects...

front pillars are feathered a little more than they need to be (inside edges) and are far too dark compared to everything else re the suns fall-off

The man also needs to look more 'grounded' as he too looks pasted into the scene.

But even still I think it's one of the best entries thus far so GL whatever you decide to do...

Try to fix the horse shadows...light is from right, shadows would be toward the left. Also darken the edge of the pillar at right, since it would be in shadow.

Very nice! My only nit pick would be, the shadows behind the entry pillars, could be a little darker to define them a little more. Theres one spot that it looks like it blends in with the flowers. Otherwise, keep up the good work!
