Very Mysterious! As Drivenlush said, "I really want to know what's in the box?" Great execution author!

Very, very pretty work, author!

so mystical, good luck!

It is a bit dark, but I really like the feel of this image. Real nice job using the source image in this way.

Too cool execution author...Very very well done!

Tree reflection is too blurred compared to swan reflections, but this is still a nice piece of work...GL author.

cool work, author! best of luck to you!

oooooo I really wanna know what's in the box!!! great mystery piece

Congrats

Way too heavy on the vignette effect - it's so dark around the edges that you lose a lot of the effect you are going for. It is also so dark that the lighting of the box makes no sense.

congratulations!!! this is wonderful!

Congrats!!

W_O_W!

IMHO one of the best entry's in the competition...very powerful image...best of luck author

Beautiful scene author...Very moody and mystical....best of luck

Powerful image with convincing lighting. Nice job!

Fabulous!!

don't know but i've this it before! wonderful image!

Wow! This is so impressive! Apart of loneliness it also invokes a feeling of awe.

beautiful!

Well done. IMO the reflections of cliffs and Taj should be bumped up towards the waters edge more, as you would not see that much of the reflection. Maybe a tad ripple in water near bends in structure. Love the depth and lighting! GL Author!

I like the changes, much more subtle and has a nice tranquil feeling.

This is a beautiful shot. Agree with spaceranger about the reflection. It would also be really effective if you lowered the opacity of the reflection too. It would give this a more subtle, realistic look to the whole image. Nice job!!

EDIT: Looks

I love the Taj Mahal it's one of the most beautiful structures ever created. I like the color of your image. I do feel the reflection is a bit too uniform and rippled, might look better if it were a little less so since the water itself is so placid IMHO.

You could transform the lamps just a bit , so that those in the foreground appear bigger, but Make Sure you Don't split the image with them. Splitting image = failed composition.
Also make the far distance foggy, so that you can't perceive horizon, but just image it. Check works of ponti & arca if you don't understand what i mean. I usually do it with some scatter common brush on a layer which I gaussian blur. But internet has many tutorials, try them.
Last tip: since all your elements are vertical, image might be plain - try to tilt the snowfall, a few degrees.
You're doing good, and you're also the only guy with warm mood!

From the angle at which the lamps are shot, I don't see what you can do about the perspective issue.

well done!
