congrats Langstrum, beautiful work

Wow, this background is new for me. It looks nice but imo it doesnt have enough connection with the Mona Lisa self (ML has a lot of dramatic shading, background is way more lighter overall & demands too much attention right now. The original ML has a way softer bg). Is there a way to keep them more together? In case you still feel like to change something, check the other paintings by Vermeer and most of all, check the terrific use of light that he could create (very softly gradients). Good luck!

Congrats on your 1st place my friend...

Great blending of images and very fantastic work.

Wow that's an amazing work, looks really like a fantasy movie scene

It must be a wonderful place to live... nice work, author (as always!)...

This is really great conceptually and visually. Since you have so much time left, It would be cool to work on all the tiny nuances and blendings to make it perfect. Right now it's so striking, but the mist is very one dimensional and could be richer, and the clouds in spots are blown out/ have very little depth. I think you could definitely push this to an even higher level, if you're not sick of working on it yet. But over all A really great fantasy story, and a really thoughtful blend of images.

Good thing you submitted this here...there's no reflection to speak of.

Looks like I won't be entering this contest! LOL! Great job author! The only thing that bothers me is the mist on the water. Perhaps a bit of smudge left and right would make it more whisky. Good luck!

This is really juicy.

awesome!

Great attention to detail, really imaginative entry

I think the Kingdom's shadow on the water should be stronger and the waterlines of the statues on the left and right sides should be more 3D-looking (curved, not just straight across).

Nice work!

Looks really good, id look into adding some shadows from the statues and island if the light behind is so bright, also the city nor the statues (far left statue looks great, maybe just some slight level adjustments on others) would be so lit from the front.. mainly from the back based on the background light looks. Also if you added a reflection of the island on the ocean to give the feeling it was really floating over the ocean i think this could look really amazing.

luv the colours... congrats...

Lovely work.......G/L Author.
