Congrats Matteo!

Wonderful entry! Really perfect for the subject matter. GL

You asked for suggestions? I have one: Give up some of your talent to those of us who can't do this great of work! We would love you for it!
Excellent job with feel and mood here author.
(although I agree with CMYK about moving the subject just a little bit for the same reasons he gave)

Powerfull !!

Powerful image, author!

i really love this image!

A SBS in a source contest is mandatory, when only the given source image was used (doesn't matter if it is unrecognisable or not). If external sources were used, it's not mandatory, but mods can always ask for one (in case there is something unclear). The author here used external sources, so a SBS is not needed.

Great job, author! You are really good in creating a mood and telling stories with your entries. But I told you that before
Good luck!

OK. Thanks for the answer, but I thought they were obligatory? (pardon spelling if it's wrong!)

Nobody ever tells you.....SBS please! Just wondering why?.....

makes me think of the movie "the imaginarium of doctor parnassus" fantastic :p

woah awesome...gud job author...

I agree with EmiK, you guys have bad thoughts...
Author, as always, one more fantastic work came out from your hands...

I never thought about that guy "crotch gazing", lol. I like the guy there, looks like he has come across an old civilization and is about to discover a whole lost city behind him. I like how you utilized the tree pollen and turned it in to snow here.

Like how you've kept the original colour of the statue as your theme colour and adapted the rest. Gives your image a real natural feel about it.

You say true rufkut, I had the same.
The image looks fantastic. Best of Luck!author.

I had a feeling it was you author, great image.

In the cold region like that, the shadow is not that strong because of the light reflection is everywhere

another awesome work.....! my fav, surely...

Might be better to move the little guy so he's not crotch gazing...

very cool (no pun intended)

snow on the statue looks blurred on high res

EDIT: better now

looks like a movie poster

beautiful work, well done

Pls... don't jump!
Very beautiful work, Mr. Mood!

very cool

Other than maybe partially blending some of the birds with the sky/clouds/fog, not much to whine about here. Very clean chop, nice colours and even tells us something about the theme.. would make a lovely poster on a wall, good job.(Oh, while I'm at it.. 2 of the foremost birds seem to have a strange flying course compared to the rest. I have no idea why it bothers me that much, would look better if you would rotate them just a tiny bit to the left..)

Wow, gave me chills, really beautiful.

aye. it truly is a representation of "lonely". i love the whole feeling of it.

AWESOME entry, Congrats!!
