You have to cross the River of scepticism, battle through the mountains of disbelief and the mists of disillusion to finally come to the Land of Fantasy that lays beyond. For what it is worth, my first ever entry in a Bryce challenge.

nice atmosphere, holds together well.

Without doubt this is the reddest thing I've seen this week. Perhaps a little too red? There's some good detail in there, and it has good depth, but the REDness tends to get in the way.

I agree with the suggestion to tone down the red a bit. I think if you do, the images and details will show up better. But overall chohole, I do very much like your render. You've done a great job with the layout of the scene and for me, it does create an image that beckons to the world beyond. Really nice and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Arry :)

Very good layout but as mentioned before there's too much red in this image. Apart from the heavy red it's a great render.

Great scene. I agree on the lessening of the red.

Very nice work, but I've got to agree with the others, too much red. Great work all the same :-)

The trouble was if I toned down the red, then I lost some of the ambiant haze effect, which I needed. I like monochromes anyway. I will have another go at adjusting the levels maybe in PS, that might do it.

Levels in PS will surely do fine. I would try to give a slightly metallic effect, maybe tone down the red and give it a reddish bronze hue with a colour balance adjustment layer.

Looks cool but I wonder if the "Land of fantasy" should have a different color scheme so it looks like a different place? Right now it looks almost like everything else. One thing you might try since you are thinking monochrome anyway is to make the non fantasy area shades of grey to give it a dismal look and then use bright colors for the fantasy land. Think grey rainy day vs golden summer afternoon.
