beautiful effect .. this is a wonderful capture..excellent work...

You ask me to apply criticism to a terrain I have little experience. It has acquired painting attributes and it is very appealing. Apart from that the lighting is good and one of the things which grab my attention. Keep experimenting though, ground breaking work was seldomly done from a textbook.

Nice work. The black top let corner seems too big. But it's just my own feelings. The rest seems very good to me.

Hi,, I do think you can draw so why don´t show us =) the image feels very diffrent as to what I´ve used to se from you. What I don´t like, the middle part! I think you got a nice mood going on with the darker parts of the image, and the bird up to the right with the moon and foggy feeling would have been enough to make a great image on it´s one. It´s refreshing to see your experiments.. Hugz/benny Hope u get a nice weekend

Beautiful work!!

Nice shot erland

No clue what you did to this image, but I absolutely love it! A very creepy mood, but beautiful at the same time. Lovely work indeed!

Okay I love the mood you are trying to create here my friend, but for me there is too much smokey black in the composition. Otherwise I really get a dark mood feeling which I think is what you are trying to convey. Have a fantastic weekend my friend - hugs Jane xx

Great shot,love the fog amd the mood it conveys.Really nice!

So close, an impressive composition! Nice weekend for you from DREAMBOAT...

Well, difficult to explain... but I like this image very much !!! It reminds me somewhat my series of January 2006 : "Alfred " Excellent work, Shari, keep experimenting !

Imaginative and exotic scene! Excellent background and mist effect!

I like what you did but a couple of things strike me... There is a globe/bubble/moon... upper right in the fog spotlighting. As you can see, that is difficult to distinguish without study. I'm not sure I feel comfortable with that. Also, it took me a moment to understand the pose of the bird on the rail. There wasn't quite enough distinction for me to decide was it facing front or rear when I first looked at it. Other than that, I think what you have done here is great. The softening and the lighting affects are very nice.

can't peck it apart! awk!

Agree with Bonkers....the middle part is confusing to me....still a great shot of the Crow-type bird!

Both the image and thumb by itself are very striking/moody photos. Well done!

You have my interest in understanding how this was accompished. Looks like fun. The result is a foreboding mood with an intention of intrigue.

the soft dreamlike atmosphere and the color shift of monochromatic on the right and color in the center of the image make me look more than one time at this.

beautifully postworked with your special artists touch !! wonderful compo and result!!....

Love the atmospheric mood you have created here... As for criticism I am still learning myself.. I think you did excellent... Hugs Susan~

MHO, I agree with some of the others on this, the top left I find to big, (either crop or lighten), the right hand crow as PJ says is very indistinct, no features whatsoever, the light just above it's head doesn't help, I think that could do with darkening or shifting towards the moon. It is a dark moody picture, if that is what you were aiming for then you have it. It is not up to your usual standard but hey we all have an off day. It is good to try different things, other wise we become stale or go autopilot just churning them out. I wish I had your guts and drive. Although this isn't your top notch stuff, I mark it four, for grit determination and effort. Bravo!!!!

Love he little gloomy and sad mood in this. Like a definiive Goodbye to summer. Hugs - Gun

I like the blending of the images...very moody piece...seems as if the bird on the right is remembering better days :D

Great shot my friend. Exquisite work

Leave them terrible to these crows... it seems that they wait that or let us die!!! he/she gives terror the bird of the right... The shot is truly surprising!!! Very well fact
