Sometimes we need time alone to gather our thoughts. The loss of a loved one can leave us sad and lonely, but the wonderful memories will never die.
This image is dedicated to Choppy, who's father recently passed away.
May he rest in peace.

mom22seans [lvl 9] [vp 233] [ 33]:

Beautiful work! May God be with Choppy and family.

next time check the extra vote bars "perspective shadows originality " so your work can be apreciated from more points of view. Even if it's simple, for me this one's the winner

BRILLIANT! great reflextion! great colours! it's GREAT! WELL DONE!
(1 year and 2 days ago)

author:

Ok, this new version has better reflections and shadows in the hole. I don't put steps because i think a good source is the secret and many talents can do better with it. For the reflection, i turn the castle 180° and fusion with "superposition" to keep waves. I had to it a little gaussian blur and erased the old light reflection with darkness tool because it's the better way to keep the waves (not perfect because i found the tip recently and i need to train)
Happy you like it. I leave near that a similar view in the midi of France.

Alan2641 [lvl 16] [vp 1000] [ 812]:

Good idea -- Check the shape of the "Frog" (the X shaped portion where the two tracks cross) it is not the correct shape (Small detail but it is right in the middle of you image and I spent a few summers on track gangs)
