Good idea, the 'frost' around the window could use some more work.. And I agree with Claudiolky about the light :O .. I'll vote later if you wish to make it even better.

The edges of the rocks on either side of the road look to hard(sharp) alittle blur along the edges would have helped

High Resolution

Used one picture for the texture of background and a lot of handwork. (Removed the shadows from the ground etc) Colored the lamps, added the park bench and shadow for it. (Used perspective tool, rotation and the usual stuff). Added two boys and gave them some color to the face and clothes. Also made new hair for the small boy.

Finally adjusted the lightning, trying to match the lamps. (Reflection of the light on the bench and nearby trees)

Please see full resolution and sources.

Very nice!! Might look even better without the people.... they appear to be in perspective but just don't feel like they belong there?
