unkskitty [lvl 11] [vp 1000] [ 18]:

Wow. I love this. Great colors. Very surreal. I like the swirly mist, but perhaps refine the upper left corner mist a little to match better with the rest. Great!

Credits background and dragons (exept the little one and the eggs, drew them myself) JLStock

wazowski [lvl 13] [vp 1000] [ 88]:

Looks nice, but I'm afraid there's a light problem (big dragon get light from under, other light comes from left behind) and perhaps you can improve a bit with the big dragon selection too. Small dragon in the air looks nice, but I wonder how big that one will be if it would get closer. Last thing is the perspective of the castle. Some critic, but overall well done !

CMYK 46 [lvl 18] [vp 1000] [ 25]:

Foreground rocks look less blurry in source pic. The dragon looks less realistic desaturated; kinda looks like plastic now compared to source. All I can see of the baby dragon is an eye in a blurry shape...this could be a much better image with some tweaks. If you flipped the dragon it would match the light source better. And would it make a nest in the middle of a path? (Well, OK...who could stop it, but still...).

YourNameHere [lvl 6] [vp 1000] [ 23]:

If you make a selection of the foreground dragon and go to Select > Refine edges, or right-click and go to Contract selection, and contract it by 1-3 pexels it will cut off that white line around it. good luck!

need to improve the mask work, mainly at the dragon

greenleaf [lvl 1] [vp 0] [ 0]:

Wow. Grwat Job. But the dragon's outline could be a bit blended in or rounded. I like this alot.

lordymail [lvl 15] [vp 1000] [ 53]:

at first I thought that you made the dragon too, but after that I saw the sources used for this entry, pritty dissapointing. The finished work looks good but not much of source used.

MissDevious [lvl 12] [vp 0] [ 1]:

I really like this but in the bottom right corned I can see where you cloned the grass,is it possible if you can clone the left side and flip it to the right to cover that ickyness,other than that small detail this is really good.
