CMYK 46 [lvl 12] [vp 1000] [ 9]:

Very impressive! Tweak the waterfall reflection at the left edge and the base of the rock where it meets the water, and it will be even better. However, the light source on the castle and rocks is from the right, not from the moon.

Norman [lvl 9] [vp 179] [ 1]:

Love the work but a quick tweak would have the water responding to the water falling into it

Jurgen [lvl 15] [vp 1000] [ 21]:

very very nice entry. Just the overall look from the image should be a little bit more darker in my eyes to gives a even better emotion to the picture.

DanLundberg [lvl 5] [vp 0] [ 0]:

Fun idea. Light seems to be coming from every which direction, e.g., compare castle shadows with walkway shadows. Walkway seems tiny when compared to the scale of the spiral staircase. Waterfall is cool, but its source location makes me think someone in the castle just flushed a toilet.

A lot of masking with the palace.
Ropes and rainbow were made with PS.

Jurgen [lvl 15] [vp 1000] [ 21]:

really nice entry, but in the image exists a sun otherwise will be no rainbow there. I think there should be also some shadow on the house and some shadow which the house drops into the grass.

Nice image, but hot air balloons are traditionally very colorful. Don't think this one helps. (Wouldn't we see some of the bottom of the house at this angle?)

rijkjavik [lvl 20] [vp 1000] [ 151]:

very nice like the balloon
(21 days ago)

p3_sv [lvl 2] [vp 1000] [ 190]:

nice raybow. Maybe attach a rope latter :P that way would be possible to descend on earth
(21 days ago)

DanLundberg [lvl 5] [vp 0] [ 0]:

To see a rainbow, the sun needs to be behind you -- which appears to be more or less the case here. The tuxedo balloon works with the formality of the house, but the black does sort of overpower things. In the best of all possible worlds you could find a source pic of a wedding-dress balloon to play off the white house with the lacy millwork. The ropes and stakes look fake -- plus they're totally unnecessary and contradict the title you gave the image. A ground shadow might be appropriate.

The waterfalls was build from different sources. Some details was painted in with arm. This image took me really long time till I got this final result. I hope u like it. Feel free to leave a comment.

CMYK 46 [lvl 12] [vp 1000] [ 9]:

You created a beautiful setting for a house with no foundation that's tipping over. To me that detracts from your image...call me a Philistine.

author:

Thanks for the comments friends, the house will not swept away because its fixed on poles.(Take a close look). CMYK aka Philistine you are right with the foundation, I build one but its was so heavy that its go already under the water

Claudiolky [lvl 41] [vp 900] [ 90]:

Wow for the scenery.... but the work is no good!!!!

first the house looks flat / light work at the house is wrong / where is the strong steam at the house(now looks fake) ..... I agree with CMYK the background distract the problems!!!
(24 days ago)

author:

That the work isn't good is a little bit hard I think. The light problems I can accept. The steam is taste if its looks better with or without. If you wouldn't know the original photo would you really miss the steam and take this as a fake? I will make some improvements.

Travel with me, if you will, back to the time of Jules Verne's magnificent machines. But this one is a moveable steam-driven dwelling, at home on the rails as well as in the aire.

The background url is Eleven Mile State Park: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1000399 - thanks to iotdfi for this beautiful image.

CMYK 46 [lvl 12] [vp 1000] [ 9]:

The train itself and the background are great! The perspective on the smokestack/exhaust thing at the rear is not...it comes about 100 feet into the foreground, in front of whatever those ice chunk looking things are. (Whatever they are, they look semi-transparent or something...). Source link for them?

thanks for the comments, everyone, and CMYK - I have tweaked the phone part per your suggestion. The entire background, including the semitransparent ice chunks are all the same image, see the url in the comments paragraph under the entry - . Go to the sxc.hu site and type in that long photo number.
