Bravo! This is a lovely, evocative image very well done.Try to fix the uneven lighting on the front of the house...the door especially is too bright. The shadow on the figure needs work too. I would love to know what your grandma's folk tale is about. This entry is not perfect, but if you improve it you will get a high vote from me.

author:

thanks cmyk i have looked what u have mention & edited some portion of my entry but for the brightness of the door is coz of the door is not totally closed is open a little bit so the light from inside the house make the door little brighter then the rest
(18 days ago)

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

Then fix the door so it looks open...right now it looks closed.

author:

sorry i think it is better that way coz it gives u the feel that there's the story behind it & thats my grandma's tale for U
(18 days ago)

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

LOL...okay, one hint: the door doesn't look open because the light behind it is bright, but the windows look darker. Make it better!
(18 days ago)

author:

for the door it is perfect that way the light from the behind should be brighter that way & for the windows the carpenter who build these house used some thick heavy glasses for the windows so the light can't be reflected that brightly i think ..haha

haricharan [lvl 22] [vp 1000] [ 5]:

author .. let me put it this way..nobody is perfect and ever one make mistakes.. ..the door appears open and window is made of glass and is transperant so it should let the light pass thru it so which means the windows can me made to look more lighter and brighter..its good to take advices when they are good and improve..you have great talent and a great chopper..you are in pst to improve with all the good and bad comments i leave it at this ... overall great entry ..good work

out of source picture
(17 days ago)

author:

thats is my point the door is not closed at all look closely it is slighetly open i have also mention earlier if u think the door is closed u might be blind look at the image closely before giving coments it shoul be little brighter then the rest of house coz the light from the inside of the house just come out of the door for the windows i think these is correct coz in ur part of world we used these kind of thick things to protect from natural disaster or from many dangers and it does look not that bright i have notice what u have mention but i can't edit what is right i think there is nothing to edit here sorry mate

yeh i know its good to take advice i always accept my mistake but sometime these silly critics can spoiled an entry for us these is not a problem but for the beginners this silly critics can ruin his or her entry so always keep in mind before giving coments its very easy to give critics & pointed out mistakes but do keep in mind wether u r giving right coment or not ..with regards ...

That looks nice ! I'd leave out the bamboo behind the fisherman.
(16 days ago)

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

Excellent job! Only two small things: needs a shadow under the leg on the rock, and the fish underwater look funny...I don't think we'd see underwater in a turbulent, murky looking stream. Still, good job!

deepakdhiman [lvl 6] [vp 1000] [ 91]:

very nice work...but i think the han isn't at right place..
(16 days ago)

unkskitty [lvl 9] [vp 722] [ 15]:

I like this one better. With the underwater fish, try adjusting the blending settings so that where there is white in the water the image doesn't show through. I think that would help them look "under" the water. (message me if you want more detail what I mean)
(16 days ago)

author:

Thank you for comments.... Hilleke: The bamboo is a kind of spear that the fisherman is using for fishing, CMYK: I will add the shadow... these fish are almost floating on this shallow stream. Deepkdhiman: I think the hands (both) look ok for me....!

Very nice, I feel that if the kayak and paddle and backround are so bright with the sun that the guy should have some brighter light reflecting, especially considering he is wearing a white shirt. See the original kayaker
