avatar lundmikkel Looks good. The shadows are nice, but They have to be a little stronger somewhere. Compare with the right side of the contest house... Nice work...

avatar thoughtstorms Outstanding chop! You picked a GREAT source (your own photo, no less) for this! My eyes assumed that the architectural toppers were made from the contest source! The reflection in the Taj Mahal's reflecting pool is very very well done! I'm voting high, and this is a favourite! Take a bow! (c= Oh - and great step-by-step too! Could be made into a great tutorial with a little text!

nightfahl [lvl 15] [vp 664] [vote medals 9]:
avatar nightfahl I think the shadows are perfect, they match the lighting. The water is where I'm seeing a problem. With all the wind in the background, both in the trees and in the water, the water in the front would not be so perfectly calm and serene. The front is working beautifully. So if any changes are made, make it to the background (easier lines to cut that way too). Overall a very beautiful job. Very cleanly done. The building itself is fabulous.

The water in the background is seawater, the water in front of the house is still water.
I'll try to correct the shadows Lundmikkel.

lundmikkel [lvl 20] [vp 1000] [vote medals 87]:
avatar lundmikkel Wow, I'm speechless after seeing your step-by-step guide. That is some amazing photoshopping. The foreground needs some work if you ask me. Why does the water go streight up to the door? Don't think it makes sense.
About the shadows. Compare the right side of building with the right side of the tower/turret. They seem darker on the building...

thoughtstorms [lvl 10] [vp 386] [vote medals 11]:
avatar thoughtstorms I kind of see your point, lundmikkel, but if you look at the contest source, there are doors that would throw you down into the lake if you tried to walk out them. I think they are door/window combos, so that works, actually. There are two ways to leave this building, only one in the original.

As for wind in the shallow reflecting pool... i think the disturbance the author put there is plenty. Water can't make waves that are thicker than the water is deep, so just a little shift here and there i think is plenty. Just my .2 Euros. (c;

Well Vicspa... I worked for 4 days on it... All together I think over 20 hours... But seeing the comments, it was worth it.

no avatar It is great, but it's not perfect, you only ned to fix the part where the building meets the water and walkway then it will be 100% perfect

lundmikkel [lvl 20] [vp 1000] [vote medals 87]:
avatar lundmikkel I think it was worth the time too. It really shows what you are able to do with Photoshop. It looks like you added the shadows I talked about. Looks good. Thoughtstorms: You may be right, but it's only the door ion the middle that has got handles. Author you added the handles on the other doors. Then why not remove them from the door in the middle since it's now a window?? And to be a little more picky, you have an edge on the second tower from the right that isn't on the others. But it's a very very strong entry indeed. Keep up the good work...

vicspa [lvl 31] [vp 1000] [vote medals 14]:
avatar vicspa People should take note, you gotta take the extra 2, 3, 4 or even 5 steps. the ones that know photoshop well, know what it take to put out an entry like yours.
As I read above, technical aspects can be a pain in the butt, but overall, I'ts wonderful.
