Claudiolky [lvl 41] [vp 1000] [ 90]:

great idea..but need a lot of improvements like:

- the reflection at the river is wrong;
- the border houses/cliff at the left side looks weird;
- the light at the part (cliff & river)from the external source is wrong;
- you need to give sharp at the whole work...

nice idea, but try to keep the hight of the rocks to the level where the water was, that way it will look more natural I think.

Thanks guys! @Claudiolky, I'll try to incorporate your comments when I have the time, though I can't quite understand what you meant with the fourth one. @robvdn, I intended for the rocks to seem like it's crawling up the walls of the buildings.

*Update* Highlight on water fixed as well as the color of a portion of the right cliff (at the center of the image).

Thanks guys. @CMYK 46, I'll try to work on the SBS, no promises though. @giallo86, yes, this is rather impossible, and I personally don't believe that what is covered by water (in the real venice) looks anything like this... it was fun doing this though @vicspa, the gondollas are all gone since the scene isn't too romantic anymore. hehehe...

Thank you very much George55 for your kind words... I'm hoping that also as I have never had any entry that won 1st place... but then again there are tons of great choppers here in PST, so for now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. Best of luck to everybody

Dramatic with evocative color, but I agree that the rocks should be chopped off to match the true Venice shoreline. (If you could afford to build any of these houses, would you leave rocks to block your access to the canal?)
