1st place
The place where stories and legends comes alive by Inkeri

Birdlover18: A very wonderful shot! I would just adore visiting such a place where it would have these delightful cabins with pretty flowers planted by the windows. Excellent clarity, and there's a lovely surrounding softness of the green that makes the picture!
I wish you well in the contest :)

4th place
Dragon at the Gate by Tootles

purmusic: Love.. it!


Lost count of the number of times I have come back to your image's page here, having first viewed it upon posting.

And I still can't get past the initial feeling evoked of a mischievous and benevolent dragon sneaking about, who is a friend to the king's son. (So, take this 'constructive critique' with a grain of salt. ;o) )


The posturing (stating the obvious here, perhaps) ... and that of the colour palette makes for a very inviting illustrative-like image. On the notes of what is transpiring within frame (telling a story, or parts of) and stimulating more imaginative twists and details.


The composition really sets this one up well, in my opinion. The somewhat lower perspective and looking upwards.. adds to the 'lighter sense of being' and 'airiness' (rest assured, it's a good good thing)imparted.

The lines of the castle itself, in conjunction with the 'flow' of the clouds, et al.. underscores the strength of this element.


Caveats?

Minor, at best.

Smoke emanating from the dragon's nostrils. Gets lost a bit against the backdrop and is not quite as polished (not sure how you created this facet ... or that of it's positioning, layer-wise).

... ...

Ahh, ok.. got it.

The one word descriptor that has been eluding me pea brain.. 'delightful'.

:o)

5th place
...in the Forest of Ever After... by lilu103

Dunstickin: We should have a contest to find which woman 'talks' the longest!!!...

(Runs and hides till after the fallout!!!)

Logun7: Congratulations!
