Tootles: Beautifully done... I love the addition of the dolphin, which I didn't see till I opened it up full size. Has the boat's owner really vanished forever... or is she living happily in the tree? The best of luck in the contest. :-)

4th place
Dragon at the Gate by Tootles

casechaser: Excellent contest entree.

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

Logun7: Congratulations!

Gabbels: Absolutely amazing piece of art! Have faved and saved this one.... Going back to my search....

nessalovesnature: Okay, now THIS is COOL! Great job on this! I love it!

robosys: Extremely impressive! I'm normally a fan of more simple images, but I made an exception here. The amount of work involved must have been staggering. Thanks a lot.
