Very nice!

Without the texture this is just another piece of computer art..... Excellent touch!!

thank you very much... if it makes you want to touch your monitor, i've achieved my goal ;)

I agree with Crazylvan! Great picture, I'm happy for you for achieving your goal and creating a fantastic peice of art!

Obviously a lot of people like this image. I feel you were a little heavy handed with the texture. The mountains do have an interesting, human like, composition. Clearly you're on your way though. Just my 2 cents.

well i suppose i was heavy handed with the texture. does it kinda remind you of an oil painting by someone who really cakes on the paint? thats what i had in mind

it looks like a very heavy image and it does look like the painter threw the paint on there a wee bit too heavy but it is okay

Heavy or not its still very beautiful which is good enough for me so Good job red :)

I love this..the color combinations I think. Looks great on the desktop and gives plenty of room for my desktop icons.

Nice job

I really enjoyed this image, it's really cool it's my kinda art! I also liked many other of your works in your gallery. A good question is, are you, or did you enter the fantasy landscape contest? If not you should give it a whirl.

very retro, but nice. i have seen real paintings--just wednesday actuall--and they really do get carried away with the paint, but it's what makes the image look more realistic (especially if you put it in the right spot).
