Artist's Comments

Blaaaaaaah. Couldn't think of any good ideas of Week 107 of =createbyweek My brain is all mushy. I'll blame it on being sick for nearly a month, and hurting my back on Wednesday :P Pretty much all I've done the last few days is pop pills and sleep *sigh*

Critiques

Wow! First of all, what can I say? the atmosphere is incredible...I love the colors and lighting chosen here to display the celebration. However, some tweaking could be used to adjust the reflection (I would like to see more sunset colors in the water / affecting the tones of the land--which is beautiful in its emerald green glory, but needs more blending with the sky's illuminating sunset, I think). Also, I feel the castle sticks out a little too much from the hills. Perhaps some adjusting of contrast and brightness / curves would make it fit better! However, I really do marvel at the fireworks and the blending of the overall pictures. It's a very rich tapestry of wonderful emotion and landscaping. Great work!

I love it! I like that the viewer is on the outside, watching the celebration. At first glance I thought I would have liked to see someone in the bottom-left, going to the castle, but upon closer look, I much prefer the feeling of watching the excitement.

Thank you so much! I must say I really struggled with whether or not to add more stuff. At one point I had a couple cottages at the bottom left, but that made it seem too busy, so then I considered a horse, but that seemed too cliche...I keep toying with the idea of someone riding a horse towards the castle and celebration, but I just can't bring myself to do it lol. I'm really glad you like it though :hug:

I thought a someone riding a horse would have been cool to add but you're right, it is nice just as it is. Sometimes simple things are the best :) Great job :)
