Tag As FavoriteComment		This is where the Cruth mountains eventually meet the waters of the Queronn Seas, the easternmost point of the lowlands, along the south shores. Only scholars speak of the Auld name for the mythical summit, the greatest heights of the Cruth, and this image suggests it's magesty... I've included it here as a reference image( I apologise for the lens flare.)

I have immense respect for this piece, firstly because it has such tremendous atmosphere, and secondly, because it totally succeeds at being a (gasp!)landscape! The lense flare makes it look somehow more real. It's a photographic quality, and although there's nothing explicitly fantastic about this space, it pulsates with mystic energy. Having played with you, this doesn't surprise me. You have again managed to take me to a place and put me THERE.

Gorgeous landscape.. the fading of the cliffs in the background is just perfect, the small touch of ocean and the lighting.. the smokiness of it gives it power and mystery. Really beautiful.

Of course i will say "nice lighting" or "good use of shadowing". However, I appreciate the ridges of the rock, the depth of the landscape, and the reflection is realistic. Reminds me of Myst. Very nice.

Kinda scary when it's no longer possible to tell the difference between a real picture and a computer generated one, isn't it? Great job. My gosh...

This is spectacular. It's so inspiring... I know when I get a chance to, I'll try to do something similar (not TOO similar, hehe, because your work is yours!!) because it's just too awesome.

You must have used quite a few layers for this... it's so beautiful, like a scraps of paper that got melted together... Ever think of maybe adding stars, just for effect in the negative space of the upper lefthand side?

Oie...I agree with everyone above me! Has an almost surreal feel to it, so much so it gave me goose-bumps! 12
