The final image :dance:

All the images used came from sxc.hu or the matte painter image pool on flickr, many thanks to all the photographers!
Ive been doing alot of photomanipulation on a much smalller scale before, and some painting, this felt like the natural way to evolve.
As this is one of my first matte paintings im gratefull for any critics and comments i can get!
