Wow!!! 99 views and not one comment. Well, it must be perfect then.

Come on guys, it's all about learning. Help me out with some crits.

i like this one, but additional lighting is kinda weird 4 me - ther's no shadows cast by "lamps" ... main light is moonlight right ? looks fine 4 me

... work on this additional lights+shadows & it should looks more natural
regards & good luck

Thanks for the feedback. Yep, moonlight is main light. I'm looking and looking and looking and I just can't figure out how or where to add those shadows from the lamps. The top of the wall and the wall on the church directly behind the lamp was supposed to be lit from the lamp. I guess I didn't pull it off, lol. Anyway, thanks for the hint. I'll work on it.

i don't know much about lighting, but 4 me THIS area looks unrealistic (pic) 1 lamp don't cast shadows in pointed corner, 2 don't light wall with 4 windows ... maybe i'm wrong, but when i look on Ur picture this areas lools weird 4 me, good luck M8

This is a cool image. Although I have 1 comment. The setting is not that beleivable though. It looks more like early morning just before the first streak of sun comes out. It might be the color selection.

I'm pretty sure with a darker tone the image will improve. A slight change in hue and sturation too...

Hope this helps

Thanks, Eyecon, I'm gonna play around with those suggestions. Works been a dog this week so I haven't had a chance to do anything to it.

i agree with eyecon, too bright and the lamp posts are also cyan-ish, which is weird.

Thanks, Suirebit. Work is still keeping away from PS but I guess I better find some time in the next 2 days, lol.
