Love the mood now. Bravo! While it seems there're too many things to attract my eyes... It would be good if your can make the painting easier to read, imo...

The first concept opened very nicely when you removed that big tree and parts of ruins in the middle. Now you can feel that water path leads you to the point of intrest. Just finish that awesome mountain/ruin in the background and you are all set. And Indiana Jones as well. Second concept is realy epic vista and deserves much more time then 15 days left in this contest. If you are fast worker get to it now and compare the results of the two mattes and post the better one. Good luck with both of them.

The Last one has a massive depth view. Its nice, but the first one has a more mystic feeling over it...

Thanks for Tjerkotten for your opinion.
I agree with you about the mystical side of the first matte.
It's what I like the most, but the truth is that I let this matte go. It happens sometimes. I was just turning around with it. Now it is waiting quietly in its file. Later I'll finish it for sure !

I had just two days to work on something new.
- There it is the pictures that I used.
- The evolution of the WIP.
- The last step (...for the moment...)
- Close-ups

I won't be able to work this week and next week on The lost Jungle, except during the last two days of this challenge. Let me know what you think guys. I always appreciate the fact that you can share easily constructive points of view !

Good luck !

Its not mystic, but it looks much better as a composition and an edit than the first one. Cool matte. If this was real i wanted to go there on vacation and go rafting

I like how you composited all the different waterfall views. Hope you have the time to work on some of the matte egdes that still make some of the elements look pasted in. And somehow I don't like the cyan sky tint of the last wips so much, in the second step of your wip sheet it looks better to me.
Good luck for the final steps.

This looks stunning! I'm not sure about the colouring but it doesn't detract too much from the sense of scale for this matte which is breathtakingly beautiful

Some perspective issues still, waterflows as well. But it is a nice pic . Needs some tweaks on the sharpness of some areas...

Very nice progress and a very good piece. Little sharpening maybe ...

OK Guys !

I added a few hours before the deadline and here's the final product.
I come back to the blue colours (less sepia), I've worked too on the sharpness, textures on the rocks and vegetation, etc...
Well... here we go !

Thanks guys for your advices and encouragements during all this month

Good Luck !

Before

After : go away sepia colour !

After : More sharper and textures

Close-up Before

Close-up After
