Very good. Really amazing how much you edited the photo, but it still has a certain real quality. Well done, with good composition, and all the editing working well together. Maybe would have lightened it up a tad. Good work.

    Thank you very much. I appreciate your kind review and your input. [Just an explanation: I do need the darkness for my story, I invented it. I need the feel of a tropical night when the light comes only from the sky [no artificial like lanterns]. A night when, account to temperament some people see wonder; but others see ghosts or monsters in the shadows of the trees.
    All photos used were daylight photos.]

Good technical skills.
Good attention to details like the stars in the sky.
Like this concept its just a tad dark to me so some of the outlines are hard to see.
Its a really nice piece though.
Nicely done!

    Thank you! I appreciate your kind review and your input. Sorry if you do not see enough. Just for explanation:I am maybe wrong, but then my whole story is wrong. The darkness is conceptual because I need the feel of a tropical night with the light coming only from the sky [without lanterns]. A night when, account to temperament, some see wonder and others see ghosts or monsters in the shadows of the trees.

I love the inventive creativity of the project. The twinkling lights in the background give enough light to show off the couple in the back light. The star light adds a punch of light in the scene. The crafted scene show great imagination and the talent of the photo artist.

I gravitated to this piece because of the dream-like quality it possesses. The individual standing amongst the trees gives this painting a feeling of wonderment & wishing for something special. Good work!

I see that the concept is clearly expressed, however I see a number of "stars" that are circles, this is not great for the night sky. The silhouetted layer with the glow is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you, I appreciate your review and your input, truth I do not understand your critic. Please explain. All the stars are circles, apart from the wishing star which only exist in the imagination of the people and is a symbol in the picture. If I look at a starry tropical sky. I do not see pointed stars but circles. Please explain why I cannot have this in the picture. I do not understand.

    If you look at the area next to the 7-arm star, there are a number of "stars" that are circles and/or ovals, rather than what we would perceive as stars. I agree that the tropical stars (and all stars for that matter) show in the sky as points of lights. What I see in that area are the perimeters of circles, that does not jive with what you see in the sky. The fact that the composition you presented is very nice and well deserved of the 5 rating I see these "circle" as a bit distracting. If you do not see them in the original art it could be a problem with the FAR downloads, as you know there are many problems there. I hope that this clarify my comments.

    Ups, that could be caused by my bad eyes, I maybe did not blow my original up big enough to see the details. The stars are made from reflections in soap bubbles may some show still up as bubbles instead as spots. I better check the original at 200%. I let you know. Thank you a lot for seeing it!!!
