" The Journey to The Kingdom of Mountains " is actually concept which hit my mind at random while I was actually intending to work on some other concept. Honestly speaking, the witch model and the cart were the real inspiration behind this concept. I am extremely grateful to them for providing their awesome stocks for work. And also I'm extremely humble to the castle stock provider.
This work of mine is actually the first after a long time. I'd been quite awfully busy on certain aspects of my life which are still under darkness. But whenever I got time I couldn't keep myself from indulging into one my most beloved addiction which is Art.
I am humbly crediting to all the stockers who have made this photomanipulation finally possible.

i dont if u know......but i dont like write only happy comments because i hate write only "amazing", "beautiful" etc... i have a strong thought.......with only happy comments 1 people will not grow never and that people will be a beginner forever! For these reason i can be bad when i comment
At begin some peoples helped me to grow telling me a lot of mistakes.....because when u are a beginner, dont know where are mistakes and don't know if u are doing good or wrong!
For this reason i have been able to grow! Well here ----> [link] u can see my first work on Manip.
U know these works are very hard because they have many topics to be learned! But these works need much creativity, passion, heart and ocular sensivity!! Ocular sensivity is the real trick of these works...thx to that we can find for example mistakes or shades of tones etc...
Let me start to write something about this work! Well u are lucky because all is great in this work!
The composition is very very good!! The third rule is excellent here! The foreground is excellent too and remember me Lord of the rings! The lighting is amazing and u worked on those shadows very good!
The sky ok!! It create an amazing atmosphere! About the castle far away...i think it need just a bit to be sorrounded by fog...why? Because so u can enhance more the mistery......
So for real i can tell u this is an excellent work!!
And coming to this artwork of mine, I am once again very grateful for your great eye which has been very kind to let me know where I have my loopholes and what I should do to fill them up.
All I can ask for is keep observing my work and letting me know what I need to do in order to improve further and better.
Thank you !!
What I really like here is how good you manage contrast and hueish colors. Once again, brilliant job.
