I really like the dark and stormy atmosphere in this image. And the crows are a very nice touch.

The composition is fairly good, i just think that maybe the image is a little crowded?
The cliff (and the castle like thing on top), the stormy sky and the crows work beautifully together, but maybe the archy with the river is too much? (Maybe you could just settle for the river.)

Also i'm not sure whether that cave is really or photoshopped in, but it kind of distracted me from the main focus of the image.

Oh and the top of the mountain is pretty fuzzy, maybe just spend a bit more time cutting it out, or darken the sky some more e.deviantart.net/emoticons/r/r… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Razz)" />

Overall; great atmosphere, fairly good composition, just needs some work on de-cluttering and cleaning up the edges =]

Thank you for posting in my forum thread 'Constructive Critique on Your Artwork' [link] .
Sorry about the much delayed reply, but for whatever its worth:

It is a fantastically omnious scene looking like it is ready to be used as a stock. As a art piece itself, I would employ the classic light filter on the overall picture to guide the viewer's eye. For instance, the periphery could be darkened and the light filter gradually lightened towards the castles on the cliff. Keep up the good work!

I really like the atmosphere you created in this piece! Even as a thumbnail, something about it made me want to look closer and see more.

Nice gloomy before the storm atmosphere 8D
Could use more warm light on the castle to deepen the effect 83

The crows are really nice touch and everything is blended quite well 8D

You've pieced this together really well. It looks like a scene from a video game. It has a great feeling of suspense to it, like you can feel the storm coming in

I too like it but it seems like it may be a little to dark. Little contrast between the rock and sky on the left side? I do like the hole in the rock. I can imagine what may be lurking inside.

Thats pretty cool, dead dark and foreboding.

maybe you could make it narrower. Cut off a bit from the left side Then it would be more balanced. I think that would be better

I like it but I also think that there's something missing. Something with the waterfall because its beginning doesn't look so natural. Maybe you should start there. Nice idea anyway.

hrm. I'm not sure. It kind of feels like there is something missing to me too. I think maybe some more trees and plants on the cliff face would fill it out more. If not there then on the top left cliff. My favorite part just now is the sky with the birds.
