This is absolutely beautiful.
What was your inspiration for it? Like what is the "why" behind this? Is it some internal fantasy of yours, dream home, symbolic of your ideal world, what?

Oh wow.. This is really beautiful. It makes me think of all the times I said I wanted to live in a Thomas Kinkade painting. I correct myself. I want to live at Rainbow's End.

I feel like I have just stepped into the pages of a book with deep, enriched history and a land in a world that has not yet been uncovered by man. The mood of this picture makes it feel as if it's a photo of a living and breathing countryside and it's almost as if you could walk inside the small cottage and greet the people living inside. Exquisite job! <3

this is so gorgeous, the detail is just amazing! I love all the stones, and the archways and bridges, it gives it such an intricate feeling. The rainbows and light beams really add to the atmosphere, and it has such a unique perspective. I love all the birds, and the sky...actually I love everything. This is just wow.
