I love the originality of this, very creative.
The sidewalk going into town is a nice touch for adding perspective.
The same for the towers, great effect capturing it as if we are looking up at it.
Beautiful work!

Makes me think of polish book "Miasto Snów" (The City of Dreams) from "Felix, Net i Nika" series. All your works looks like my dreams, it's crazy

Immediately what strikes me in this image is its very extreme vertical structure. I look at the castle and sky - a beautiful scene, of course, but below, there's a whole other landscape, and above, a whole other image.
The amount of space and diversity such a vertical image achieves is quite insane, and I feel like it makes this image extremely dynamic.
Put simply, it's like three scenes in one - three atmospheres in one, three structures in one, three compositions in one. Yet, the way they all seem to work together is what makes it all truly stunning.
Firstly, the bottom third of the image appears to be this very serene, equally lovely, countryside-like landscape.
The flat plains and modest horizon line conveys a rather relaxing atmosphere, the rich, blue tones seen in the colours adding a rather dreamy mood as well.
The cloud line, however, appears very interesting in comparison to the otherwise very flat angle seen in the landscape, as it seems to be curved in slightly. This implies that perhaps the clouds are curving away from something, moving away from whatever is at the centre, like curtains parting on a theatre, waiting for the actors to come on the stage - I feel like this use of shape really attracts attention to something.
Of course, this sense of focus is used very nicely with the sparkling stars that leave a trail up into the next third of the image; the first smooth transition.
Suddenly, the sense of that curved shape in the clouds is made extremely extravagant with the introduction of this heavenly landscape - the extremely steep angles of the clouds really heightens the impact of the castle. Again, like curtains in a theatre, the clouds seem to part to reveal this spectacular scene.
The use of light further heightens this apparel, the bright glows emanating from the bottom creating that sense of height, implying that the towers of the castle are so tall that they tower into the sky itself. Combined with the curve of the clouds, the castle appears very daunting and quite majestic, with that touch of fantasy from the blueish tone.
However, still the perspective used draws attention to the vanishing point which seems to be further up in the image - so the audience's eyes follow up the piece to reach this spectacular spacescape; the second smooth transition.
The crack in the clouds appears very engaging with its high contrast, the speckled stars and planets creating a very surreal apparel, only heightened by quite literally a ship that seems to be sailing in the midst of this marvellous, fantastic spacial heaven.
Such a dreamy scene is calmed down and softened at it fades and darkens, smoothing in the scene with the infinity of space beyond the frame; levelling the image off.
A peaceful countryside, a majestic, fantasy-like castle, a spectacular, mystical space - all these scenes appear so amazing on their own, but, as mentioned at the start, what I think really makes them amazing is how smoothly they transition between each other and work together as one piece.
The curve of the clouds seen at the countryside with the trail of stars focuses the above scene very fluently; the perspective of the castle diverts the attention to the space, and the space eases the image off.
The series of these cohesive and quite beautiful transitions are simply amazing, and it creates quite the journey for the eyes as the audience travels throughout these episode-like scenes, taken from a peaceful, normal world to a surreal spacescape, all in a smooth and magical journey.
Again, truly stunning work of using the abnormally high vertical image, combining three individually awesome, unique scenes into one fluent adventure; quite the visual journey. I love the inventiveness of it all, and you've executed the concept very nicely. I can see how, with even more improvement and technique, this layout could be seriously amazing.
Awesome work!
