Description
Ehhh.......................it could be worse. I really don't like how it turned out though. :\Made for the "Winter Landscape" Challenge at , level 2
------------------------------------------------
Like:
--Color scheme
--The way the mountains and foreground tree turned out
--The sun
Dislike:
--The way the ground looks with the trees. I actually had a different image for a while that I think fit perfectly, but then as I was rereading the requirements for the contest, I realized that I hadn't used a single piece of the requred stock. So I had to change it.
--The trees in the background. I can't tell what's wrong with them exactly, but they look funny.
--The way I cut out the bottom right corner of the foreground tree. I got a bit sloppy/lazy/tired/whatever-it-was-I-don't-remember, and it really shows... I honestly don't have the energy to fix it right now, so it'll stay like this until some time in the future. Or forever. Haven't decided yet.

I find it looks great. I think what you find looks funny maybe with the trees in the back is they seem to be too close to the mountains to be that size, they should either be much smaller or closer to the foreground? But no matter, it still makes a fantastic background, you did a great job!

Yeah, I think that's what's wrong.
And thank you!

I do like that foreground tree, it combines well with the other trees more to the back. Maybe it is the size or those background trees compared to the size of the mountains which you think is odd, but... living in a flat country below sealevel I am not used to mountains 
Over all I think it is a nice background you've created.

I live in a really flat part of the US, so I have no clue either. xD I think it might be the size though... They look a little too big to me.

What you pointed out that you didn't like isn't really that bad. I do have a problem with the way the mountains fade into the sky. It doesn't look natural. It looks like it was just "soften" or slightly erased. And the area where the left and right mountain range meet (it's slightly off center) also looks a little "odd". I don't know how to quite explain those two areas, but that's what I see that is problematic. Otherwise, it's a good landscape.

I see what you mean with the off center part, but isn't it sort of balanced out with the location of the tree?
And here's the funny thing about the mountains: I actually didn't touch that at all. xD All I did was brighten it. If you look at the original stock picture, they actually fade out like that. (Low hanging cloud maybe?

Yep, I see what you mean. I think the mountains and that center area changed when you brightened them. Sometimes when you brighten an area, something that is already white, you'll loose the edges. That maybe what happened.

Oh yeah...I think you're right. I'll look out for that next time.
