The impact was strong..like at the previous work.
He did an awesome work, combining all this things that we're used to see in a fairy tail : like big mushrooms ,beautiful landscapes,dream like clouds.
i'm not a professional in photomanipulation,telling the truth i never made one, but i admire PM works .
This time i have some objections:
1.The Gigantic indicator makes the mushroom seem not soo tall like kire wanted to make them.
2.Also i think the flowers should be smaller..i don't know why..may be it would look more fantastice.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
3.if the mushrooms would grow up from a forest..and the trees would be way smaller than them..it would create the feeling of a fortress of pixies or fairies e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
Anyways the piece is awesome!

Hi,
thanks a lot for your kind critique and of course your suggestions. The size of the sign is indeed a point I didn't calculate. I might consider your advice in the future.
Cheers,
kire

I should try to say something more constructive. The vivid colours is what makes it fairy tale-like (or psychadelic) but is at the same time what makes it unreal (more so than the giant mushrooms in fact!). The greenish shadow under de largest mushroom is great. It I were you I would find another stock for the water. Unless you want this specific look. It looks to flat and painted though it may not be. It looks kind of like household plastic, the opaque plastic film you wrap food with, don't know what it's called in english. Other than that a great cosy picture, I can envision a vacation on that island...

thanks for the critique, it's really appreciated! I can see what you're talking about with the water. Maybe I'll give it a shot one day and update this piece. There are a couple of other things I'd like to improve as well.
