Description
Save The Castle sends the brave soldiers against fierce dragons in an attempt to save their castle from destruction.I wanted to create something that told a story and really draw the viewer into the photo. I hope I did that with this one and I hope you like it.
I recommend downloading the full res image to really see the details.
Tons of people to thank for their GREAT stock on this one:

Well.......this is an hard work! I know how is hard search for right subject....this part need hours and hours!!!
I can tell u are very excellent working on composition!!! U got a great eyes to create "interactive" visual story.....and this is very very important!! About this "interactive" topic i had spoken a bit here
[link] So u had done an excellent work creating contact for example with knife fighting the dragon on the left! Etcc...(The archer on the high tower......where is he pointing? Too straight!! 
I have understand very good which are ur actual problems......they are normal because these works are very hard!
U need only enhance the work on tones and the work on depths. There are some subject with different tones (shadows-highlights) they dont receiving the right ambiental light! (there are 1000 modes to solve this: match color or color balancing or exposure etc...)
About the depth u can create a sort of ambiental depth effect using off-set or some solid color or gradient or some fog texture etc....Some enviroments need depth and ur enviroment need depth!! Id ont know if this [link] will help u to understand my words........
my engl not is good good
ohh and yes u got a fantastic imagination and ideas!!!
For this reason id like add u on my friend list.
See u next

Thanks so much for your comments Lyuk, they are very much appreciated. I agree with you that a photomanip should tell a story and draw the viewer into the photo and give the feeling and a sense of being there. That's what I was trying to portray in this manip. And you are correct I am a very detailed person in everything I do so it's only natural for my eye for detail to spill over into my photomanips. Lighting and shading are two things I'm still working on so I can only hope to get better as I go. Thanks again for your input and adding me to your watch.
