The work is most definitely an impressive exercise in sense of scale, considering the relative heights provided by the cluster of trees in the foreground beside the temple/shrine. The building is wrought with unquestionable skill, and so stands as testament to the awesome power which the mountains beyond hold, for THEY far outshine the glories of the foreground. The twisted spires seem to claw at the very heavens, their rather sinister appearance downplayed by the softness of light and the presence of the cascading falls...

Make no mistake; the foreground is not to be cast aside in the shadow of the mountains. The forest is incredibly vast, and shadow is expertly employed to create a sense of depth and sway to the expansive canopy. Scattered hilltops are a welcome inclusion, breaking the monotony of the forested mid-ground, and reaffirming the sheer size of the mountains at the horizon.

The desaturated, haunting light provides a sense of isolation to the piece, perhaps of a place long forgotten...shades of Shadow of the Colossus certainly come to mind. That is NEVER a bad thing...

awesome! The clouds around the base of the mountains are very well done. I tried to paint steam in my last painting....didn't turn out half as good as your clouds did. Great work!

Try to smudge the clouds contures in Photoshop with the smugde-tool and go the brush-settings. give the smugde-brush a scatter and a wet contur and try a little bit... will work well

Auf jeden Fall vielen Dank
