Hi sorry, is it too late to give suggestions? The potential of this image is big
! My first and only remark if too late is that there would me a more immersive
feeling if silhouette of the castle had more bumpy details for slabs. That would
be a lot of work (maybe less for an HG POV displacement). So I hold my tong for
the other possible areas to work on and really appologize if it's too late, I
enjoy the meteorological effect of clouds falling down to rain a lot, and the
slopes of distant hills , and the grain on the rusty metal bar and the position
of wooden ramp to compose image into depth.
