I hate to say it bit I prefer the mist in the first image.
The texture of the eagle is better in the second one and your other 
things have been designed intelligently to evolve good camouflage. ;-)

Yes, the original eagle wings were wrongly textured by Poser, so I had 
to go back to nature. Still have to do something about the tail.

The way of the World, I'm afraid.

Wonderful work again!

Like Stephen I prefer the first version of the smoke but the second version of
the stone texture. The eagle gives the scale to the picture so I can see no
scaling problem. May it be Gwaihir, who must have the size of a condor at least.
But he still has blueish tail feathers which is not natural I think. On the
other hand you need to contrast the bird against the brown texture of the
stones. With the more or less brown feathers of a golden eagle you cannot get
this contrast. The black feathers makes the bird recognizable and may be this is
the best compromise. But due to this issue I liked your first picture better.
Why not have a fantasy eagle with blue-green feathers as with the first picture?

Best regards,
Michael

Everything considered, this would be the result.

Don't know if it's a difference in our monitors or our tastes, but "levels >
auto" in Gimp brings out rich colors and details I didn't notice before.

Well, /that/ completely changes the image :-) What it does is giving 
more contrast to the colours it seems.

Nice, but I am not sure if I like that more, though...

Definitely an improvement. I think the texture on the rock and eagle are 
better. Funny I only noticed the animals (deer I assume) on this image 
and had to look back to see when you added them. Say's a lot about my 
powers of observation.
