This one was a great entry and a nice compilation. The only thing that didn't really work for me was the fact that the lighting on the unicorn comes from the opposite direction as the lighting on the ground. That may have been what kept this back a bit. Overall great work though!
Makes me want to write a fantasy book and have you illustrate it... beautifully done .. I am in awe.. my own entry pales beside the excellence of yours! Bumping up to a 10
The composition is above average and is appealing to look at. I love the magical feel/mood captured in this image. There is without a doubt a-lot of work put into piecing this together. Some elements are photographic in nature while others have an illustrated look; indeed it reminds me of a cover for a folder that I had way back in high school, but that was a pegasus. Again, I give this high marks for composition and the magical feel this projects. However I wish that there was more attention to lighting in that all elements had the light fall or are light in a realistic manner. I think that is one area that becomes problematic with moving it out of a the photographic realm and more into the digital art realm. The separate elements all have different light and shadow. What I mean by that is that if you look at the unicorn the shadow falls upon the bottom of the head and torso - that should also be seen on the cliff face. But it is not, the top snow covering is lit correctly to match the unicorn but the rest of the rock cliff face should fall into more shadow.
