This is great! You did an excellent job pulling this together with lighting and visual effects, and I think you created a very dramatic and compelling image. I really like the more aerial view looking over the forest and the lake and I love the darkness that you added the the image. It really contrasts with the bold lighting bolt coming down and hitting the trees. I also think the framing with the dark cave is very interesting and overall this is a very unique composition. I think the main things to focus on are the edges around elements like the cave and the rock. I like how you created a glow from the lightning bolt and I think it just needs to be a bit more refined. I would try and make it more subtle by using adjustment layers of Curves for the shadows and highlights. I would also maybe add a bit more of a darker vignette to the top corner. Mainly, you just want to create these interesting lighting effects and have them look as believable as possible. But these are just some ideas to experiment with or keep in mind for your next project. Overall, great work and I really like the moody and dramatic atmosphere that you created in this piece. I hope you keep going and exploring more of what you can create with digital collage. Cheers!
