Hi,
I'm beginner in mattepainting.
Actually, I take pictures on the web and I work with Photoshop.
What do you think about my work?

Good start. Keep on keeping on and you'll get there!

I like the idea of the pic acting as buttons to see the before and after shots.
Sydney Harbour - Im not sure about those humongous mountains in the background. Maybe it's just because Im use to not seeing them there :P As stated by someone else on this forum somewhere, that lens flare isn't needed in the picture

Castle At Sea - I love this pic! Really well done and quite effective

Temple - these pics are also another lot of good ones

Lightning Bolt On Castle - don't like it because of the poor quality and Im curious as to why you moved the bridge and that big rock around for.

Last pic of the Castle - this one's good and pretty moody.

I like very much the last and the tempest (the second).

About the second, just a consideration:the big island in front of the beach should stop the waves.

Fot the fouth pics (eilean donan castle) you can find many many better shoot (higer quality) so your final work looks better.

You are a good beginner...i'd like to be a beginner like you.
