Hi Jayesh!
My name is Kaustav Sinha from Kolkata,India.I too am a newcomer in this field!I looked at your Painting,and found it quite upto the mark!I think if you can add a lighting in the sky,the atmosphere would look more realistic! I found a fault in your painting,like on the left hand side of the final painting,the trees are trimmed out,and can be guessed that there was something out there which you removed.It looked like a smudging spot.I think either you completely remove that part by using the clone stamp tool or you can even extend the trees there or perhaps build some more structures,like walls etc.Otherwise,the concept of trimming down some part of the top roof seemed quite nice!Nice use of the rain effect!I guess you probably used noise!
