===== From kingofmycastle@gmx.net: Nice sky and ground. ===== From mark.wagner17@gte.net: The scale of this scene is inconsistent. The cracked mud ground makes the castle look very small and nearby, but by your description, it is large and in the far distance. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: How does this relate to the concept of fortress? A fortress is not an object that resembles a castle. . . they may be two different ideas. Centering is usually too obvious to be interesting. . . you have to give the viewer something to think about in terms of placement.
