very nice overall, however the pile of rocks to the left of the road looks funny, like they should have fallen over but didn't.

What parts of this are photo and what parts are painted? Obviosly the castle is painted, but is anything else?

Looks great! :applause: I don't know much about matte painting, which parts of this image are purely photoshop?

Here's the 'before and after' so you can see what was added.

Very seamless work!

The castle has a "fairy-tale" feeling to it.

I was thinking about it some more, and I realized the mountains on the right side of the tree look like they are being lit very differently from the one on the left side. Perhaps a little of lightening and yellowing to match colors better.
