hello all ,just wanted to share my vision.

about this image:

...lost in the silent cold in the middle of nowhere ,cyclopeans ruins lies here for eons ...full of dark secrets unknown to mankind...

Great feeling of cold isolation with this one. Great job! The only comment I have is that a little more variation to the mountains in the background might add some visual interest. I love this painting.

Great image. I like the atmosphere and the ruins.

But I think there's something odd with the perspective of the three walking men. It took my attention.

Good work anyway...:)

RabHanno:thanks! glad you like it!
i've put everything toward the mood on this one...

about the characters perspective,it wasn't good in a precedent version
i've double checked and they are good on this one,the horizon line is low below or just in the clouds...anyway it's good to know for future works.

Sincerely,
I have no sense of depth in this painting, try to work better with the background color, because it seems that the ruins are glued mountain.
It is noticeable that you repeated the ruins, thereby undermining the correct perspective of the environment. Also affect the correct application of light and shadow, to ruin the back has a different view of what is in front.
Keep up the good work!
