This is my first photo manipulation and I thought it turned out pretty well, but I wanted to get your opinons, suggestions, and critiques. What do you think? It was so much fun to make! ;)

Hey guys! I changed the lighting/star a little. I removed the light beam, and added a bit of light to the top of the mountain. I left the background still pretty dark, because I actually liked it against the brightness of the star because it seemed to give it a more dreamy/storybook feel. Anyway, what do you guys think about this?:

Simple. The light from the moon/star shouldn't make the objects below it white-y or something. It should reflect the objects, make it glossier or more metalic or anything according to it's material. The background looks like it's been cut from a story book.

The lighting (weak one at that) seems to be coming from the left, yet it's still not being illuminated from that bright star on the right. There would be lighted edges on the clouds as well as the mountain edge. The 'star' looks as if pasted on and the light ray feels distracting and isn't illuminating the plant on the bottom left well. Somehow I like the muted tone to an extent but it doesn't suite well in the image. If you do keep the ray of light, make it so it doesn't have such hard edges and is blended in moderately. Unless it's a spotlight being aimed at, or hard sunlight among a dense canopy with light sneaking in, that hard directional light doesn't happen often and more less at night and not so strong when there's already a light coming from the left side as well that's illuminating a whole lot. However, a good attempt considering it's your first photomanipulation. :)

Looks too dark, the clouds need to be lighter, the ray of light is also distracting.
