I'm trying to get more into / better at photo manipulations. This is my first attempt at a "nature" manipulation and my second manipulation period (though it was stated that my first is not actually a manipulation and just an image with a few edits, so this could technically be my first I guess).....

Anywho... Entire thing is crafted out of other things and duplicates, though I'm guess you'll probly be able to see that.

Here it is:





It's early stage overall, I plan to add things to this to make it more interesting. As it is now it's something that could have been taken with a camera, so kinda boring.

Would love some opinions on how it looks so far. Coloring, shading, etc... Does it look pretty natural to you guys, or is it plainly obvious that it was crated from several different things? (To my novice eye it looks pretty natural). Any tips/advice to go along with the criticism would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
