I have done a few photomanips like this one before, but deleted all of them from DA LOL But finally, I am happy with this one even though there are still some noticeable flaws in the background (oh wells~)

Man, now I really have to try my own landscape manip! Since I haven't personally done one yet, to be honest, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to give about technique, but I'll try my best.
I noticed that you chose a moderately difficult stock set to work with. Tree lines themselves are hard enough, but you also did a separate main-focus tree. Nicely done for such difficult work. On a first impression, the manip looks very well done- the lighting matches very well, the tree is pretty well cut out, et cetera. Upon looking further, though, I first noticed the faded eraser effects on the edge of the tree. I don't know if this was intentional as a way to better manip the tree into the scene, but I would maybe consider trying something else next time. The blending between the poppy field and the grass before the trees section (by the way, I wasn't really sure where the grass field came in, unless it was here- out of curiosity, where was it used?) looks a little off to me- I mean, it looks good, but I feel like it could be better, you know? Sorry that, as I said, I can't suggest a technique. Maybe using a light faded eraser brush on the edge of the poppies? Idk.
Overall, I really liked this. You should do this more often, and not delete all of them (lol). Keep up the awesome work!

Yeah - I'll try to improve on the erasing effects and use lighter brushes
Thankyou : D
