The Ruins of Mourning
Alrighty. This here is my first posted MOC. I've been building for a while, but since I also play with my creations, they are often rebuilt before the camera is available. I have a bit of a story line that is in need of a lot of tweaking, which I may post later.
Here it is!
Be honest! I can take it!
Thanks!

Nicely overgrown, though I'd like a little wider-angle shot that shows the whole thing.

Looks nice, the foliage is good.. lots of nice green leaves in there.
The stautues look odd next to each other, but that is TLC fault for changing the colours.
One thing though, can you reduce the size of the pics at all? they took me a while to load.

I like what you've created. The flowers and immense growth create a sense of melancholy and loss. Further, the two remaining statues in the front contrast sharply with the sence of ruin to create an even greater effect.
However, I recommend that you take smaller pictures next time.

Re: The Ruins of Mourning
Very, very, very good. My one gripe has been mentioned several times -- get smaller pics!!!!! Also, we need an 'overall' photo taken from further back. At least for me it helps put the detail pictures in perspective.

Thanks, everyone!
Uh...I'm relatively new at this...I had no idea the pictures were that big when I posted them. They have been shrunk. My dad knows his camera much better than I do. I don't know how to work with all the settings yet. For reference, it's a Canon D-10.
Hey Dragon Master--I actually have a little tomb that I use on occasion. But it's actually white, and I really wanted to portray the idea of a battle went bad. Kind of like a tree falling in the woods.
The basic idea with the skeleton and the two statues was the idea of a soldier and a lady, forever seperated but never apart. He was killed, and never came home.
The translucent blue bricks are fresh from the Bellvue PaB. Actually, the bricks and plates are all from there.
