Hi, this is my first good castle creation, and I'd love some feedback and C&C:

Hey Zac, great to see you on CC!

First of all, it is an excellent creation! I love the landscaping with the snow and you did an amazing job with the tower. I would've liked to have seen something done to remove the monotony of the water, but it looks fine. You have lots of great details and I really like the Roman atmosphere.

Nice work. The snow on the tree and bush and the plants growing out of the water are my favorite parts. The only criticism I would offer is about your photography. I've been finding that more than anything more light is better. I try to get the lighting to look good, then double it. It makes fine detail easier to see.

Using the claws embedded into the tree for snow is quite brilliant!

Ru Corder (Jacks100) used that technique first, with plumes.

Thanks for pointing that out, as I don't have time to keep up with each technique usage. :wink:

I still think the claws give a cleaner, layered snow effect.
