update (before I saw your crit monkey, more work to be done)
Alrighty, I'll dim it down, I was considering the same actually.
I think i may make the gate the focal point instead, the bit on the tower is more to show its form with some dramatic lighting more than anything. I've kinda spilt it onto the new tower and gate a little bit, i tried a more general light before and it looked washed out and strange. Will keep playing with it and post what I find.
What about the composition isnt working? honestly i stopped doing actual grids for rule of thirds a while ago, and im trying to get out of the habit of having everything rule of thirds (though I know it works 60% of the time, everytime...). I can play with the comp a bit more though, may be painful at this stage. I think maybe the tower would be too cramped if i did but will try it out.
Hopefully the bridge helped a bit with the 2d look, but will see if i can use perspective to bring out more 3d in it, good point.
Ermegherd so much love for jamie jones, he makes my art senses tingle....
Gonna leave this for tomorrow now, thanks for the crit as always :)
