    Looks really cool, but the statue of liberty really needs more depth like blur or some blue grain going on due to the athmosphere. Now it looks like it’s really small in perspective.

      agree with Saro … there is no real depth to the final picture … the viewer has difficulty judging the distance of the statue from the man

    I don’t like the palm tree, feels more like a beach than a post-apocalyptic image :) otherwise it looks really nice!

    Great job. The only remark I’d like to make is the size of the statue. As Saro pointed out, it looks really small, as the man seems to be really close to it.

    Thanks for all your comments.

    There is a ‘Haze’ layer, which in hindsight I should have made more visible. For those of you working through the tutorial, increase the Opacity of this layer to around 45%.

    I don’t get the scale and proportion of the statue. It looks so small as we compare the dude standing next to it. Plus the birds are incredibly small :/
