nice

real forest atmosphere :)

 The colours are used perfectly and the scene is very well made 

 Love it.

 It's so beaultiful....

The atmosphere is just awesome, perfect use of colors!

I am aroused by the epicness. Only thing I don't like is the dithering in the clearing.

Yeah, and having a figure in it would add a ton of implied background story.

This keeps reminding me of ZELDA II: Adentures of Link, like it could be box art for the game or something.

crit: concerning the middleground trees - some of the lowest boughs feel far too thick; disproportionate considering the trunk's width. And you got jaggies/seemingly unrefined AA in the rocks and lightest grass blades below the large rock.

Stunning!

 Looks great!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!

This looks goooooood.  Only crit is the color count, seems unnecessarily high.

Totally sweet! I love this whole concept.

 I loved the way you paint the trees, that's fantastical.

Good job, I love the grass

neat result... good job...

I agree with Skamocore. Reducing the palette could help you gaining contrast and of course a more interesting shading.

The grass around the stones is just great.

that looks wonderful ^^

 I tend to agree with skamocore, the palette seems to be quite huge for the gamma of colours you've used. but that's definitely a nice composition and scene. Well done with the grass too.

Your color edit looks really nice and all, but it has a different atmosphere.

A good scene, but I think you could have played around with the colours a bit more; particularly, in terms of the contrast. I made a bit of a colour edit.

 I like the stone and the bark but I think the clear winner is that beautiful, fluffy grass.

Waiting for King Arthur.

Wow, reminds me from a dozen good RPG:s. Beautfiul scenery, although the trees in the BG could be more brownish.

WOAH

Apart from the dithering in the background, this looks like it could be a miniature painting. Love the way you did the bushes; very impressionistic.

Cool...       

Wow, nicely done and cool concept!

Thanks guys.

When I started this I meant for it to only be rocks, when I added the sword I didn't even realize the likeness to Excalibur. Also I wanted to make something that seemed untouched by man for a change but I like the idea of having some person off in the distance, maybe searching for the sword.

I love faded forest bg's.

Why not a shadowy figure silhouette in the bg? COMEON

The Arthurian legend might be present in that picture, am I wrong? :) Really great colors and atmosphere.

Great atmosphere!
