Hello Trekkers!
Again, I've played around with one of the most important architectural landmarks in Edinburgh, the St. Giles Cathedral! I just love this building and have let my imagination flow! :)
I used several reference photos and brushes to get the desired result! ... and long hours spent in front of the monitor! :)
See original in the workshop!

N-joi! :)

A fantastic shot, Tom ; I like too much.Your ppwork is great and everthing of this work is worth congratulations; amazing colour too which increases the fantasting and amazing effect.

Hello Tom.
This is amazing work showing your great imagination and PP skills. Excellent tones, dramatic sky. I love the waves crashing against the rocks.
I think that the only issue here is the proportion between the cathedral and the lighthouse. They are very close to each other and the lighthouse seems to be smaller than a statue in front of the church.

Fantastic work, Tom, I love this result, it's real artwork this way, congrats - perfect!

I am sure that many Christians would think that this is not only an interesting composition but also speaks to the mission of the church in the world ie a refuge and built on the rock ages.
Lovely work. TFS
warm regards

Kia ora ToM
I catch you here again!! How are you?
And EXCELLENT PP work - Many hours?? Yes! The result is great - clever you.
It looks like a very deep dark stormy night and the Cathedral looks like it lives on the rocks and waves.
Well done

Hey Tom, what beautiful PP work you have done here.. well done to you, and I can imagine how long you must have sat in your chair at your computer!! my hand would have been totally numb! if I had of sat that long.. but I would not get this result, that you have.

It looks amazing! and I have walked up this street(workshop Photo) here and seen this beautiful building.

I do love the light from the lighthouse and how it beams out to the waves.

Top marks my friend.

Kia Ora
