Thank you for your comment. I had difficulty with the shadows because there seemed to be almost none in the photo itself to guide me as to where they should lie. I will go back and experiment.

you don't see any shadow, but you see the light make a low opacity shadow in the good direction
I've had a go at the shadows, but I'm still not really satisfied with the result.
im trying to vote. i wish i knew if you added all those faces on the trees and in the trees expecially the giant Gandolfe they are approaching on the right or just added the people on a cool shot ? at a quick glance i see way over a dozen faces i bet i find 40 tonight
Great composition.
well here is a tutorial on shadows, it may be helpful to you. Shadows
Yes, I added the faces of the Ents (and the raven). It was just an ordinary photograph that I took while on holiday in New Zealand. Link here: http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/5238/hobbitforest900.jpg
Thanks, krrish, for the link to the Shadows tutorial.
