the Sky /layout - A or B?

A



B

[DragonmasterDan]

I prefer B

[storino03]

B looks better. the mountains create that safe feeling that I would assume people would build houses along the same 'side' for various reasons.

a

B

[Necromancer]

I've no real preference, so I voted corndogs.

The sky in A draws your eye into the picture. The sky in B draws your eye out of it.

^^^ this. It's a very important detail, and since this is for a scene in which the viewer is coming into the village, then A is preferable for this scene.

And now I want corndogs.

A looks better since the taller hut against the sky balances out the mountain, composition wise, that hut functions like a second mountain rising up. Also, the huts and tree line and mountain all flow together. Because the background elements are opaque, the tree line and mountain also work together to give the impression of perspective, as though they areflowing off into the distance. The tree line in the B pic balances out the mountain in a more 2D way, but the A pic feels more natural.

[Arkhan]

A.  for what sunteam paulito said

[Nando]

\The tree line in the B pic balances out the mountain in a more 2D way, but the A pic feels more natural.

I thought I could balance it that way and give it some tension, but after stepping back from it for a while, I like A as well.

Thanks all!

[TheOldMan]

I vote A. It has a more balanced feel to it.

[BlueBMW]

I like the sheltered look the mountain gives the village in B so I picked that one

[Keranu]

A because I just do.

I like that it suggests an order of levels. You start out in the village, then head through the dark forest, to the foreboding black mountains.
