Hi Sally - the eye of the dragon is on the right, close to the middle and the mouth at the bottom right. Hope it helps. Thanks for trying so hard!

Wonderful textures and depth enriched by an amazing contrast between color temperatures for a very pleasant composition.
Well done, Joggie!

I've even printed this out - I can't see the dragon - all I can see is a couple of snarling wolves heads on the lower right - I'm not going to sleep now until I've seen it!

Wow, really excellent. Reminds me of an illustration from a Fairy Tale book. Love the colour of the rock. It glows. Great, Cheers, Ann.

Wonderful colours and great textures, Joggie.

Yes, I can see the dragon. Such an evocative image!

The light temperature has quite a range here, going from a very cool look in the foreground to a nice warm orange in the background. Do you think this would work better with a more even balance throughout?

Hey, A fellow south african, I'm also from SA, western cape, but stuck in "Greytown"...London and improvising while the light is bad here and gagging to return. Your work is not only inspirational, but plucks a sentimental chord. thanks
