Well, I checked it out earlier today at school, and I think it's fantastic!
Very good for your first story.  I was amazed how much image-editing you did
for it.  I particularly liked the ones where the LEGO path connected to the
"real" path, almost seamlessly.  The storyline was great, and I could just
imaging the evilish chanting of the monks.  (If you read it people, try to
keep that chanting sound in your head when the petals fall off the flowers.
Very powerful moment!  I was right then I realized that this bad guy was
pure evil!  I can't wait to see the next two chapters.

Left to the pros?  Man, you are a pro!  I started out just playing around
with Photoshop and started editing some of my LEGO pictures for my stories.
I'll admit that my first images weren't anything to brag about, but I feel
that I've gotten a lot better at it and have made some pretty cool images
for my stories.

It worked fairly well to smooth the edges, especially of the trees, to make it look more like one image and not like I just cut something out of a magazine and slopped it onto another picture. (...)
