Dragon Palace Bookmark

There is a fascination with dragons. We can't seem to get enough of these mystical creatures. I have done my fair share of them, mainly closeup portraits. This is my first capturing a scene with a dragon. The background was a distraction, so I got rid of it. It did not add to the picture. I replaced it with air as if you are looking through an open window. I wanted the main focus to be on the Dragon and the Castle/Palace. Since this is a bookmark, I am limited to the detail of the dragon. The dragon chosen was a bit of a challenge, since it is long and narrow, but it had to be a Japanese/Chinese dragon to match the castle. There is enough detail to show the scales as it perches on the castle. The cherry blossoms balances the dragon's reds as the grayscale castle is sandwiched between them. I have two print profiles below. It is the same STL. One is brighter red and the other more of a muted maroon. I like maroon, but most will side with the bright red as it better adds contrast
