Congrats George very well done, can you please tell us the trick, how comes when you put 2 dots in each corner you can get a pattern? (if it is not too difficult to explain)

oh oh ! first and second !! you are the best man

No... I am just a participant.... the one who learn from any one of you all. Your work in inspiring too, as all the works participating... thanks for being here and for bringing us your art....

good work G55 and congrats on 2!!

Congrats George

I like the idea. Good use of source. Needs work on the shadows, particularly the ashtray (incense holder) and the sun. The sun's drop shadow doesn't fit as it creates light "sources" from many directions. Also maybe the ashtray can be darkened a bit at the bottom so it doesn't look like it's floating. Same w/ the lemon. If you are going to work with a light source, make one side lighter and one side darker of all the objects in the Chop. In this Photoshop, since the objects are already "light", you will probably only have to darker certain areas. Make the shadows (and shading) more of a "gradient" as the ones you have used on the ashtray and plate are pretty solid black.

I like what i see, check the shadow and perspective on that incense burner and tone the brightness of the smoke down a little. I think you can do it, even if it is hot man.

Congrats!

Congratas on 2nd. Hope your AC gets fixed! I don't even have one.

Congratulations George. The sun and moon look great.

Nice job, congrats George.
