Interesting idea!

Like the concept. Foreground glass is a great idea to add depth. The filter end of a cigarette in an ash tray just peeking into the lower right corner of the scene might help better explain the cool smokey atmosphere. Her lighting is off, however. She seems to be slightly forward of the ceiling down lights, yet her front (including shins) are illuminated. I would: Get rid of the down-light ray cones and let those lights just be the wall washers on the brick wall that they are. Unflip the singer and add a spotlight on her coming in from the upper left corner, creating a stronger circle of light with her shadow in the middle on the brick wall behind her.

Some changes made...thanks Dan

I think this works much better. I would note that while we might be able to see the spotlight's housing from our vantage point, we should not see the bright bulb itself because it's primarily pointed away from us towards her.

I suppose she's singing a blues... or a sad song...

nice done

nice work...

very nice work author

great entry! gl

nice, good luck

good work

Nice idea, but the girl is floating, maybe you could rework her shadow?

Cat and the girl demands shadows...shadow on a cat is wrong and girl don't have any...good luck

Good work!

I agree with Erathion.

I know about the shadow problem. But I wanna create a different idea. You can see the room. I create only a line drawing for the room & it doesn't have any shadow. But rest of that all objects are realistic. So I use a low shadow for those object to make more comfortable with the room. But now I'm adding some dark shadow for the girl. And I've corrected the cat shadow. Hope you will like it. Thanks for your kind suggestion.

the white mood is awesome ! good luck author

great entry! gl

love wot u created here

Awesome ! best of luck ...

hehe I recognize this girl , nice entry and good source

Thank you all...

It's a bit sad because of too much dark but its great !

Not clear where the light on the figure is coming from. (Windows could not light his face and they would create a shadow angling away, not towards, the windows.)

IMO man's shadow is a bit sharp, comparing to wall's shadow... and needs more perspective, considering lighting source. But it's a good idea!

thank you all for your valued suggestion. I've changed some details, e.g. I added some more light to the man, I correct the sharpness of the shadow etc. But as the man is siting close to the window so the shadow will be not too much bigger, you can see the beam shadow. When I took this pic I used the same angle for the light as the window. But I changed something more for your suggestion. Thanks again. Your correction or suggestion is always a lesson to me. So please feel free to give comment.

I think this is better. I'm willing to accept light on the model's face on the side toward the viewer (opposite from the light of the window) as a necessary artistic decision, but I wish his shadow were more realistically to the right so we only see three quarters or maybe just a half of it. I don't know what the bulge shadow half-way up the right-side wall is, but I would clone it out because it's distracting.

nice mood

Ahha !! sad sad mood !! but nice work author ..

I love the mood on this, not sure about the amount of blur on the background compared to the model, yet it does make him the focal point which may have been the intention, nice entry
