very pretty image author... baby is very sharp compared to the back ground she is sitting on.. edge blending could help unless this was your goal... it just seems the baby is so defined and everything around is dusty and fuzzy.. (IMHO).. it's a really great concept author.. GOOD LUCK

thx for ur comment drivenslush, i changed the baby a bit with highpass, dunno why but it worked lol and a gradient and blended the edged of it, hope it looks better this way

Lovely image and I like what you did to soften the baby!

You should source cite the tutorial you followed for the main light effect. Since you used the same forest source image, it's pretty obvious.

thx to ghitulescu radu for using image

Very cutie!

If that green part is supposed to be the light, it looks like only a colourful line to me..You can lit it up and then it will glow

@velkanx : I've fix this entry as you suggest .. thx for your suggest ..

uw, it looks nice

Good work on the green glow!

@arca: no green glow now .. I've changed into a purple glow..

Very interesting composition ... the outline around her could be softened a bit ... it is a little rough in Hi res (using the blur tool on a very low setting can help eliminate this and/or a low setting clone over the outline helps too).

Edit: Clever solution to the issue

ok thanks arca

TA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..

I thought you could do much better than that , with all the nasty comments you make...

Sorry you don't like it, Lamantine. I had fun creating it.
My comments aren't "nasty." I don't insult members, although I point out what I see, good AND bad. Maybe your skin's a little too thin, eh?

Feel free to offer specific suggestions on how to improve the image. Merely being snarky about what you THINK doesn't do much to help make it better, since everyone has different opinions.

Ok ok. I admit that the background is nicely done. But you have kind of spoilt it will all your effects. I think something like Step 10 in your SBS might look better. But as you said, that's just in my opinion.

Love the concept and the way you have blended the shading his face and hands ...also very clean cut.

I am not sure about the Planet/stars inside the body outline. IMO they are not quite "starrish" enough. They look a little more like water bubbles or balls to me... great idea though!

Good work, good SBS.

I like the stars on his hands, the concept is very nice. But I agree with arca about the smaller stars; maybe if they were more "sparkling", with a glow...

Nice effects! But I can't say the same about the girl's fashion... argh!

i love the girl coz thats the reason why is that this becomes good
