Good idea, but the background overpowers the image.

Thanks mate.. updated with a darker Background.

Love the ice cotton! Made me laugh!!! Fun entry.

Uhm, i never heard of puppet warp, but i'll google it. When liquefy gives you those wawes adjust it with a pen selection. I hate liquefy!!!

Great construction author...extra points for the idea...best of luck

A few observations: How have you used source 1? The arm with the orb should be darker to blend with the figure. A red tint isn't the best choice for a snow scene...blue would probably be better. Also, an adjustment layer to improve the contrast might work. GL.
Edit: SBS would be even better.

Many thanks CMYK46, i appreiciate your input as always. Source 1 is the small monk. I put this on late last night and now i'm looking at it with 'fresh' eyes i think there is too much red. I will see if i saved this as psd file and upload a SBS (haven't done SBS before) I take all your comments on board and will see what i can do to improve this image (it needs it) Many thanks,

Folds on dress don't match angles of the steps. Ghostly figure in background detracts from overall image.

the green outside light on the lady is not usefull...

For me...it does have a purpose the green light. I visualized her as a witch.
Green is a cold color.

Too dark. Your colors are inconsistent with the sepia effect. The left hand of the witch is too green for the rest of the figure. The render clouds over the background just makes the image "noisy" looking and does not add to the mood, and the castle in the distant background steals the focus from your witch, and looks very cut and paste due to the sharp focus amongst all those rendered clouds and the color intensity. Colors lose saturation with distance.

This is an interesting concept, but there is too much happening without sufficient focus and cohesion, especially color-wise.

this image would have been wonderful without the cloud effects in the air...

This is lovely to look at, but you have a few really obvious perspective issues. The dress ends on the steps above the urn on the right, but the dress is in FRONT of the base of the urn...Also the squishing of the frontmost urn at the bottom looks inconsistent and out of place with the rest of the image.

And the seagulls just look contrived, as they really don't belong in the scene...
