Lovely image ... the only thing, IMO ... I think there would be more yellow toned light cast from the lamp on her face and dress (especially since her dress is white). There might also be some light hitting her from the glass door. Also, the door would probably cast light on the ground in front of it and on the planter. Just a thought ... nice work though!

EDIT: MUCH BETTER! Great work! Reply »

ok arca thx for ur comment, made the adjustments u mentioned, hope it looks better now Reply »

It looks AWESOME. I'm not particularly fond of the noise around the moon and in the sky - I think stars can be rendered more effectively another way. Arca's suggestions and your improvements make this top-notch. SBS?

Update: Sky looks so much nicer without the noise. Reply »

u were right elemare, bout the noise, changed the sky to black and painted som starts, noise around the moon is gone now Reply »

Nice combination of romantic and spooky. I think a brighter moon and young woman would add more drama and create a stronger focus. If the moon is the primary light source, this side of the central chimney and balcony walkway should be in shadow and should cast shadows. You haven't provided a source for the moon which has a distracting edge glow. Reply »

thx for ur comment Dan, but imo a brighter moon would distract from the rest, and an even younger woman? This one is in imo bout 25, seems young enough for me> And bout the source for the moon; i made it myself and told that in the description box Reply »

Needs to be seen in hi-res to be fully appreciated. This is a very good start, but the spread of the various lights needs work. The left and right windows should allow a lot more light on to the left and right sides of the lawn. The right exterior porch light doesn't seem to provide much illumination on the lawn at all. The very bright and very white foreground post lamp is illuminating very little.

I suspect the post lamp has a solid top and bottom so it can only spew light out its sides. Ergo, it can't illuminate the post it sits atop. (I recommend a nighttime stroll around your neighborhood to see how different lighting-fixture configurations cast light.)

Some sort of over-exposed interior inside the windows would be more realistic as well. And why not throw in some stars to make the sky more interesting? Reply »

hi-res is uploaded! and i made some changes and i think now it's better! Reply »

superb entry author...well done Reply »

very good entry author....GL!! Reply »

Very arresting but this does strike me more as using a daytime pic to create a dramatic, fantastic night scene rather than transforming the day scene to a night version. Reply »

Hmm. I guess you got a point there. I forgot to view the tutorial after i opened Photoshop. I got stuck in my chair with my eyes focusing only at my conest entry the following hours.

Thank you for commenting Dan Reply »

You should blur the moon's edges a little so it doesn't look so sharp. Reply »

very cool image author, but with the moon this big and placed there, tree would be covered with the moonlight...GL Reply »

Interesting. I think moving the moon to the left would balance the compositon more and add more drama as more branches would block it. I would expect the torches to cast an oranger light. Reply »

thanks DanLundberg for ur comment i made some changes i hope that is better ,,,,
