I'm seeing some real discrepancies in the shadows. Based on the background rocks, the ones under the cars are both softer and lighter, and the shadows inside the yellow car have hard edges. Also, the yellow and white cars further back have just about the same sharpness as the few closer ones. Interesting concept, though.

Hmmm, two upper-level choppers think my comment is valid. Reply »

Isn't the standard answer-slash-excuse supposed to be, "But, it's a FANTASY...?" LOLOL!
Works for a lot worse technical entries around here by a lot higher ranked members... If the crits about discrepancies in shadows and focus sharpness was applied to EVERY entry in this contest, not just this particular one, I think it would hold about as much water. Reply »

Author, this looked better in the original upload...the brighter version IMO. You also might want to check the words "Dodge" and "Tahoe" on the sides of those cars, they look bass ackwards to me. Reply »

@ lchappell: This is the exact same entry as the first, with the exception of the yellow car splashing into the water, which the mods asked me to replace. Nothing else was altered. Thank you for your nitpick on the Dodge logo. You missed the Tahoe logo on the foreground car, but since it"s too late to change, and it means so much to you, you have my humble apology. Reply »

I "Fav'd" this one from the beginning. Shadows and sharpness be damned, I think it's wonderful! Congrats! Reply »

Why do they fireballs have a border? Makes them look a little fake to me. Great idea overall, good luck. Reply »

Reply:

Good idea looks pretty good, I do sort of agree with Akassa about the edges on the fireballs though. Reply »

Reply:

The identical heads on all the fireballs also seem unrealistic, especially given the variety of tails they create. Reply »

Thank you for your generous constructive comments. Think it's too late for that :S, (should've used smart objects), I'll try to amend it for sure if possible. Had created the fireball first,so... else [denial]I'd just consider it to be an alien attack w/ identical alien ammo :P [/denial]

Either way, it's a new thing to keep in mind/learnt for future ventures. Thanks. Reply »

Soften the edge of the light beam on the child at right. The shadow should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise to match the light from the bulb. Bulbs on ground would have shadows. Reply »

You rotated the shadow about 45 degrees. Better than nothing, but you need to develop an eye for light sources.
