Nice mood. The only possible problem is maybe that in the original girl photo her feet are hidden behind the seat of the bench (I guess because the seat is a bit lower in the middle), while in this image you can almost look upon the seat of the bench. Because of that, the feet look a bit chopped off, especially her left foot. In case you'd like to fix it (maybe give some elegant ballerina shoes?), would be great. Good luck! Reply »

This has a great cartoony feel to it, and disappointing lighting issues for such fine work... Reply »

on highres the single boards of the bord dont fit well, and it needs some finework in details. but i LOVE this picture! great idea author! Reply »

Really love the work on the eyes.. I'm not sure about the GIANT nail.. it took me a few minutes to realize what if was.. not that detracts from the piece in anyway... the face is SO expressive.. good luck on this.. it's a lot of fun

EDIT: NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A NAIL.. I didn't know how to tell you but in the original submission it looked like a giant deformed olive.. giggle snort..you should heard me trying to figure it out, I scared my cat..LOL much better now) (I make a lot of weird noises when I'm confused) Reply »

nice job on the expression and the large nail -- mouth and tongue a bit blurry Reply »

Reply:

lol thats funny/cool good luck Reply »

This is so much fun. I like the subtlety of strokes and lighting on the background. It almost looks like two light sources going on here; the drop shadow behind the board and left eye looks like light from above and to the left, the tongue, and the right eye look like light from above and to the right. The wood grain on the table and the board is great. Nice work! Good luck. Reply »

Okay, changed lots of things!!
-Changed size and shape of nail
-Shadows on eyes and wood adjusted
-Added eyebrows
-Sharpened mouth and tongue Reply »

Reply:

Dramatic . Funny outcome, cant see well, but you might want to use the side of the wood for inside the mouth too (so that the mouth looks less flat). The living wood's shadow is made with some greys? I'd use a blending mode, so you're still able to see the wood structure from the floor under. Good luck!

EDIT: shadow on the floor looks a lot better! Reply »

Changed blending of shadow underneath the piece of wood (thanks for all the suggestions ) Reply »

very very nice job you did really splended with the pictures. My suggestion would be that you tone down the reflection quite a bit. Gl Reply »

Reply:

the mood of this graphic is awesome. Very well done. And good luck. Reply »

Reply:

I like your source use, but a little close to the water. Might want to try a displacement map for the reflection because its a little too perfect for rippled water. That being said, I like your efforts. Reply »

Reply:

Great job on the shading! Reply »

Reply:

This is simply elegant. Recommend pulling the reflection a little closer to the waters edge and adding a ripple or displacement (as pingenvy said) Reply »

I just love the colors on this one. Great job! Reply »

The bench wouldn't have a reflection at that distance from the water. If you think you need to keep it, straighten it out... Reply »

Nice result, good use of colors. I agree with CMYK about the reflection from the bench in the water though. Good luck! Reply »

Would be better to crop out a lot of the "box" part of the image for better composition and to focus more on the figure. The green thing adds a nice color accent, but that's about all...
(PS: It's a sphere). Reply »

great job Reply »

That's gotta be GROVER.. has to be Grover.. this is so cool. and whats the Green Snake thingy .. is it suppose to be a snaike or a thread.. Oh I don't care.. it's all pretty cool.. I like it... and I'm sure it's Grover.. only made of wood Reply »

This could be great if pseudo vegetation & obvious rendered clouds were improved...love the color. Reply »

Thank you CMYK46. I will try to correct it...if I have the time. lol.. Reply »

Reply:

The wall, color scheme, the kid all good(height of the kid.........from ground.......little problem is there), cloud and the plant need more improvement. Reply »

Reply:

Agree with CMYK about the clouds. First think I noticed. They kind of detract from an otherwise excellent peice. Also, you might try staggering the fence pickets so the wood grain doesn't line up to give it some randomness. Reply »

Reply:

Beautiful, I enjoy the dreamy and nostalgic feeling here Reply »

Reply:

I KNOW RENDERED CLOUDS are a no no, but these actually work in the NON PS world.. when printed they give off a great storm feel, though in PS contests it's better to create/find your own... or use them as a base for another effect.. I really love the work on this.. good luck Reply »

Reply:

Nice job i like, Though I would consider changing the fence just a little so that the white speck and wood grain aren't on the same line. Reply »

Reply:

I like this composition and mood a lot. You may want to clone out some of the knots & such in the wood so it doesn't look as cloned(ironically). Reply »

Reply:

Everything is nice, except for the clouds. I'd use a source image, or paint them with a brush. But that's just my opinion. Other than that, I really like it. Reply »

Reply:

I'm going to refrain from commenting on the clouds, because you've already been bombarded with comments. Lol. Very pretty. The colors suit it. Good luck. Reply »

Reply:

fence is well made and the blending of the images is very nice --(fence maybe a bit repetitive) Reply »

Reply:

Very nice. I'm glad you nestled the bottom of the fence into the grass. I'm thinking it could be a little better without the rendered cloud treatment - maybe make use of a cloud brush , add some variety to the boards of the fence to avoid the repetitive 'stamp' look. I love the colors and the mood. Nice work. Good luck! Reply »

Great feel and great work but a little to warm at least on the kid. Reply »

Reply:

Nice work, but as Alan said the fence is a bit too repetitive. If you could fix that (maybe with clone and healing tool?), would be great. Good luck! Reply »

Reply:

hmmm....I have made some changes. ...with the cloud and the fence. lol...but I was told (as a result of my carelessness) the girl image can not be used. If I am a faster worker I would have source for another image. As it is, I have decided to just post the image without the girl. lol..Thank you all for your comments. Very much appreciated. Reply »

looks great after removing the render clouds Reply »

thank you nishagandhi. lol...I could have make a better selection of the section of the clouds but .... I guess my eyes' begining to hurt looking at the same picture over and over again. Reply »
