This is cute, but would have been better if the newspaper ads were about pets, rather than real estate...

Hehe I know, but sources weren't so gentle this time!

Very cute. I find the newspaper ads distracting. I'm not so keen about the paper texture either, especially when it makes it appear that the tree, grass, road, truck, skyline, and sky are the same piece of paper and not different layers after all. I prefer Step 8 (with maybe slightly stronger shadows).

Granted! No more textures! How is it looking now?

Nice to see the newsprint gone. It's a lot cleaner looking.

I like the stronger shadows but the texture is still distracting 'noise' to me. I think the texture needs to be just barely noticeable so the surface doesn't seem to be quite perfectly flat. I would also like the different blue bands in the sky shine through. (More contrast could add more punch overall.)

On closer scrutiny, why doesn't the claw 'thumb' cast a shadow on the squirrel tail? And the truck driver could cast some shadow on the truck.

My concept was to have something like pieces of paper that together forms the image. The truck plus the driver and the claw along are a layer, the cat's another, the bird's another... you get it. The shadows are there because without them I found my composition pretty dull, same for the noise filter.

Thank you! That was the idea
