I came across the image of the girl and her mother and wanted to create an image using it. I wanted to put flames in the girls eyes to show that she too was looking at a burning city. Her eyes were really dark and I wasn't sure how accurate it would be. Any suggestions are welcome. Th image of the city and bridge are mine. The following images are credited to stock found on Deviant Art. (5 years and 3005 days ago)

The image is very dark, hard to distinguish what's going on. Images often get darker when posted I suggest you lighten it up a bit to compensate.

It's a beautiful concept, of protection, motherhood... but I agree with Spaceranger; if you play with curves, for exemple, you will get a great image here.

I tried to brighten hopefully it doesn't look to grainy. Thanks for the suggestions.

Took quite a lot of work till I arranged everything the way I had it in my mind but I'm pretty happy with the result.

Techniques:
A lot of masking, color adjustments, to get the main color effect i used a gradient map from black over dark-turquoise to a creamy yellow to white. (everything with adjustment layers) I used the "lightning effects" filter and the burn tool to illuminate the tree branches right, same for the house. desatureted, added a soft vignette, blended everything (its best to use masks, a non destructive way to erease parts) and did a lot more I cant really remember.

Very nicely done. You may want to look at the bird source though, it appears to be copyright. Change that and you will have a very nice entry that will remain in the contest. It would be a pity to see it eliminated.

author says:

Thank you!
ow yea didnt notice that.. is it still a copyright abuse if I didnt actually use the picture but just made a selection of some of the birds and filled it with black? I dont quite know where copyright begins and ends.
/edit: Fixed it, it should be okay now.

You still have an issue with those birds as that image requires to be purchased to be used. You need to search for a free stock image. Use the "Resources" tab at the top of the page to take you to allowable sources. This link will also help http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/

This looks pretty cool. I belive the plants should be a little darker and have a shadow cast on the walls, and theyshould have a continuity, instead of a random grow.
