Very nice, but the diamond sparkles may be a bit too subtle given that diamonds are an explicit part of the song's title.

Love that marmalade sky

Did make the sparkles in her eyes a little stronger. The two filters over them tend to reduce them. Thanks DL for your comment!

nice

very nice.............

You may want to whiten the cloud on the third girl so it doesn't look like an eraser mark... just a thought.. very cute Idea and image

i really didn't want to shock or offend with any sort of nudity, so i had to be careful about how much i let show through the clouds. She was faced in a direction that showed her lower regions, and i found this to be a little more tasteful way of covering that up.

Thank you for your comments. I took it back and did a guassion blur to that layer and it seems to have helped lighten them up without exposing too much.

whiten.. not lighten.. hehehe.. but your vision is fine!!! (the blue cloud covering her naughty bits looks more like eraser marks) but that is IMHO!! good luck author

:lol: right right. whiten. got it. Thank you again. i whitened them a bit. seems to give more depth to the piece. always appreciate your comments!

I like the colorizing of your vintage pics. (BTW are your sources mislabeled?) Your SBS doesn't explain what the white lines are all about. Why are the diamonds only in the lower half of the image? It seems a little odd that the side girls are obviously hanging from something but the middle girl appears to be standing on something in the middle of space. [Better choice IMO: a girl on a swing.] Diamonds floating in the sky have nothing to cast a shadow on, so your drop shadows merely make it look like they're hovering just in front of a picture of clouds. The fuzzy near clouds over the naughty bits seem out of place with the in-focus near girls and far clouds. (And shouldn't your title say "Sky" singular?)

Good work.

haha. sources ARE mislabeled. i will get that fixed up when i upload the next yet again revised edition. :-P thank you for your comments and critiques. you've given me some things to work on, Dan.
Just a few answers to some of your critiques though... first off.. lucy takes center stage, and since this is all fantasy, she can be standing on a cloud. after all. this is Lucy in the sky with diamonds. nothing can be what it appears. The diamonds...well, they are supposed to be "rain" which is why i chose the shape that i did. the white lines are lens flares. i explained that in the last step.

I really like this one.. the softness is awesome....and I agree with the author on this is "Lucy in the sky with diamonds. nothing can be what it appears" I feel the lady in the middle is perfect...

cooool

Great job.....love the colors and have to love those vintage ladies.......GL

nice......... all the best..........

nice transformation!
