Mushroom Village - created by BWR


Mushroom Village
Favs: 1SBS: 30Hi-resRank: 1/3Score: 68.4% (39)9756 views

A heavy composite made from 32 source images. Please look at SBS. It's pretty cool. For some reason the image looks a bit fuzzy in this preview, so have a look at the Hi-res.

Updated with a grasshopper weather vane. I put it on the top of the list in the comments to make it easier for you to find.

Moderator says:

LOL... Now you know I don't hate you at all.... grrr apart from having to check 32 sources... it is up there with the most sources used. I must say I laughed when I found the fly, I checked the sources before looking at your sbs. Everything is AOK now.

author says:

I figure that checking sources can be a huge pain. Seemed like it took me half an hour just to post the image and sources. I bet it took you a while too, especially searching for that darn fly!! Haha . Whoever you are, I would like to thank you and all the mods for doing wonderful work here at PXLeyes. You have made my stay here most enjoyable.

Why are the previews that we see on this page sometimes fuzzy? Really, that preview does this chop no justice. They need to up the .jpg settings a bit IMO.

author says:

I downloaded the preview and it is 153KB at 954X826 px. As a test, I went to save my .psd at the same size using "Save for Web". To make it 153KB, I had to set it at 50% quality!! That's pretty horrible. Is there anything they can do about this? I doubt many people really look at the Hi-res and all they will see are these low quality previews. Maybe I should make a forum thread about this?

Moderator says:

Thanks. I don't know why, the preview always looks a bit soft, I always check the high res.

Love what you did here, but there's some sources which (color / saturation wise) jump out (like the stone where the BBQ is standing on). There's a plugin set by Nik software (owned by Google) which is free.
https://www.google.com/nikcollection/ The 'Color FX pro' is a great help to set mood to your image AND it helps blending those sources which stand out a bit.
When you download this plugin do download everything, because it is (still) free. This plugin has been sold to a French company last week and no clue if it stays free or not.

A request to help the mods:
if you make changes please use the red flag option to tell the mods what you changed so they do not have to recheck all the sources.

author says:

Rob. Whatever it is you are seeing, I can't tell. I spent a ton of time on this and lost 4 days of my life haha. I just messed around with the Nik Fitler for another hour and can't seem to make it better. I'm gonna go blind if I mes with this anymore.

I did run one of the Nik Filters called "Glamor Glow" which softened it up some. It looked good so I tried an old editor called "OnOne Perfect Suite 7" (OnOne perfect Effects4) and used a Diffuse Glow filter that was nearly the same, along with a Red Enhancer that mainly affected the mushroom caps.

Here is the image straight out of PS and before the OnOne Perfect Effects. Maybe you can mess with it and tell me what's wrong?

robvdn says:

Don't get me wrong, I do love your entry. Think it is really well made!

Personally, I always use this plugin to make some all over color changes which, IMHO in the process also, help blending the sources together.

Excellent work. You certainly set a high standard for us to try to follow.
I think its hilarious that you made the source police check all those sources and especially funny that one went searching for the fly before checking the SBS. I agree with you about it being a pain to list all the sources but it must be worse for the people who need to check all sources on all entries and see how they were used in the work. It's not something I would volunteer to do unless I had nothing better to do.
I think there would be more entries in these contests if people didn't need to list sources. It takes a lot of time to make large lists like yours as well as a detailed SBS and not everyone has that much spare time. That is most likely why we get very few entries which are so detailed with so many sources.

avatar skyangel
skyangel says:

By the way, I looked at the high res version regarding the stones which the BBQ and letterbox are standing on and I personally don't think it is the color which is making them stand out more. I think it is the sharpness of the stones. Try softening them down a bit to match the sharpness of the grass. A slight surface blur should do it if you want to perfect it more. Otherwise it's perfectly fine just as it is.

author says:

I'll get back to your other post, but I need to go play some video games to relax my mind. I totally agree with you about the wall being too sharp. It had like a lot of "chunks" in it or w/e they are called. I tried Blur and it took out the sharpening but made it look blurry even with a .4px. Blur. Then I remembered that PS had a denoise filter so I used that and it made it better. Don't know if you can tell the difference but I can upload the previous version if you would like to compare. Thanks for your suggestions SA. I think you were right on the button.

Rain shelter - created by skyangel


Rain shelter
Favs: 0SBS: n/aHi-resRank: 3/3Score: 55.8% (25)12030 views

Once upon a stormy night there was a hungry little mouse who found some shelter from the rain under some yummy mushrooms. He was nibbling on a tasty morsel when the rain stopped but drops of water continued dripping off the caps.
Did he stay because the food was too good or did he leave to find a dry place for the night? (5 years and 939 days ago)

Great job on the warping of the mushrooms. A suggestion (no big whoop) but there is some ghosting around the water droplets. Not a big thing, but to enhance the wonderful realism, that sheen can be easily removed. You can only see it on the left side of the image but it sticks out like a soar thumb. (The WONDERFUL MASKING is also very apparent...kudos! I suck at masking hehehe) Just a suggestion to help you get higher votes.. GREAT JOB!!!

author says:

Thanks for pointing that out. I think it must be part of the bokeh overlay which is causing the problem. I can fix it.

Simple fix.. but a WORLD of difference... greatly improved... massively

author says:

Thank you for your kind critique and help. It is good have other people point out what you may overlook yourself.

hehehe, you don't know how many times I upload a chop and then see it in High Res and go.. "HOW DID I MISS THAT?".. doesn't help that my eyes suck.. Great fix.. really makes the image solid now...

I do like the image and I agree it's a good use of the source. My only critique is the outline of the mushroom, I think it would look better without it IMHO.

I think so too... I'll consider that... watch out... thanks.
