Nice job on taking the source and going the totally opposite way with it. Great image.

I'm not familiar with all these kind of photoshop tools, but it's incredible how people can manipulate a source and create another completely different, , it's great capacity of imagination and pls receive my congrats... GL dear author! Great one....

Nicely done! Good attention to the clarity of the bottle, (that you should be able to see the flowers through it).

Conflicting light sources. The light on the hand is from straight above (12:00)...light on the tulip is from the upper right. Making the shadow between these two sources would save the image. GL author.

Spring Garden
avatar tnaylor21286

Hi author, there is a sharp line at the bottom edge of the grass. I think this would be a much stronger entry if you faded the grass out at that line as well. Just as you had done with the left and right sides of the grass. the sharp line is somewhat distracting. Another thing to try would be to take the smudge tool and smudge around the ape a bit (try not to get carried away with the smudge tool) to make his hair look more realistic. This could be a large improvement on an already strong entry. good luck author, I hope I've helped.

Well done, the horns are a nice replacement. If you want, you can vertically flip the cross. As far as I know the upside down cross is a sign of the antichrist. Good luck!

Good concept. Good job on the proportions and composition. I would sharpen the skull and the horns and/or enhance the constrast.

Good work! I would only suggest using a smaller brush/sample size for the flames as I think that would add to the realism. But maybe that's just me

I like this poster. The justified left throughout doesn't work for me. Nice work with the clown sources. This looks like it might be for a county circus. Something smaller and more local than a nationwide one. Nice job on this, author!

Kids Circus
avatar pixelkid
pixelkid says:

The two thirds of the top poster is really cool. I'm not crazy about the font usage. The bottom copy looks almost to ordinary to be a 'circus' poster. I respect your decision to use it...just doesn't seem to fit. I would have also used the year too. Nice job overall, author!

Guiltss says:

I understand what you try to achieve here is motion blur. As a photographer that have shot many moving things (including this kind of act in a circus) theres no need to have a drastic motion blur because the performers doesnt move as fast as racing cars, what you need is motion blur in some part of the body to make it looks more realistic

wazowski says:

Heyhey, quite a make over, author! Only thing left is that I might lower the block of text from county fair till the web address. Not too low, but imo it't covering the photo a bit too much. Good luck!

If this were my image I'd desaturate the background a lot...right now all the colors are competing for my attention.

High In The Air
avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

Certainly not bad, but a few things about the typography. You used blue text on blue background. Although the text has a lighter blue you stil may want to give it a more contrasting color (or maybe white). Other thing, since it's about a Chinese circus (or only acrobats?), is it an idea to give the whole poster a more asian atmosphere/typography (but of course keep it readable) instead of the typical western-american font? Good luck!

robvdn says:

The description mentions that photo manipulation as well as the typography is important, I see your attempt at typography but no photo manipulation at all. Maybe have a second chance on this and do something with the source?

Sorry if I sound harsh author, but I know you are talented and can make awesome stuff.

Nice combination and quite a challenge to take the zebra out of the field and in the water. I'd make the reflection a bit more subtle though, let the little waves from the water get more through the reflection. Right now it's a bit too smudgy, imo. Good luck!
