Sorry about the arm ... I looked at it as close as I could in hi res ... but I know how things can fool the eye. When you are creating an image you know what is going on ... as a viewer I can sometimes see things differently (a good example is Glockman's entry in the Stone face ... I could have sworn there were 6 finger but when I looked in SBS he was right ... there are the correct amount of fingers)!

Congratulations ... beautiful!

Congrats!

I think the rain looks a bit fake, probably too rough. Nice compilation tho!

Very emotional and has strong impact.

A few suggestions: a little more blending on the man's arm where it lies on the rock (edge is just a little to hard)... and the lighting... a possible solution would be to take out one of the lighting bolts so it is not so symmetrical; that would also give you a more definate light source ... then lighten/darken and add shadows from there.

Good story here though and as I said before, very powerful piece.

The woman's dress is too dark for all the lighting effects around her.

great work

Simply awesome work! Lot of effort went into this, and it shows. VERY well done!

Much better ... again nice choices! GL

Very good ... your concept is very sound and your choice of stock is great; you definitely have an eye for composition. There is a little more work needed on the cutting out of "Pandora".

If you are using a program with layer masks try using them to mask your image. You can start with the lasso tool (or whatever tool for selecting you like) after the basic selection is done you can go in and really refine it with a brush, I will even use the smudge tool to smooth and soften the outline.

Layer masks and adjustment layers give a lot more control and are non-destructive so you always have you original to go back to for reference. For fine tuning nothing works like a layer mask/adjustment layer

NOTE: using the Pen tool is also a great way to create selections but the learning curve is a bit fierce, worth the effort though!

Author, you have given the leopard a tasty haircut but the image is beautiful as a whole
