Good concept. I hope all voters look at the hi res to appreciate whay you have done.

I don't mind the (lack of) contrast between the figures and the background sky, but had choosen for another color adjustment. At sunset, the sky turns red when looking into the sun. At that moment when you would look in the opposite direction, the sky will not be that red. But in your image the faces are clearly lit by the sun. Apart from that is a good job!

Well done image. Good attention to details, like the point where the fiber crosses the neck of the boy.

Opposites Attract

The two mastodonts are nicely blended, but the perspective of the candlestick does not match with the background. Speaking of that. What is the source of the background?

Candlestick
avatar dustfinger

Well composed image! The hi res shows some white edges (the top of the castle and around the knights). But apart from that it's nice image.

On Her Majesty

Agree with James about the tree. But apart from that well blended.

Good concept. GL!

beutiful picture
avatar dustfinger

Nice work. In the original photo the background behind the sculpture is darker on the right hand side. Maybe, it is an idea to apply a gradient to the background to make it even more convincing.

SCULPTURE

Well blended image. I like the warm colors.

Abandoned farm

Looks like a different place now. I think it will look better when you would bump up the saturation of the background. The transition from the front to the back is now too abrupt.

The Farm
avatar dustfinger

I think i will keep some distance when i encounter a bird that big.. The high res shows a small blue line around the bird. It would be nice if you could remove that (may be by giving a blur to the mask).

Village
avatar dustfinger

The masking of the large animals right foot needs some work. I also would place the small one more to the front. They are now in the same horizontal plane with the feet, but the trunk and tusks overlap.

I like the concept. Good job on the textures.

Point of view
avatar dustfinger

Good choice of images and good job on the coloring. Only the blending needs some work. The lower edges of the girl are too soft. I think they need to be sharper and needs a little shadow (just a very thin line). There is a lot of empty space above the girl; it would look better if you placed the girl more to the side of the image, crop a large part from the top, and moved the moon to the open space.
But overall it's a nice image

Nice composition. The airplane is at the right spot within the frame.

Good job on extending the bus.

Very good. Well composed. I like the work on the teeth. It would have been nice if the claws were more detailed.

Creative use of the source. I like the bold colors.

Vendor of Bus Balloons
avatar dustfinger

Nice idea. Maybe, it will look better if you could make the front legs bigger, so they obscure most of the hind legs. The shadow of the head suggest it is just above the ground, but the position of the right leg suggest otherwise.

Nice job. Good positioning of all elements.

Nice scene. The shadows and higlights are inconsistent, but i like the mood!

Close encounter
avatar dustfinger

Good concept. Dan already gave some good suggestions, i can only add that it would have been nice when the constrast of 'Eve' was lowered, to merge more into the garden.

Convincing image. I like the way the boy and the warrior/robot look at each other.

It's a little inpractical when you need to go shopping, but it's a nice place. Beautiful image!

Very nice! I like the effect on the shapes (is it some kind of filter?).

Nice scene. Good work on the mist.

dreamy castle
avatar dustfinger

Good idea. A nice touch is the motion blur on the right tower (only it should be on the other side).

(5 years and 2324 days ago)

Broken Tower
avatar dustfinger

Nice image. I like the strong contrast. Nice work on the reflection too.

Only the background images are too soft compared to the foreground and sky.

Full moon
avatar dustfinger

Clever idea. Nice work on the light.

Abduction At Dusk
avatar dustfinger

Good choice in desaturing the image. Maybe you can make the art on the wall less opaque so the stones will be visible through the images.

Funny idea

I had to lookup the story to make any sense of the image. I think it would have been better if the "prince" and the sheep had their foot on the ground; now they are floating in the air.

Nice image. I guess it will look even better when you crop the image at the top.

Ski Rex
avatar dustfinger

Nice scene.

I agree with kyricom about the light. If the light reflected from the water acts as a light source it would also light the rocks in the back. I would also decrease the constrast.

Great scene. I like the positioning of the claw on the nose. it would be nice if you could apply some color to the bigger T-rex.

Creative use of the source. I like the feeling of depth in the image.
