Nice concept, but i think it would look better if you loose the 'posteredges' effect. The colors work well to evoke the loneliness feeling. To strengthen that, you could also work on the relative sizes and positioning of the statue and the background.

Interesting image. Looks very good. Blending is excellent.

Good job. Looks professional.I like the different font colors and sizes: interesting and not overdone.

Special Edition
avatar dustfinger

Good choice of colors; text is clearly separated from the background. I like the 'pxleyes' font.

Photoshop Magazine
avatar dustfinger

The square format for the image collection works very well. I'm not entirely sure about the title; i think i prefer a flat title, in the same style as the text 'the magazine'.

Sure looks like an expensive, classy magazine. Nice work.

Tribute

Creating a convinging fire with photoshop is not easy. You did reasonably well. The smoke looks good. I should have opted for one or two large parts instead of several small patches of fire. Good work on the lights.

Nice construction, well merged together. Only the perspective on the left side looks a little weird.

"Il Circo" - a tale
avatar dustfinger

Very well done! Composition is flawless, nice colors. I like the insects (esp. the rightmost one). Only the legs of the red insect are a little off (the are all on one side of the body).

Great imagination. Well composed and funny image.

Nice work. Looks convincing, but please add the other source link too.

Nice image. Only, the shadow of the trailer is too strong for this time of night.

The lady is a bit heavy for the poor horse, bu apart from that: good job.

Good job. I like the colors.

One thing is even better than a good: A good book with beautiful illustrations - as this one. I like the dreamy atmosphere

The magic of the written word

Don't think 'nice' is the correct word for this image. But is is imaginative and well constructed.

Soul Tree
avatar dustfinger

Interesting image. I cannot decide wether it's a dragon or an elegant bird. Must be new kind of species. Nevertheless, it is a nice image.

My car needs some polishing too. Can I bring it to you? Nice job!

Well done. I like images that tell a story.

Goodbye...
avatar dustfinger

Good idea. The aged look works well to integrate the different elements. Adding a paper texture and/or some grain would have made even more realistic.

Playing with the Trolley
avatar dustfinger

Great idea, well executed. The perspective looks a bit off, but apart from that, it is a fantastic image.

When will the movie be in the theaters? Awesome image. Great sense of depth, looks convincing.

Expedition 205.35 LAPD
avatar dustfinger

Nice work on the wings and head. Only the legs are too soft compared to the rest. The position of the legs should be more towards the tail.

Chandelier Bird
avatar dustfinger

From the technical point of view this is a very good image. It looks believable. I think it would attract more attention when the elements in the image were more related to each other. e.g. the book title could be 'How to paint leaves'.

Last fall
avatar dustfinger

I didn't check the high res before you edited it, so i can't comment on that. There is still a white edge on the inner side of the jaw, but apart from that it is great. An image with 'bite'.

FEED ME!!!!!
avatar dustfinger

Nice idea. You certainly have a sense of humor. Image would have been better if the new text matched the style and color of the other text (red/yellow price labels) a little better.

WOW, cool screen!

Time flies.... like seeds in the wind. A wonderful creation, well done.

Tree time
avatar dustfinger

Good idea. Bars and hinches look good. Only the perspective of the doors doesn't match that of the clock. If you would take the doors as reference for determining the vanishing point, the clock could never appear as a normal circle.

Prisoner Of Time
avatar dustfinger

Good idea, very well executed. I didn't need the text to get the idea behind the image. The image speaks for itself.

Imagination

Creative use of the source. I like the construction of the tiles, but i do think the red sky is too dominant.

Crashed Off Hills
avatar dustfinger

Well blended. Nice work on the reflection and the colors. The tractor now looks smaller than in the original. You could try to use the lens correction filter to improve this.

On the field
avatar dustfinger

I like the design of this, but why did you changed the background from that from step 7? This one does not fit the style...

Madame...
avatar dustfinger

Yes, "elegant" is the word for this. Well constructed. I Only think, you lost something of the beautifull colors in the process (they were still there in step 5).

Light transformations....
avatar dustfinger

Looks very nice. I like the 3D look and the limited color range.

(5 years and 3546 days ago)

Plastic Triton
avatar dustfinger

Good idea. It's a very good start. Some hints: use a gaussian blur on the masks, it makes the parts generally blend better together. The tractor looks a little strange because the perspective is different from the clouds.

Pushing Through
avatar dustfinger

Nice work. I thought the easel was from a missing source, but then i saw in the SBS you made it yourself! Small note: There is still a sharp line in the background, soften it would be nice.

Looks like a lot of work, but the end result is very good.

Roman Mosaic
avatar dustfinger

Nice image; I like the bold colors and shapes of the bookenflies. I agree about sparklen about the wing position. Also, move the second bookfly to the right to get a more dynamic composition.

Wonderful job on the construction of the horse. I like this colorfull version over the original wire sculpture.

line horse
avatar dustfinger

Well done. Looks believable. It will look even better when you would blur the shadow. It now is, too sharp compared to the other parts of the image.

Rusty Flute
avatar dustfinger

Nice idea. I like the work on the slots for the ball. Only, somewhere between step 8 and the final image, the axis got disconnected from the spokes. It now seems to float. It would be nice if could correct the numbers. The perspective for some of the numbers is off. Apart from that: good job.
