I think if you bumped up the contrast and color saturation, it would really improve this shot. GL!

I think the box should be brighter as it gets lost among the brightness of the girl and the hand. Overall, to be blunt, I wish there were something to keep this from being kind of trite and boring. Some sort of magical swirl coming out of her hands (or a much bigger plant?) might be more interesting, for example.

Balls !?! Did you try to make meteorites but not time for motion blur & co, or what's the meaning of those incandescent balls ?
For meteorites try a new layer with motion blur and then transform it and warp it so it looks liek coming from behind and further away.

I disagree with ping - i think the concept goes like this: In the future people grew up to 5 metres, they were eating too much & couldn't fit in the small bathrooms, so wars started, etc.
I wonder how many days a young,hot, barefeeted chick can last in a post-apocalyptic landscape.
You know i'm j/k author
Tip: use diff. layers for rain, with diff. motion blur settings (smaller -longer lines).

This has great possibilities. The atmosphere is nice also. I might suggest a little cut & paste to rearrange some of the repeated structural shapes and make them more random, since they are randomly collapsed. Unless there is lightning behind us, the girl's hand seems a little bright.

This a kinda neat atmosphere, but the the girl is almost one story tall. I think she'd be much better at about 1/2 that size.

Keiley22 says:

it is a good idea author, however the buildings are noticably the same throughout the image. The sizing of the girl seems a bit big compared to her situation on the road. Also the rock is very bright.

Again, i like the idea, maybe clone out the large rock in front of the two building on the left of screen and you could even play with the perspective of one of maybe the sizing of the one closest to the left side screen

Will hold vote

Christy says:

Author I like what you are going for here....IMO the added elements are still too bright and require some blurring around the edges to help blend because in high res the things look to be "floating" above the ground..You might also want to try cloning some of the background to help with the blending issues..Best of Luck

avatar layerstack

The figures in the scene need some shadow to ground them in the image. Also try colour matching them with the source image. GL

Surrealism is about depicting unreal images in a Realistic manner ( they were even joking about how realistic can they get: see Magritte: this is not a pipe.)
Your entry is closer to Collage Art, which is pretty cool, but needs some adjusments as well - pasted paper on a background would have some frame edges, dropping shadows, etc.

You could add a rusty pipe that exits the image, so that the water looks like comming from somewhere.
Those water drops should be transparent if you care for realism.
