cool work author...gl

Fascinating .... the limited colour palette gives this piece quite an emotional depth. Good work!

nice work ..........

A bit inconsistent. Looks like she's "channeling" an egg whisk...

And what about your entry ?

Has nothing to do with YOUR egg whisk...
Unlike you, I don't compare other people's work. I merely point out what I observe about the piece, without the need for smileys.

Beautifull, but may be more work on the hands could be great ! Good luck author

Great work Author..., very neat.., Good luck

Beautiful!

nice job on this

grt job...gud luck author

This is a nice work but unfortunately you used a pre-manipulated background, your entry might get removed if you don't change it. Good luck !

EDIT : Better now

premade backgrounds aren't allowed... can you find images seperately and put them together.... otherwise there isn't really much effort in this image as all pictures used were already set for you anyway...


Glad you changed it quickly

Sorry I did not know that...Ok I have changed it...thanks

Around, not merely in-front-of, light effects would be so much more compelling. And I'm not sure reticence/fear is a goddess quality.

I liked the way how you interpret her expression but there is still something there says she is goddess..Like the goddess of secrets, Dayea...

Nice. Try to add some highlights.

:O forgot my cloud brushes! :P http://javierzhx.deviantart.com/art/Cloud-Brushes-34277964

and thanks cmyk..i guess i should have done MORE highlights. :P because i did some.
no time to fix it before contest end now... :P

Very electrifying!

heavy reliance on stock brushes when a better approach would have been to make them or achieve the same results within photoshop itself...

Wow James...did you read where I said it was my FIRST attempt at this? Sorry but I find your comment completely useless, as I'm sure there are ways to do it without brushes. I just happened to use brushes. Its like saying someone relies too much on stock photography.resources that are meant to be used.

Emo Storm???

Cool The girl resembles a gothic witch

Awesome entry! GL!

sbs?

i will try to make sbs

She is quite lovely!

The shadows on the clothes aren't consistent with the light source.

@Blaine: Nope, they're not...find me a source with no shadows.

Make a source with no shaddows! Grab a camera, go outside in the sun and snap away. Sources don't have to come from the internet. Use your own. It's more satisfying that way, anway.

Outside in the sun? You mean the sun that makes SHADOWS? Sheesh...

sheesh hey author ;p

i like it but i'm agree with (blaine2nd )

Yeah, the sun makes shaddows if your back is to it. Try at one or two facing west. Your subject doesn't have a head so you don't have to worry about squinting. Or use flood lights. My point is only that these contests are more satisfying (to me, anyway) when you use your own sources.

I can easily forgive the jean's shadows for this terrifically good idea. For me it screams some catchy poster slogan, good work author..

Ummm...Downoffthedragon, I looked at your portfolio and I didn't see you using any of your own sources in your entries. Funny, eh?

Actually, I do use my own sources. Not everytime. I never said that I did. All I'm saying is that if you can't find the source that you want, make it. I didn't say it to start a fight! it was just a suggestion, crazy!

I really didn't have a problem with the shadows on your source in the first place! Sheesh!

And I have 3 photoshop entries that feature me, my daughter and my fiance. The livingroom in my 3D entry is my livingroom. ALL of the textures are photographs of my actual furniture, the floor, the carpet and the walls of my livingroom. You can look at my reference photo of my living room and see that.

I just voted, and I was very surprised to see it was you! You're usually more confident in your work, it seems to be worried about what I say!! I didn't say it before, but I really like the image.

The first thing I thought when I saw this image was: what a cool ! Very nice, author!
