I rather like this one I like the solitary human and animals, it gives a definate feel that something has happened. I like the pose of the girl who seems to be celebrating that life is still existing

The only thing i would say is that some of the buildings look a little washed out in the background and maybe play a little with your lighting on the buildings ..... but other than that its good work author.

Regarding Keilly22's observation, if you duplicate the background layers that are washed out it should give them more presence & stronger color.

mayby you could use some blend modes or filters or just anything to let it look more like one image and not different images cut and pasted !

I wish you very much luck on the path of creating

GL author

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

@Keiley22: thanks for the comments. From all sources of ruins I had found (about 5) I used only two - the others weren't good at last... I noticed that one of the sources got too repetitive. After your comment, I decided to "break" some buildings a little more. Oh, I resized the girl as well.

NOw I thought this was a different author! Great work on this. The mood is perfect!

Thanks!

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.

Super cool work on creating cracks and placing the ruins...this is very moody image...best of luck author

very cool !
2 suggestions:
mayby put the oppasity for the mist a little bit down

mayby you could add some mist on the background

Cool work author and GL

still working on SBS but i will be posting one soon....

I think the perspective of the tower in the background doesn't match the rest of the image...

very nice work author and cool blend...sky could be better because this one is to pixelated...in high resolution is visible halo around some objects...any how image is very nice and with few improvements this could be fantastic entry...best of luck

Looks pretty good in low res. Unless the deer(fawn) is mutated, in needs to be way closer, like between the bottom of the picture and the car, because it is huge. It would be shorter than the foreground car, even if standing beside it.
Edit:
I see you've moved the deer up, but its still too big. An adult white tail deer is only 32-44 inches at the shoulder. If you compare that height to a car, it's still quite large.

the birds are flying pretty low and close and still I dont see a shadow or something mayby add one or make the birds smaller ?

You also could set a special mood to give the image a special feeling
(Mayby you could use a filter or blend mode)

Anyway good luck author !!

Erikuri, if you look at the original picture you'll notice its the same....i i guess the street its on happens to be diagonal....
Pingenvy, thanks for pointing out the deer, i dont know the first thing about those creatures other then what i see in movies and cartoons....
Nickk, how do i set a "mood" is that a filter? there's like 45 layers wich one would need the blending mode

Very nice work author! i can see this as a part of Final Fantasy just without the saucer

or heck... even with the saucer

And your pants...they took your pants, too!
Source 4 is a previously manipulated image.

the contrast and saturation between imagaes used is very powerful. The girl seems very clean and bright... and looks like she has her hand in the lava??? i think it is.

It's very hot!
I'm just concerned about what Bob said; if you can find another version of source 4...

Thanks all. Oh boy, you guys are right about source 4, but honestly I didn't think anything was done with it when I saw it, so I hope to find some time to fix that. As for her hand in lava, also true, I'll change the colors soon. Thanks for the heads up and tips = )

Oh yes they did take her pants, she escaped just in time before all the other clothes were taken, lol.

yes, so am I,...I am thinking of Bob's saying,.....( you are so funny, Bob,....lol ) oh well if you need ones,...you can borrow Erica's pants, author,...or Bob's.......lol,....oh well, good work..!

I hope that's better.

cool construction author...love the contrast and the idea of using strong amount of colors...best of luck

Thank you, I wasn't going for the strong colors, just that I felt they needed to be brighter because it's taking place at night, but I'm glad you like them, thanks again.

Pretty cool work author !
GL

They couldn't have taken her top too? GL!

wow author...fantastic work with exploding balls...very well done...best of luck

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.

Thank you both.
@greymval: you know, I tried motion blur on the fire balls, but it really got wierd, I didn't like the result. Freeze the image, my friend, freeze the image... or I have to make the flames dancing too.

NICE WORK! Great imagination!

I like the balls, well not if they were real, lol. Nice work.
