Pretty good environment blending! looks pretty realistic ! The shadow on the (grey) rock on the right seems a bit odd though?

GL author !

Nickk; agreed, will modify and repost. TY!

nice blending author...gl

wonderful self work.. I LOVE THIS IS YOUR OWN PHOTO.. so refreshing... keep up the great work (love the blending)

Added color change and a little wall cleanup. Thanks for the suggestion locale (hope I got that name right)

your source 3 doesn't work.
i don't really see how you used source 2.
and i think perhaps a higher res version of source one would work out better. You've got a good start to something with the way you've done this, i just think that the portrait you chose to start with should have been something of higher quality so that you could have better results.

hey jadedink
i dont know where to find good images
it wd b great if u help me
and

READ THIS FOR FREE STOCK IMAGES THAT IS OK TO USE.HOPE IT HELPS.

thanx HELSIen

flickr has a ton of great useable images...in their creative commons. be sure to tick the box in the advanced search to include only those that allow manipulations and changes to the image.
also, you can find SOME on deviant art, not all of them are creative commons, but...there are some great stocks that can be used off deviant art if you just do a little poking around.
also, there are members here that have stock galleries as well. up on the bar there is a tab that says "pictures" and a drop down menu comes up saying "art" and "stock"... pick the "stock" one and you'll find a ton.

i think you might be happier with your results if you played with the blending mode of the source layer over the eye. Also, filters are fun for some effects, but alot of times they come out heavy handed. i do like your concept, but think you could get a more interesting effect with less filter and a different blending mode (such as "overlay" ) on the dry earth layer.

good luck!!!

I know what you mean, but i was going for the comic book effect.

well then you managed it! i wasn't meaning to offend of course, just offering suggestions.

no offense taken
