Good job and good luck. Take a look at the shadow on the ground. There should be a shadow of the people through the bench and onto the ground.

in the shadow casted by the bench, it should not be completely black as there are gaps between the wooden planks in the bench.. One more thing is the shadows casted by the characters... the shadows of the feet of the male char and knee of female char are wrong.. these shadows fall on the horizontal seat of the bench and do not get seen as shown in this pic. there should be a small deviation between the shadows on horizontal portion and vertical portion of the bench.. just my opinions.. gl

an eg of shadows on uneven surface - http://www.itchy-animation.co.uk/tutorials/01-blue-shadows.jpg take a look at the shadows of the branch on teh window...it maybe difficult to incorporate this fact in PS, in that case u could just raise the shadows so that they fall on the vertical portion of the bench alone..

setting the shadow discussion aside. this is a very energetic picture.. very happy and fun mood.. good luck

Nice idea good luck!

very nice

good

nice

Bench looks way too big in relation to the people.

nic, could do better with the shadow tho

Funny . To make you more nuts about shadows and such, I think the shadow from the bench should be a bit less deep amd more to the left. And up to you, but if you like a more symmetrical image, I'd crop a bit from the right side of the image. Good luck!

Very good, looks like it could really be there, good one

Looks pretty realistic,great job.Maybe you could make the people a bit larger,but that's up to you.

odd clean bench on the beach. What are the tree stumps?

Very fun. Nice job!

Author.. you must post all your sources.. and you have a ton of them.. if you don't this piece will be pulled.. I'm pretty sure the Hans solo alone will get you in trouble.. GOOD LUCK THOUGH..

(your picture balance is looking very good)

EDIT: Excellent Source submission..great way to make a piece.. all your own sources..

gl

step by step with sources is in progress
EDIT:added step by step for the photos;

Funny idea, but work a bit further on the shadows (that is, the direction of some shadows, but maybe also add some more shading to make it more a whole, like for the man on the bench). That Han Solo print looks cool, I'd remove the vertical lines from the background (near the hands), so it looks less ghost-like. Good luck!

Awesome Image...Makes you want to stare longer just in case you missed something...IMO the man on the bench is a little "flat" compared to the rest of the image...Great Idea....Good Luck

Good idea. Multiple light sources in general and lack of shadows on the sleeping guy need correcting. Note that in the original spource pic, the light source is almost directly above.

nice idea -- the bird needs some shadow around the feet and the man has some white showing in the masking and a bit of blurr would help his edges as well

good

Wow, you added like as many sources as you could

how this must have taken a lot of work....Nice- and good Luck

haha cool

Nice idea, but too many light sources. Love the guy in the door.

Great job. Nice display of many dreams. I would darkent the guy up a little. make him more rustic.

very cute and you should have added a humor bar.. the boy is so strong that his little feet look like they are going into the cement.. I'm going to let the techs have at to help you with shading/realism.. I don't want to mess you up because my methods are a bit radical, but you arranged the humor quite well.. good luck author

Haha (although it's dangerous of course ). Good pick of sources and well constructed. I'd give the edges of the box a slight blur and do womething different with the shadows from the man and kid (light comes from up, so you'd see shadow down). Good luck!

Good Idea and funny-- falling man seems a bit blurry compared to the source and the boy and the shadows need to be corrected

Thank you so much for the advice. I did some adjustments. I hope the shadows look better now. As for the blurry man falling. I thought I'd add some motion blur to make it look like he's falling? That's ok right or not? Thanks again!

@GolemAura I thought I added a humor bar. I can't tell, since I can't vote for my own image and I can't add any bars when I go to edit the entry? Please let me know how to do that or whether you just missed the bar? Thanks

Shadow for the man is way way better! Shadow for the kiddie is already better in that way that right now it looks more clean, it's just that the sun is in mid front but then a tiny bit to the left, while right now the kiddie's shadow looks like the sun came from front right. But looks already way better! Btw I already saw the humor bar the first time I saw this image, is all ok! Good luck!

@wazowski I'm confused... I wish someone could direct me to a tutorial on shadows. Or you know what I'll just have a look around. I really want to learn how to do it right and of course with as little effort as possible...Thanks for the great advice though. Like I said I'm gonna do my best to improve the image...

Ok, I really hope the shadows are ok now... thanks for commenting and voting...

NOW THATS FUNNY.. brings back a flash back. lol

thats funnnny lmao, i would love to have seen it happen hehehehehe

LOL...Cute Idea and Good Luck

Author, I have to admit that in the original source, the shadow is not easy to locate, but I do think that the way it is now for the boy is a real good improvement! Good luck!

Thanks for the comments everyone... @OliviaArts I wish I could have warned him... And thanks wazowski I learned quite a bit about shadows doing this...thanks for your help!

good work

lol good job authur

I would lose the box and the dude. The child is effective on his own.I would trim the dark line from around the front of his face too.

That is hilarious. good work. the image could be cleaned up alot.

haha, how so cute, nice entry, good luck

Good idea

you kinda forgot the shadow there.. you cleaned it out, but forgot to put it back in.. fix that first and then you'll see any other imperfections that need to be fixed.. but the no shadow is a must fix.. good luck and good job

LOLOLOL..that was FAST LOL (I was typing while you were uploading.. LOL. that was a good one All fixed now.. good job

Yes I just noticed I forgot to turn on the shadow layer when I made the JPG

Nice job, but try eliminating the repetition of forms where you replaced areas...

Well done. Good luck.

well done.... i have trouble keeping it this neat lol

Cute Idea...Good Luck

very simple , but good

nice job

fix the lines. GL

simple yet effective!

Nice blend .. good luck on this.. weird intersection of people.. makes ya think

Just a little nit pick... you missed a spot. At the bottom on the right there's still a little red I like you're idea, but I have to say that the building doesn't really look like it's burned... I could be mistaken. Good luck

I really like the mood of this image!! Nice Work....Good Luck

very nice

good colors

great, nice combination authur

Interesting entry, but not completely sure how I should see the warning sign. Is it added against the wall, hanging in the air or anything else? If it's supposed to be against the wall, I'd add a little shadow, so it looks more like part of it. Good luck!

nice mood

the man on the right needs just a little work

Weird people, strange image, great entry! Good luck author!
