This is a perfect example of "less is more"...source 1 depicts this prefectly...this image makes me feel I'm looking at someone frantically attempting to escape a dandruff storm...

lol

I like the colours, but i agree about the chaos in the image, don't completely remove those sparkly things, just tone them down a bit. Good luck!

ok...done

Ahh, much better, it's a lot less cluttered now, good luck!

Yup, looks better...

The girl kinda look likes she's getting donkey punched from behind... and part of her foot is missing...but I get the emotion... very nicely done.

love the changes. nice colour usage. good image.

woodztockr, i thought so too, but the foot is there.. it's just almost the same color as the background. check the high res but her skirt and leg do seem a bit trasnparent..

elficho, u were right. They are not anymore...Thanks !

Went back and check the high res, it is there, once again nicely done.

nice to see an image that is uplifting and not so dark, i love your spirit!

Good luck!

IMHO would be much better if you kept the original golden color of the wheat (Which would blend nicely with the golden part of the sky) , but it's still a good image.

Thank you...I couldn't get the color like i did on the other one, so I went darker.

still a very beautiful image.. just different now faved for resubmitting!!!!

I can;t get this one...

totally agree, life is beautiful and short

Beautiful work.. really well created. Good luck!

I don't see any specific emotion here...

it is disturbing but it is good

hah.. *car wipers ON*

Awesome!

A very creative use of filters, normally i don;t like them but you used them very well in your image. Good luck!

I was dealing with those frippin string lights with those multi color covers/ chandelier twinkle lights, candles everywhere... it was a night mare.. so my only alternative to blend everything was filters LOL (not to mention massive cloud cover)

Really cool!

This is actually good use of filters. I like the composition very much.
