cool

Nice idea. Shadow of large one on grass is too sharp, Not sure about reflection.

Light is from low left...oval things wouldn't have visible shadows...reflection is cast as if the object were in front of the cone, not already past it.

okay I drew a line from the corner of the pylon down to the ground.., line from little girl to her shdow. .matched those lines with the descending shadow.. they match.. large orb in the sky in back I took liberties with the shadow I know.. but it's still a neet effect.. as to the reflection.. I followed the back cruve of the oval and place it skew to the surface of the pylon and cut away any excess.. don't know what else I could of done.. the shadow is coming down just like the shadow on the pylon????

THANKS FOR THE HELP NASIR AND CYMK
okay I blurred the large shadow.. (when I eliminated the shadow and all the heaviness of the ovals were lost.. didn't like that.. and the reflection is from the BACK of the orb which should have light hitting it and reflecting back.. I copied the angle of the reflection of the little girl only opposite.. don't see what else I could do???? and I used guide lines and everything

gold stars to both of you

The girl doesn't even have a shadow, she's within the pylon shadow. What do you mean by the "corner" of the pylon? The top? If you draw a line from the top to the ground, the shadow would be longer than the pylon. Applying the same thing to the orbs would put their shadows out of the picture. The angle of the light source is just too oblique. As for the reflection, since the orb is on the near side of the pylon, the reflection would also be on the near side.

nice!!

I'm talking about the little square corner of the base of the pylon.. this is so hard over the web....it's almost a perfect 45 degree angle.. because it's so close to the ground.. the same angle is right under the girl.. you can see the little black disk right below her in the high res.. it's about at 4/5 oclock.. I matched that as well.. I agree with the second oval shadow not being there. but the oval so close to the girl would be impossible not to cast a shadow.. it's to hard when you can't be right next to me showing what you mean.. as hard as it is for me to show you what I mean..

CMYK lets just let me be wrong and you right (Cause I'm sure you are right, I just can't see your vision..because if we continue to talk ..we are going to write a novel no body will want to read LOL. .thanks big guy. and another gold star for you..



(that was a lot of fun

The curb's shadow is a bit wider than the height of the curb, so the angle to the sun is not quite 45 degrees. The foreground orb's shadow should be moved to the right; I would expect to see the orb's left edge's shadow near the left edge of the image with the rest of the orb's shadow continuing all the way to the right and off the edge of the image. Orb shadow should match intensity of pylon shadow. Rear orb shadow must have come from an orb we can't see. Stronger shading on the front orb might be appropriate given the sun's intensity.

Goood grief its a very nice image plenty of WOW factor, i speacialy like the reflection in the orange cone...high marks from me good luck! (h)

hey, welcome to the competation, good luck

idea is nice

COOL. very nice idea
