After adding and removing flutes, piano keys, and other musical elements, it became apparent that less was more for this entry. Musical notes were created by hand, then applied layer styles, shadows, etc. (5 years and 3246 days ago)

very pleasant creation. good Luck author.. though I don't think you need it.. hehehe+
The shadows don't seem to be contiguous with a discernable light source judging from the sky image. Interesting surrealism though.
Just curious but why no bow?
Confession time CMYK: I did have some trouble with the shadows, in terms of a light source (which is usually my starting point!), as well as their intensity (which I suppose speaks again to the light source). The shadows in the BG image seem to be not from the dunes but from the clouds, I felt I had a little latitude, but it boils down to what looks "right". I'll tweak a bit. Thanks all for the feedback.
change the shadows to be angled more directly forward, and make the shadows on the notes darker.
the notes look beveled making it more unrealistic if you can find some metal notes or something like that it would look nicer.
nice shot
Shadows sometimes are very difficult to compose. But I think it's a very nice surrealistic creation.![](http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/images/smilies/1.gif)
I like this, and aside from the odd little bulge on the shadow for the closer eighth-note in the back, and different amounts of blur, I do like the addition of the string blowing in the breeze. Nice work on the notes and very pleasing image overall.
Great work author...I love it...best of luck
