very nice construction author...cleaver usage of gray scale....best of luck

in the high res - the middle board doesn't seem to match correctly and there is a little bit of a green tint on the leg... well IMO, maybe something to look into - if I were you...

the floor boards are much too wide and detailed , so the wheelbarrow looks like a tiny toy.
it would be nice if the axle of the wheel is visible. good luck

I agree that the scale of the boards makes it look like a toy, which is okay, but the lighting on the front of the wheel and the wheel barrow are not consistent. You have it lit on opposing sides, I'd tone down the contrast on the side of the wheelbarrow.

Great observation, James,

I have adjusted the middle board and must admit that the perspective looks much better. Thank you for your input. I left a bit of the tint on the support leg as that's the way it imported from the source image - upon following your advice, I recognized that by desaturating it - it is more suitable to the piece. Another great suggestion.

The rescaling of the image was intentional to further differentiate the Wheelbarrow from the source with minimal transformation. I will,however; work on producing the axle per your request Gornats. I assume you meant protruding out from the frame to our perspective?

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks, Mossy - I agree. I don't know if this adjustment was quite what you had in mind, but I believe it helped add some consistency to the lighting on the image. I used RENDER-LIGHTING EFFECTS-SPOTLIGHT and then brought the intensity down. It created a bit more mood to the image and softened some of the harsh light.

Thank you for your suggestion.

nice work author, good to see you here

Looks good to me, welcome back!

Cool idea; the perspective on the wheel looks odd at the top, like the wheelbarrow is made to turn in a right hand turn.

Thank you for the welcome Wayne, and master Chappell. Feels good to be choppin' again.

As for your observation SGC, I took another look at the psd file and adjusted the perspective a bit. I think it definitely improves the image and adds better balance to the wheel.

Thanks for the help.
