It looks a bit floaty at the moment, a bit of shadow on the ground and a few pieces of grass showing infront of the swan would help give it the impression of sitting on the ground.

why not putting it on the water..i think that would be better..what do u think?

Thanks Ray, I fixed it. I never thought of that, but from now on I'll try to blend things into the pic. Wrock, mmmmm nah, I thought about placement and if it was on water it would sink. You probabley have more imagination than me.

The swan still has a lightly blueish tone. I suggest to take a look to this:

It is a very useful tool and may help. The tone is the only flaw I see here

Nice job author, looks better!

The paper swan is lit from the opposite side of the real one (look at the shadow beneath the real swan's neck).

Mossy you are right. Didn't notice. I will look at that tutorial Syntek thanks. It does look better.

this doesn't fit the contest guidelines!!!!

Yes it does. A chop counts. Nicely done! the bow definitely stands out.

I think more shadow is needed...she looks like she's floating and the density needs to be a little less. Nice idea. GL

i like this image, howevere i would have been inclined to burn the ground a little bit so the dress popped out more, but as i said i like this pic anyway
