Fantastic! Amber is so realistic... Everything is perfect. Just one thing: the vase needs to cast a shadow, doesn't it?

author says:

Thank you for comments. Erikury...my monitor is kind of dark, and did not see that right bottom where the vase is standing.... I will add the shadow altough probably it can not be seen, probably I lower the light on the table, to a softer kind of blue... you are right, I will do that.

UPDATE: Added shadow and lowered gradient, so, the shadow can be seen.

avatar gamemastertips

I find it odd how some stray shadow is being cast onto the vase from the left as if it were a flat object...otherwise, you did an awesome job. Very creative and well executed.

Very creative and curious idea.

avatar DanLundberg

Very creative, but the butterflies/moths look flat, not three-dimensional. Some Burn Tool on the bodies and refinement of the shadows falling on the background (different parts of the moth would be different distances from the background and thus would cast a slightly different shadow) would help. A stick pin through each moth might add to the realism.

author says:

Hi, everyone!¨Thanks for the comments!

@ DanLundberg

I didn't want to touch the original texture much but, you're right, some things should be improved. I uploaded it and decided to see what the others would have to say . I appreciate your suggestions and, yes, burn tool just might be the best solution for the "fake" inner shadows. i will try to improve that part!

And as for the pins- sorry, i just couldn't! ))) I made the pins and in the end decided not to use them, I couldn't stab the poor creatures!

erathion says:

Great idea author,i like your different approach to this contest...well done

author says:

thanks, erathion!

I made some changes! DanLundberg, thanks again for the suggestions- burn tool really did do the trick (I don't think I use it nearly as often as I should ). I did my best to achieve a more 3D effect and I think it looks better. I also used both burn and dodge tool to add the same effect to the frame. Then i added some smudges to the background and to the tags- i thought it should be older!

Anyway, I appreciate your inputs! Thanks!

i like it !!!!

avatar DanLundberg

I think there's some more depth now. BTW if you create a selection beforehand, that constrains where your burning occurs so you can easily get hard lines between burned and unburned areas..

Congrats...this is really really cool work...

Fabulous work and a very beautiful image, I hate to say it but if I did not looked at your S.B.S I would say that the source had not been used because its not visible at all,for me the source needs to be clearly visible in the final result.......Sorry

Ponti, I do it with probably 30-40 hours of work, but I obviously love doing photoshopping and am so glad when viewers enjoy my work.

My pic, a source of another contest and some outsource images.

Thanks to:
- jans canon at Flickr;
- 13dede, clemmesen and alitaylor at sxc.hu;
- and Pxleyes.


Edit: I removed some butterflies, but I'll keep my thanks to the authors above! (5 years and 3474 days ago)

Nice image, the only things I would suggest changing are the butterflies (it is too obvious you have cut and paste each one three times, use more different images). I would also remove the blurry train from below the cat and the wings, adding a slight motion blur or manually blurring the ends of the image would make it look more realistic imo.

avatar Drivenslush

SOOOOO SWEET!!!... maybe arrange the butterflies in swirl patterns that are playing with the kitty... like that effect you get when you tie a ribbon to the end of a long stick and make it follow a trail pattern.. just an Idea.. the kitty is BEAUTIFUL!!

avatar CMYK46
CMYK46 says:

Just my 2 cents, but if there were only one butterfly (possibly a bit larger), it would give the image more of a focus. Good idea, though!

author says:

I COMPLETELY agree with you all! Let me see what I can do... thank you!

avatar erathion
erathion says:

Damn,this kitty cat is very focused...yummy butterfly's...great work author...best of luck

author says:

Isn't she so fluffy and cute?

avatar Drivenslush

yes she is fluffy and cute.. just like you.. much improved with the single butterflies!!!

author says:

Thanks, Ernie... Fluffy is you, friend of mine...

avatar annabat
annabat [banned] says:

Really CUTE! I would shift the bottom butterfly to the right slightly so it's more in the kitty's line of site, and I would drag the shadow layer a little further down so it looks like it under neath the cute flying cat. Motion trails may not be needed, but that's up to you. Such an adorable idea!
