my own photo

Scale of the boy to the background seems a little off. Seems like he should be slightly smaller. Good idea for your entry, goodluck.

The shadows look a a bit fake to me try to make separate layers, one with higher opaque black and other with a more soft brush.

try changing the blending mode of the shadow layer to multiply... and experiment with the layer opacity... Gl

great job

nice work......... gud luck...

nice job

For an entry like this to be appreciated, you really need to post a SBS...

Thank you so much CMYK I am in this site almost a week. I am working so hard.. Your word is very important for me. I have something in PSD format but for psp maybe is not going to work. But I am really happy what you've said.

What CMYK ment was that you need to post a step by step (sbs) guide on how you created the image. Good luck author.

it was a nice idea to give it a rusty look but y r u showin coconuts in the look..its making no sense at all

It look nice this way... Not a rusty way , coconut way

everything is making sense dat a car is mashed and broken and rusted and with your coconut look also its giving good signal but showing exact coconut at the back of your car has made it meaningless..i mean if u wanted to show a coconut you could have used a normal car to design it.as it is the coconut texture is visible all over if you only could have edited the back portion of the car...newaz if ur satisfied its kool..

thanks for advice..

Good for a starting piece, I am sure your work will improve as you progress in the group. Good luck with this though, we all had to start somewhere.

i like it... i'd bet money that gillagan would have liked too

Thank you to every one...

The coconut is levitating...

edit: fixed the floating, hope it looks ok now. thx CMYK46.

Well, it's levitating less now...there shouldn't be space between the object & reflection.

edit (for the third time : well, i hope the coconut has landed now.

Good job!

That's damn funny ^^

for the future to help the floating problem u can make a copy and transform it down to reflect and lower visibilty

the entry is nice... the coconut could use some more shading though(around the edges)

Nice chop

cool looks real nice job Good luck Ps the people look a little placed they dont blend

errmm.. right. i did some tweaking and i think they look better now thanks!

Nice image, but I never heard of a valley that was located on the beach.

because it's an ISLAND, duh! fixed

Very nice use of source, good job!

Oh makes me wanna go-- I love coconut.

Mmm. Tastey.

i was inspired by the first (and probably last) coconut i tried to open not too long ago. it's no picnic

great thinking out of the box for source usage.

haahahah cool image! i love it author looks like a nice family photo!

I like the softness of the picture

gl

Oh author, I feel with you Opening the one and only coconut in my life causes me a lot of cursing, sweat and a bleeding finger Very good blending and a really nice composition Good luck!

o.o looks like and advertisement for happyt family show the only comment i like to make is that the light falling on the ppl has a diff color then the light on the background from the source and the palmtrees

thanks! fixed i hope they don't look to "pale" now..
