Rage, Grief, Hope...all in the window of the soul.
This took me a whole day to make (well in between chores and making dinner). I couldn't seem to get it to the way I had in mind though so I made many many changes.
Other than sources listed, the other images are my own.
EDIT: I changed this a bit. Kidox got me thinking about the perspective some. (5 years and 3737 days ago)
The colors are all messed up an the perspective ain't that good...
Good luck!
What do you mean by "the colors are all messed up"? Some people see different emotions as different colors, that is why there are mismatched colors here. Perspective-- do you mean the fire over the eye?
If you have to include Jesus, he should be behind the eye, not in front of it...
why? the eye is looking at and reaching out to Jesus

A little collage of my main emotions right now :)
These are: solitude, grief, love and hope.
I wanted to arrange them in a way so you can see, that they all belong together.
That's why greif, love and solitude are arranged in a kind of triangle.
I used always the same background, cause it shall reperesent me in this case. I'm always the same, I just have different emotions.
And in case you don't recognize the emotions:
On the left side is solitude, what should express the feeling of being alone. That's why the boy is walking away from the girl.
On the right side is grief. I intentionally placed only the girl there and nothing else, cause when you feel grief, you are always alone, notwithstanding how many people may be around you.
And in the middle is the love. I don't think, that I need to explain this one ;)
These three build the traingle. I placed the love intentionally above the two others, cause most of the times the love is just stronger and gives you strength.
The ivy comes from above (the direction of the love), what shall say, that love makes things alive.
But if the love is too weak, there is always hope. Even when you don't believe, that there could be hope.
It's always there, you just have to open your mind for it...
The text, that is engraved in the wall, shall represent the gathering of this emotions.
Yes, I guess, that's it.
Thanks for reading that long description and I hope, that you understood at least a little, what I was trying to say ;)
Oh and I know, that the frame looks bend. But the original frame is bend actually and I didn't wanted to change that, cause in my opinion it adds a special feeling to it :)

Apart from what's said above, I like the color combination (warm against cold, just in the right proportions). Good image, well constructed. Tiny nitpick is that I dont understand the choice for the font for your text, but that's very personal. Nice result for sure! Good luck!

I think your masking could use some work, there are some great tutorials on masking so I would check them out. It really is one of the things you have to be good at
Thank you for the advice. I know that I am not a professional at Photoshop. Maybe this is why I have started out at level one. Anyway, I would be more than happy to start the masking tutorials. If you know the path than give me a heads up.
nice
You free at all this week? lol great job. Its a shame the guy that did the Obama HOPE image got arrested...
author everyone starts at level one and with entries, comments , voting etc your levels will change.. Tutorials are a great place to start to build skills ... tutorials that may help.. MASKING and USING PEN TOOL . Additionally, Dodge, burn and adding shadows. these are basic skills that will help you to improve your entries. GOOD LUCK with your future work
