Edit:
Change the background hue, burn the nerves of the leaves and modify the layer style of some leaves. (5 years and 3619 days ago)
I LIE THIS IDEA , keep on going
Not a bad image, but change the background hue to create depth & it will have more dimension.
Nice work and it'll be better if you follow CMKY's suggestion. Good tutorial too
Maybe add some less sharp leaves to. to give the image a dof...
Apart from what's written above, maybe the use of (I guess) drop shadow doesnt work everywhere. The shadow would fall on underlying leaves, not on the background which -I assume- is way further away. Right now the shadows against the background make the image flat, while it can have loads of depth (in combination with above's comments). Good luck!
Loads of depth.Attempt to improve, I'm not good at drawing. Thanks.
Howdie stranger!
