Nice image GL

good..

I would probably darken her arm and face just a little as the light source is behind her, but overall a nice chop.

Thank you all for your comments. @RayTedwell:How do you know the light source is behind her ? I intended to place the glowing stars around her, and they are very bright so she becomes glowing, too. They are flying around, so you can not say exactly where they are.

I think it's the best one so far. It's nice to see people try and remember that this is an art contest and make it look interesting

... because the front of her dress and part of her arm are dark, at least the right side (or left as we see it) of her face would be a little darker. I am happy for ther to be another light source, as long as it is consistant. I guess you dont have to follow the rules of convention if you have multiple flying stars though .

@RayTedwell: Actually I did made the shadow on her face and body but laterly I think her face is the most valuable area on this picture, so I decided to lighten up by the stars aroud, also this made the scenery more mystic

Very nice!

If you tried and it didnt look like you wanted - then I applaud you for leaving it out. The image is still lovely, and it would be a shame to darken out such a cute little face anyway! I hope you don';t take any offence to my suggetions, just trying so share my perspective. Good luck in this contest - you clearly have one of the best chops here. Cheers

Very realistic rain.. great job!

oH, That is just too cute! Great work!

Poor little creatures

i love their expressions!

nice characters!

Nice work and very cute critters. Good Luck!!!

Good one.

You might want to soften the glasses a little bit. They seem a tab bit sharper than the rest but other than that, this is a really unique chop. Well done !

EDIT: yeah, much better. This is definitely going to be a strong contender. You used the source so well and made for some interesting chopping. Well done author!

Thanks Jawshoewhah! You were right.

Nice idea... good luck author

nice

Oh, he looks sad

I think this one should have won

aww thats sweet

Simple but I really like this. Recommend streching the shadow a bit. I don't think a shadow at that angle would have the same perspective as the object casting it.

I did change the perspective a bit. . but I was reluctant to overdo it because I was afraid that the couple's silhouette might get unrecognizable. . .

Like it GL

i like it! nice job

simple, but effective. love the idea!I also love kisses

Nice idea, but a lot of hard edges on the cat, rough selections on the bridge, and you could have reconstructed parts of the cat's feet & blurred the shadow...

Agree with The master above masking needs to be worked on.

soften the edges of the cat and the shadow. plus i feel that the cat would be darker from having the light source behind it hope that helps

I see where you getting at, but work on the right railing on the bridge, it has rough edges. And the cat shadow should be directly in front with the other shadows, and soften a bit. Other then that, great work.

in an attempt to soften the edges i think you just blurred the entire image.. instead try going around the edges with a soft layer mask or eraser so that the fur looks more realistic

I'm not sure what it looked like before but ponti is right. It's too blurry now.

I love what you tried to create... if you not sure what people mean by edge softening etc. feel free to message me and i will explain and give a couple of ideas how to go about it... GL>
