Desert, oasis, badenixe, ivy, water

CMYK46 says:

Figure needs a reflection, shadows are wrong. Look at the shadow under the chin for original light source.

author says:

There are already reflections in the water. Can't you see them? It has the statue reflection and the starfish reflection and also the cloud reflection in the water. As for the shadows, they are following the same angle as the shadow on the knee and chin. See that knee shadow? It is heading slightly to the left. The chin shadow seems to be going straight down so I figured I needed to use both source shadows to make my own shadows. I made the ivy leaf and starfish shadows aim down and slightly left. The dark area you see above the leaves on the knee are cracks in the statue. Those areas are holes. The ivy is growing through those cracks.
Now if you still think the shadows are wrong, which way do you think they ought to go if not slightly down and to the left?

CMYK46 says:

The light source is almost overhead. I'd make the shadows lower and more to the right. I'd also make the reflection more visible.

author says:

I moved the shadows 6 pixels more to the right and 3 pixels further down and made the reflection more visible for you.

Tuckinator says:

cool idea the reflection is too distorted though

author says:

Ok Thanks guys I took the blur out I thought their was supposed to be a slight blur on reflections. I also took the bend of buildings in reflection because water is dead still no movement

LEEBAOREN says:

the sky colour looks wrong

author says:

What do mean sky color looks wrong? It's almost same as original on source.

rubbhan says:

very good work......

Chalty669 says:

@leebaoren, the sky isn't wrong it's your lcd monitor and the angle your looking at it. Move your head up and down to see that your screens color changes as you do so. I would suggest a displacement on the reflection though. Here is a good tutorial. http://photoshopcontest.com/tutorials/26/displacement-water.html

CMYK46 says:

The buildings & mountains are far enough away that they wouldn't be reflected in the water, just the sky.

Pop-up, oasis

JamesD says:

How would your book perform it's 'pop up' - there are no tabs to pull or push...

author says:

Take it easy Mr. JamesD.. not all are, experts like you .... I forgot to put quotes from experts....by the way, no one is perfect!!!...Not even you!!!.....Don't look if you don't like!!!!...and....see your last job (SON GOKU TOU!) ... and you know what I mean....!!!! thx for comm....!!!

nvela says:

nice job come on author dont be too harsh he was js asking.

JamesD says:

for the insult... there's no need for that... I haven't insulted anyones work!?!...

I was just asking you a question. Merely asking you to explain how it would work...

And as you mentioned my last entry Son Goku Tou atleast it was obviously a country and not a planet... i read the goals and the aims... and fulfilled them...

author says:

JamesD !!! i don't insulted you,,,,, you got it right ... you've asked you ... I've answered me .... and where is my insult? ...btw...I would be curious to know!!! however, you comm. all entries from this contest...in the future PLEASE don't bother me...ok?

Keiley22 says:

i think what james is trying to say author... as he did on my entry ( i took no offence) .. how will the peices fold over into the book. The palm trees are all posing the same way yet the two at the back should bend forward into the book when closing.. He is simply asking how would you achieve this? Maybe put tabs there to show the book will pull them forward as he told me

JamesD says:

exactly... I was merely asking a technical question... as for the not communicating you part... I don't see why I should be bullied into not asking a very honest logical question... in future, if you don't want to hear peoples opinions or answer peoples questions then don't put your piece up for public comments...
