Windmill of Futures Past - created by willis


Windmill of Futures Past
Favs: 0SBS: 13Hi-resRank: 9/19Score: 55.2% (0)6924 views

I wanted to try and combine this challenge with the one next to it.
I thought the juxtaposition of modern architecture with the old world windmill would be cool.
I added the lightning rod to further the concept of past meets future

Cool idea & mood. You might want to shadow the tops of some of the windows if the light is external. If the light is internal, then never mind.

I like the mood of this...try and put some variation of tone in the windows. I don't think all the windows would have the same brightness...just a suggestion.

author says:

TY both for the advice. I did intend the light to seem internal but perphaps should have used some glow and some burn to emphasize that. My biggest personal complaint after looking at it again is that I would have transformed the propeller to the appropriate angle! oh well hindsight is 20/20

great use of source.. well constructed. druid in sky is a lovely touch it pulls the image together. GL

I love the image.. everything except for the man in the sky. You created stonehenge beautifully, and i think that that alone is good enough to earn you very high marks. I'll hold my vote for the moment.

Lelaina says:

Great composition and idea! I really like the peaceful feeling and how you drew the cape of the man I'm usually not a big fan of placing people anywhere in pictures, where they normally don't belong, but in this case it fits so good! Just two small things, that I noticed. Maybe you could work a bit on his cape, where the cape meets the "stones". There is a white outline and maybe it could look better, if you'd fill these white outlines, so it looks more like he is completely behind the stones and not so cut off. (If that was your intend, just ignore that )

avatar Lelaina
Lelaina says:

The second thing: maybe you could darken the grass a bit, cause the front looks like a very bright and sunny day. And considering the mood of the whole picture and how the sun is positioned I'd expect the grass to be a bit darker. Not much, just a little. These are the two things Maybe that can help a little. But like I said: other than that it's really good! Good luck

author says:

Thanks everyone for the great compliments, and thanks Lelaina for the tips, I did fix those little things. appreciate your tip also ponti55.

Beauty from Past - created by Nellista


Beauty from Past
Favs: 3SBS: 19Hi-resRank: 5/19Score: 61.7% (24)25339 views

For this entry I thought of something different. The top part of the merry-go-round made me think of a hat....so that was my starting point.
I found a great portrait photo taken by "Fetishfaerie " on deviantart. I selected all merry-go-round and after that only the top side. I resized it slightly and added it on top of girl's head.
I added tassels and gause.
I selected only the tail from the most visible red horse on the merry-go-round.
I used warping, resizing and distorting to get the shape of the high collar and the top of the dress. I didn't want to recreate the entire dress as I planned to put shadows on the left side of the image.
I added jewelries on top of dress and face (blending mode multiply).
I colored the dress, added mask, blended. I also added a small horse from the source image in the middle of the corset and dropped shadow.
In the end, I added old frame, added a texture to make it look like a painting, also added a slight dry brush filter, colored more and added brightness/contrast using adjustment layers.

SBS upcoming!
