Some edges are too hard, others too blurry. Good idea, though.

interesting idea.... kind of dark, but good.... good luck.

nice mood...gl

Congrats for our second place, Layerstack!

Congrats!!

I think it can be better without the texture effect, and with playing with light. Good luck author !

Great concept. I do agree with Lolu though ...You can add very nice and easily editable textures by:

Add a 50 percent gray layer with the blend mode set on Soft Light (Overlay and Hard light work too ... just stronger); apply filters (you can combine them until you get a look that you like - e.g. stain glass, monochromatic noise ...you can do this in more than 1 layer). You can warp them or transform them; you can paint some out or back in (using gray); you can blur or sharpen.

Once you think you like what you have created. Voila! You now have a texture that you can work on, change opacity, lighten (use lighter grays to white), darken (use darker grays to black) and all without harming the main image.

Trick: the neutral gray layer is also a great way to play with the lighting almost like dodge and burn but non-destructive ... use white for highlights, black to darken and/or intensify and 50 percent gray to bring back to neutral (no change).

Arca gives a nice tip, you can try it. Beautiful image, though.

nice

I like the treatment here, it really looks like one pic.
