This is a good study in proportioning. I'm kind liking it.

The light source is from the right, so the Earth should be flipped accordingly.

I know the Earth looks way too big and the craters way too small but it was not meant to be realistic. More of a, Dog in a space suit standing in front of a wallpaper, thing. But as CMYK46 mentioned, I messed up the lighting and positioning a bit

Thank you for the comments! I'll try and fix it ASAP

if we can see the curvature of the moon then we should see the same shadow on the earth (easy fix)
good luck

Cool concept. But there are some shadow issues: shell on bird body, steering poles on shell and bird body.

Also, the rope is not in her left hand... It is behind it. Mask that hand below the fingers to have the rope thside her hand at the bottom.

ok thanks hope its ok now

Would be more believable if the shell were a lot smaller, like saddle sized. Otherwise it's a fun image.

looks much better now... and i just noticed the tail end of another bird you placed to the left of the image... i liek the idea of a squadron of these, why not group some together in the distance behind her? great stuff!

i was thinking to do so but can't get models i dont want to use the same model

The lens flare bothers me a little, and I'm not sure why the vignette disappeared, I liked it better because it helps focus on the bear. Otherwise, a cute idea

thanks kid! i'll make a few adjustments!

The image is intending to be photo-realistic. I placed the lense flare in the position it is in as it is similar to how an actual lense flare would be in this scene. I understand that it will distract your eyes slightly from the image, but that is kind of the purpose of it. I have greatly reduced it's intensity from what it was to begin with. Thank you for your time and input on my image!

good idea but what is the white on back of head. just wondering

Thanks for the comment. It arrived due to a lousy selection round tuft of hair - I have not mastered the smart radius etc in CS5, but I quite liked it and as I was short on time I left it!

excellent work

It's a good collage, but you could have used dirt from anywhere to create this.

great job on the depth
