This is a very nostalgic peice (showing my age). I'd recommend making a layer with one laser and then duplicating that layer so they are all uniform. Then change the color and angle of each one. Also, you might try adding an outer glow and a little bit of noise to your lasers for a touch more realism. Finally, the dancers shadow makes him look two dimensional. Try blurring the shadow a bit. Good luck.

I would work on the perspective of the letter and the box of colored pencils. You might want to try to fix the edges around some of the hanging pictures as well. I can see the original paper on some of them.

I'm just wondering why you picked a background that's so gritty and pixelated? Even in low res you can tell.

nice idea but i thinnk you need to work on the shadow of the dog.. instead of useing the drop shadow. make a duplicate copy of the dog layer select the 1st layer by pressing ctrl+click then go to select modify and feather and fill with black ctrl+D to deselect and then work on that layer as your shadow .. its one of the main ways i do it . g/l

Don't you see the cast shadows from the railing at left??? Where is the wood lightest? On the LEFT side...shadows are on the RIGHT side...the light source is on the LEFT for cryin' out loud.

Much better on the grass. Needs probably some blur to match better but it's better than it was before. Thanks for taking my criticism.

The resolutions between the copper canisters and the background are really different. I would suggest cloning some of the real grass, rather than making artificial grass. Just using blur will help the differece in resolitions.

I hope you dont mind a little feedback for improvement-remember it is just my opinion: explore the shadows on the extra people you have created. maybe shadows on the ground- use light source and shadow from building as reference. also explore the shadows around the feet. On the UP SIDE this is a nice entry and meets the theme very well. A TIP: How to create shadows: create a brush from your people. using TRANSFORM & Warp to position shadow on ground... you may like to check with other commenters to see if my opinion is on track. GL

It's got some kind of dizzying affect to me! The bricks on the ground give the illusion that the wall is really far away. But the bricks on the wall are so big in comparison that the wall must be miles high! But then with the photos of the planes the height of the wall kinda makes sense. I like it!
