Congratulations Oana....beautiful face.....!

Congratulations.....!

The shadows shoud be in the front. As a suggestion for your future work. Whenever the light source is behind or to the sides of an object, the shadow will always be on the back of the light, if your object is behind the light, it should be darker with a shadow at the front. If your light source comes from the right side, your shadow should be to the left, and viceversa if light comes from the left side, your shadows will be to the right. But try to work with perspective.... It is kind of difficult to understand, but if you check this link... you will understand.

Here are two different ways to cast your shadows....hope this help!

Just flip horizontal the background, and the lights will be in the right place. The perspective of the shadows have to work with the light source. The image will look better if you do so.

Good job and good use of the source. I Like your SBS. GL author.

Congrats......!

Congratulations for second and third.....!

Congratulations.....!

The light source works real well, it matches the original source..... good luck.... good idea.!

I do not know what you want to tell in this work of yours. There are some things you can do:

1- IMO, the pelican is to big, (unless you want it to be big), it should show a shadow over his chest and underneath the wings. He is not facing the sun. If you draw a triangle from the center of the sun, to the place where the girl is sitting, that would be the area covered by the shadow. Bob, is telling you what to do. You are placing the shadow over the rocks, and that does not look right.

2- If you make the pelican smaller, then the perspective will go way back, an you will be fine.

3- I also think the fish is to big. These fish are smaller, BUT if you are trying to present your own idea, then it will be up to you to make changes, I just want to give my opinion. You'll get higher votes if the image looks nicer.

Good idea.... now I know why he has a beer belly...oh and he loves cakes too! Good luck author.!

Another good work from you author. Good use of the source. Good luck!

Lovely image with a meaning. Nice colors and placement of objects. Good luck my friend.

Nicely done.... lots of work and a lovely image.... (Ready to celebrate!) GL.

That is a good contrast among the standing man, the rock and the planet. Good job! GL, BTW.

Nice image indeed. I am happy you got the right source. Good luck!

I think we, participants in some of the contests, should appreciate work from members who will to participate in the contests every week. WE NEED ENTRIES, even if they are Islands, CBR, (whatever) I do not mind if you did an island. It is a beautiful work!, As a matter of fact, you took the time to think, and come out with something you wanted to do. The reason I am saying this is that the contests say "Download the photo on the left and manipulate it any way you want" You did so....... Good luck!

Simplicity is best... You did ok, but not so difficult, good luck.
