I believe the light direction of the lady is opposite of the source image. Try a horizontal flip of her and I think it will work better. I like the different tone of your work.

this would be very good if you lowered the brides opacity to make her look transparent like a ghost...just a thought

Soliloquy of Destitude
avatar spaceranger

I don't understand the title. A soliloquy is a dialog by a person as if they were alone. i.e. " To be or not to be...". Destitude isn't a word. Destitute is poverty or having no possessions. Curious as to what you meant. Image is interesting, girl looks a little washed out. Try as robvdn suggests that would improve the effect.

very nice chop but i think light on the face shouldn't´t be so intense beside that wonderful job, good luck

Very nice image! You could make it more dramatic by adding shadows on the outside of the girl, there's a lightsource on the back which can justify that. And you can use the orb as a lightsource coming from the front which lights the front of the girl. This will attrack more attention to the inside of the image.

Just a tip

on the left side of the girl it is looking like a cut out... its the lighting thats doing it too her so not your fault see if you can play with that spot a bit to blend into rest of image goodluck, its a nice image.

This is gorgeous! I really love the clouds and the boosted contrast. I also like the ravens' extended feathers -- definitely succeeds in making it feel otherworldly. Something you might consider for the future would be to make a stronger distinction between foreground and background, e.g. the woman looks rather big compared to the large rock face because it's a little difficult to see that she's much closer. Maybe a few larger plants in the foreground to contrast with some smaller ones over by the rock would help communicate the sense of depth.

Nice dark & moody scene! would agree the lady is a perfect find you may want to bring her levels up a touch as she is pretty dark compared to the rock she is next too.

It's a good idea, but the extension of the arms doesn't work. The edges go abruptly from sharp to blurry, and there's no hair on the extended parts.

The black stroke around the grades at the right part doesn't look good, maybe try to use a gray color to match more the metal.
The hand's shadows on the metal are not looking good, try to make it more realistic. Great idea overall, love it
