54 Jan 25 Reply Thanks Peggy! Yes, I see what you mean about the dark corner and that is something for me to work on. Maybe I can add another image to the composite there that would fit better. Thanks again. --Matt Jan 15th
54 Jan 25 Reply Thanks Kirsti for your thoughtful feedback. I wanted to show how it looked before the shell texture. I obviously would have softened the image lines but this gives you an idea. As you can tell, I used the texture with a mask to fill in a lot of the spaces to bring it together. Thanks again! --Matt Jan 15th
54 Jan 25 Comment Ah Bruce, this is such a compelling story image, classic and yet dramatic. Your blend of the character and the hair train came out terrific. It's a creative mix that really works with the painterly effect and aging techniques.
I noticed the line between the sky and the building on the left side is a bit skewed and not sure you did that intentionally (but w/o so on the right). The figurine's skin tone is quite pale, again perhaps intentionally. Overall, I really love it.

54 Jan 25 Comment Hi Brad, What a terrific concept! The up and down elements of the water really give the viewer a lot to consider as we've all scene one side or another.
As others suggested, the people sizing could be adjusted, but they do add a sense of realism that I appreciate. My favorite part of the image is the depth that you added as you processed the lower cavern and how you 'fixed' the sky on the top to create such grandiosity.

54 Jan 25 Comment Hi Maria, Oh my, this is quite a scene you have created! It reminds me of something out of a Greek mythology movie where a creature has escaped from a temple. The figure is incredible and the mask so well suits the scene. My favorite element is the crack texture in the stairs and building that you added, so terrific!
I like the sky but it seems a bit artificial which is odd to say in a scene like this one. Maybe it's the transition from the smooth sides to the top.
Overall, you've created a fantasy masterpiece!

54 Jan 25 Comment Hi Alan, You are extremely adept at incorporating these walking figures in your doorways, and this one is no exception. The shadows, perspective and placement are perfect.
At first, I wasn't sure if you were going for somewhat of a mirror effect given the desaturation on the far side of the door. I might have kept a bit more of the original color by the stairs for more of a continuum between the front and back.
As an image, the frames within frames are very compelling and enhance the intrigue. Very well done.

54 Jan 25 Comment Hi Peggy, I really appreciate the color selections that you bring to the group, so pleasing. This image invokes a very positive emotion. It's ironic you are using snow to add those sparks of spring light. I might have placed the flower head a bit higher in the image, but otherwise, it's a joyous creation. Jan 8th
54 Jan 25 Comment Hi Kirsti, I enjoyed reading how your image came into being, and it's a fascinating one. Thanks for showing the color version, though the B&W is more pleasing to my eye. I really like the placement and how you sized the forms relative to the background. Your stars work just fine for me.
I might have toned down the opacity of the background (or darkened it) within the 'ghosts' to emphasize them a bit more. Either way, it's a real pleasure to view.
