54 Oct 18 Comment I live in a foothills area in northern NJ where we often see clouds trapped among the hills. It's as lovely as the scene you have created. The pink and blue sky is icing on the cake. Next time there are clouds among the hills, I'll keep my eye out for a surfer because he adds so much to your composite. Nice work. Oct 2nd
54 Oct 18 Comment This is a composite that one would like to walk into. The forest is inviting, and the soldiers seem to be friendly even though you say they are on their way to battle. The child in the composite is out of focus but the plants in the same plane are in focus. I find this distracting. From my point of view of a nice day to be in the woods, I would take out the child. It draws my eye away from the soldiers and the forest. "But the woods are lovely, dark and deep" to quote Robert frost. Oct 2nd
54 Oct 18 Comment The lack of color in your composite combined with the yellow works well with the subject matter. It draws the viewer into the scene easily. There are a couple of things, however, that you might want to consider. The reptile in Original 2 is a salamander. He has a leg and his skin is moist. Putting the bird in the snakes eye is distracting because that eye could not see the bird in front of the moon. Personally, I would have kept his eye. It's beautiful. You seem to have an incomplete circle drawn around the moon which is also distracting. I feel this is a very good start at a successful composite, but the challenge we all face in constructing composites is to be creative while paying attention to detail. Oct 2nd
54 Oct 18 Comment It's not often one sees a skeleton praying which would immediately draw the attention of the viewer were it not for the brightness of the subject of its adoration. The composition is well executed, it's an eye-catching composite, and the light cast on the rocks helps bring the mysterious object to life. Composites are challenging because of the need for attention to detail. It impacts us all. The paper in the drawing of the skeleton shows in the skeleton's upper legs and lower rib cage. The pen tool is wonderful for removing annoying extraneous pieces that are hard to get at. The light in your composite is certainly hypnotic, but personally I prefer the original red circle. Oct 2nd
