Oh wow, that looks totally stunning! Although, if you don't mind me saying, the lines from across the nose to the edge of the horizon are a bit jagged for my liking.

good blend that expresses a lot of emotions. however, it still shows technical imperfection, for example the lines under the nose...

Thanks for the feedback. The lines under the nose were unavoidable when using that blendstyle with the stock photo. I've already got some people suggesting different blend styles and they're right.

Thanks for the feedback.

It looks just a bit off at the face, where you seem to just cut out part of the face, and make the chin really show up. Like an erasing job at that spot. Other than that bit of strange-ness to me, it's a great piece. Actually, it looks a bit dark, which is awesome. xD

I agree with `diamondie , maybe if the face shot weren't so desaturated it would stand out more?

devartdude In reply to walloftruth [2005-06-19 11:49:29 +0000 UTC]

...or perhaps resaturating the face some and desaturating the background a little? Who knows. If I can ever find the original photoshop file for this I'm going to play with it.

Thanks a lot btw.

you should use another layer type, maybe "darken" or "multiply"

devartdude In reply to garrit [2005-06-19 11:50:26 +0000 UTC]

If I can ever find the original Photoshop file I'm going to give that a try. The advice from comments night has been more than helpful enough to rework it.

Thanks for feedback.

diamondie [2005-06-18 18:33:59 +0000 UTC]

I think *foureyes 's stock picture makes up most of the image and the face shot is given a much smaller role. The pictures don't entirely fit together and this makes the attention even more drawn to the sunset shot.

devartdude In reply to diamondie [2005-06-19 11:51:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I aee what you mean. `WallOfTruth suggessted ajusting the saturation of both to fix the problem. If you have any other suggestions I'd love to hear em. Thanks!

that face gives me the creeps as its color matches with the clouds (the skin)

nice effect you got in that:

queen-ofthe-damned [2005-02-03 09:06:02 +0000 UTC]

i like this, you chose 2 really good pictures to go together, i like how the picture is in colour but the person in grey. Makes me think about the beauty int he world yet how everything can seem so drab because a person has forgotten

devartdude In reply to queen-ofthe-damned [2005-02-03 11:41:13 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you like it. It seems this piece has a lot of different interpretations. I guess it all depends on what you've gone through in your life that determines what something like this would mean to you.

Well done...the only thing is, the cloud pattern interrupts the facial expression.

I think you mean near the horizon right? Yeah, I tweaked the fade pattern some, I'm thinking about going back and seeing if I can make that a little more visible.

Yeah. It looks beautiful, but I love expressions. ^_^ Tweaking is always good for some more entertainment.

Yup, as long as you still have something meaningful on the other end.
