Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


Well, to start, the image and theme are beautiful. It is a very skillful, even masterful display of photo-manipulation.

One thing that feels off, after careful observation of the image, is the lighting. While "luminosity" and overall light are carefully blended together, to create what seems like a unified image, the light direction is not.

If you look at the boat and the vulture (is it?) the light is hitting from right to left. While the clouds and moon suggest the light coming from left to right.

This is by no means a deal breaker... for it does not show at first sight, and most might not notice it. However, it is there.

As a possible solution, I would suggest flipping horizontally the clouds and moon separately to keep the moon where it is... the reason being that the composition is beautiful.

It is a very interesting project... and an admirable effort. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your great attention to my work, At the last day of editting this i had noticed this matter but i was being extreamly lazy and could not be bothered with editting anymore, i wanted to move on.. lol

I guess your method of flipping the images horizontal could be the fast solving solution to this problem, i will most certainly try it out and get back to you at this for your honest opinion, Thanks a million for the detailed critique!

haha, I get the laziness... i sure have been there, and I don't do as elaborate work as yourself... but merely post processing some of my images.

You're welcome for the critique, it is a wonderful way for me (or anyone) to keep learning and improving my attention to details... again, thank you for sharing... but mostly, thank you for the kind words

~ Ethereal. I am so enamoured with the night sky. What lovely contrast between the deep polished ebony of the flesh and the pale luminescence of the clouds. Magnificent work.
