Description
First of all, PLEASE, full view!This was made for my friend over at WWS. I recently switched my major to Graphic Design and as such I have been hacking away at CS3, determined to tame it and become friends with it. This image took me about 3 hours, between picking out the images to use and finalizing it. I actually accidentally CLOSED OUT of it but fortunately I had previously saved it. The wolf is made of two wolves, and there are several different pictures now compiled into one. I had a wonderful time making it and I hope my friend likes it like it!

I like it! The composition is very smooth and flowing; there is something in every art of your manip that draws your eye to it, so it feels "balanced." You did an excellent job in combining the characteristics of the wolves. I never would have guessed it was a composite if you hadn't said anything. And I really like the inclusion of the koi fish.
The only thing that I would suggest is that the moon looks too stark and focused compared with the wolf. I would either blur it a little or add more hard details to the wolf (which is time-consuming to do by hand but usually worth it), or a combination of the two.
It's still a wonderful piece, though! I like the theme, with the stars flowing like a river. The imagery is creative and beautiful.

I'm not good with critique (I don't have any for this anyways), I think this is beautiful! The shadows/lighting look very nice and it is a serene picture
Great work! I can see you worked hard on it
