good effects but i think the person stands out too much due to everything being in blue tones and the person being so dark

Hmmm... one of sand and one of lime... If well the main composition has a precious scenario and also it's magnificently worked out... I wonder why in the world you hat to put the girl's figure in such amateurish way. It looks like a sticky paste and sends the wonderful previous work to waste .

amateurish way...
yeah...its my first ever photomanipulation, i did try to blur the edges so she would look like she was actually there, but for some reason it really didnt work.

MaestroTomberi In reply to saphia [2007-04-03 16:18:24 +0000 UTC]

hmmm... even like that you may leave some spaces.

You coudl use wether the feather cut in order to make the pic blend with the rest of the composition, or/and... well add some shadows so it can grow in volume and not look just flat.

But as the main hint: experiment with it and you'll find a way .

this is lovely, but I think that the girl could perhaps be toned down a little just to blend in with the rest of the atmosphere.

maeglinsorrowbringer [2007-04-02 20:01:26 +0000 UTC]

i really like it but maybe you can increase the blue and decrease the red of the girl that would work better... it is of course my point of view...

Amazing manip, especially since it's a first try! I never would have thought it was~ I'd like to see a larger version though.

adornoir [2007-04-01 00:08:22 +0000 UTC]

hmm. it looks a bit artificial, but if that's your first manip, i would say, you did a great job!
in my view the woman in the centre sticks too much out.
but on the whole this piece is very able to originate a certain feeling.

Shavera [2007-03-23 00:12:13 +0000 UTC]

I love how the piece is so devoid of colors except for the blue. It really draws attention to the girl at the fountain. I also like how you didn't center her smack dab in the middle of the piece but just a bit off center! Beautiful piece!

Well,if this is your first manipulation,then you are really talented...
I can`t see the picture well because its small...but its really nice!

Very nice concept! I really like the colors and the details! I wish it was a bit bigger though. Keep up the great work!

Puckthewanderer [2007-03-20 00:46:07 +0000 UTC]

I love the detail on the fountain. Nothing is lost, despite the low contrast between that and the background. Feel like the area around the girl could be touched up a tad, but I love the piece as a whole.

zardo [2007-03-19 08:51:42 +0000 UTC]

i saw it before it is a good manip and the scenary is just fine but the differents elements isn't in harmony. I mean the sides of every elements are cut. it will be better with a little blur around each piece

LoFu [2007-03-18 21:16:52 +0000 UTC]

Very nice, only thing I can say is try working a bit on blanding the model into the background a little bit better as her dark dress stands our quite a lot.

RealCapri [2007-03-18 16:15:13 +0000 UTC]

It's beautiful. I think the success of doing matt painting relies alot on blending in different elements into one whole flawlessly. So take note of their lighting conditions, shadows & the quality of the different images to be added, etc. Try softening the edge of the girl & adding some shadows at the bottom would enhance it further.

Just hope to share my views that's all, hope you won't mind
