Ooh, very nice!. The lighting looks great, although maybe you might want to try playing with making it more high-contrast--it might make the overall image more dramatic. As for the skull, you might try to make it more contrasted to the mirror surface; it's hard to see right now. Also you might consider blending the edges of the skull more.

Hm :/ I rather like this piece! Just one little thing that bothers me: The skull. It seems like it doesn'tbelong in the picture. OR maybe what I'm suggesting is to blend it in more with the mirror. Then it wouldn't feel so out of place. But then again, death is out of whack isn't it? I love the lighting of this photo. It makes her seem much more innocent. Great job!

I like the direction you took in making this photomanip, solid theme with the whole "omg it's a cute girl, oh wait there's death involved too lol that's epic."

One major thing is that most people that I see don't even recognize the skull to start off. That could hurt a bit because some people won't even realize what it means and just browse pass it. However, you did it so that the light focus became the left side onto the face instead of the original photo where it was the whole dress. That definitely helped a lot.

The lighting is pretty good in general, however, I think if you want to make it so it expresses the point more, you should crop out some of the darker areas like the bottom left corner in general. That would draw the focus in and it would make it look a lot better.


Hope I was able to help, great work!

I must say I like the whole "acceptance of death" idea and the idea of the skull in the mirror is original. However, the only thing I don't like is the fact that the skull overlaps the reflection of the woman's hair and I find it a bit distracting from the whole idea of the picture. Also, I think that the right corner with all the roses is a bit too dark in comparison to the bright white of the dress. Everywhere else the light is beautiful
Nice concept and beautiful model

I Adore!! this foto!

Rockin the skull x3
The only thing you could have tried was to create more of a light and dark contrast within the dress.
Right now, in the left corner, you can see the shadow of the end of the dress. If that would have been lighter, it may have made it look asif the dress is still miles long.

Like I said, I don't know for sure if that would make it look better, it's just a guess that it may be a slight improvement.

Seriousely I love your foto ^.^

the skull doesn't seem right, it's too big and it doesn't fit the mood of the picture, it actually makes it look tacky.
otherwise, this is a very good photomanip, i like the way all the elements are coming together in terms of color and composition.

the skull is part of the whole concept though, being calm in the face of death.

I think the image is great I cant see anything wrong with this picture only that I would make it so the skull shows on the part of the mirror with her head for some reason it just doesnt look right to me but thats my personal opinion if you want it like that then it looks good XD

Everything about this looks really good, besides the lighting. I think to make it more mysterious it should have more intensity in it, like shadows, etc, so bumping up the contrast would look good. The skull in the mirror looks perfect though! Very creepy.

The lighting in this picture seems perfect, it is on the brink of being too emphasized, but this picture looks beautiful, by far. I love the skull in the mirror, im curious as to how you came up with that idea. Great work.

I don't really think about the stuff I do...I just put things together that I think would convey some sort of concept, idea, or whatever emotion I'm feeling then.
