Looks great !

I like your idea... but a kite flier never lets the kite go behind them... you always keep the kite infront so you can control it.

(1 year and 48 days ago)

I appreciate what you are saying madamemonty but seeing that the girl is running then the the kite has to be behind her.
(1 year and 48 days ago)

shadows bad, line no perspective bad
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Yeh I 'spose... with an old one string diamond shaped kite you would run to get lift off... but a 2 stringed kite is always kept in front of you so you can manoeuvre it! ... I fly...
(1 year and 48 days ago)

gorgeous!!! I suggest you to resize your work (now 600X800). Change by 450X600. And another think: a shadow from the lines..but very soft (not an easy work my friend).

And, change the direction of the kite shadow, now is wrong
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Why did you choose to keep the horizon line tilted?
(1 year and 48 days ago)

cool stuff! But the girl is not running, she just enjoys the sun on her face knowing the kite behind her is well up in the air. If she was running (what I thought of first, too) then there would be footprints in the sand behind her.

I agree on the shadow of the kite though. The way it is up in the air and the sun I think it should be narrower, almost a thick line on the ground, and it should be on the other side. My personal oppinion, look at the background, the sun comes from the right. You should flip the girl horizontally, the shadow on her does not compare to the background.
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Agree with Devi too....

About the kite shadow here is my suggestion:

(1 year and 48 days ago)

not bad work, but shadows is not very good its not act compatibile with other composition and hair under hat is not good too. be more carefull with details, because than is not perfect work...
(1 year and 48 days ago)

nice n clean work author

great use of sources!
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Very clever ! nice use of the source ! but there is, like they said, something wrong with the shadow, I think it's a hard job because the sand is perfec... maybe if the sand has more texture and imperfections, your shadow could look better... just an idea, I know it could take lots of extra work....
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Wow!! Amazing response in such a short time. Very good and constructive comments, and I will make good use of them and make some alterations. Thank you everyone who took the time.
(1 year and 48 days ago)

very good one well done
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Ok. After reading all the comments and suiggestions I tried to please everyone and hope that you will all approve. Many thanks to all for your imput.
(1 year and 48 days ago)

amazing work
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Good imagination! Composition could be tweaked a little.
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Aw, I liked the other one a ton better! The girl now looks out of place, the kite made sense to her arms, the ice cream does not convince me.

The guy looks too bored with the kite, the girl gave the image a special feeling! PLEASE, can we have the other one back?

(1 year and 48 days ago)

I agree with Deri, please give the girl the kite string... as she's running on wet sand and the water is going out I don't think there would be much left of her foot prints.

(1 year and 48 days ago)

OK I persuaded the guy to part with his kite. I hope finally you are all happy. Thats it no more changes whatever happens.
(1 year and 48 days ago)

WOW!!!!Unbelievable.High score.Anyway the hadow looks weird.
(1 year and 47 days ago)

nice one
(1 year and 46 days ago)

fine one making a kite a but i see some probe in finger,but nice idea
(1 year and 46 days ago)

It is great like that ! finger prints are a clever addition, your idea was just great from the beginning, congratulations
(1 year and 46 days ago)

Lovely Execution of the idea.

WOW!!!!! that is the perfect word
(1 year and 48 days ago)

thank you
(1 year and 48 days ago)

great idea and well executed
(1 year and 48 days ago)

theres a problem with the perspective.. if you look at the girls feet they are obvious placed far in front of the woman with the french flag... but the girls arm seems to be behind the woman with the french flag.. unless this was meant as surealism it needs fixed.. I would recommend putting the girls arm in front of the woman with the french flag. I hold my vote. edit: please show ya sources too!

(1 year and 48 days ago)

I think you should warm up the whites on the american flag, they look very cool while the french is very warm. Delacroix was an excellent painter.

(1 year and 48 days ago)

Very nice... You could try and change the girl's skin colour into the same colour as the rest of the people? A bit of yellow over the layer might fix the flag colour at the same time.

(1 year and 48 days ago)

is this better?
(1 year and 48 days ago)

thank's for the constructive comments
(1 year and 48 days ago)

yes is better but i am with the hilleke and the orbit.. the skin color could use some adjustments too.. but the perspective is fixed now

(1 year and 48 days ago)

Little time travelling.

(1 year and 48 days ago)

i have a very old crt monitor.....offf...

here it looks ok
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Very good entry, source fits very well.
(1 year and 48 days ago)

i have changed the colour....hope this is better, thank s guys
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Same as Solkee, well done.
(1 year and 48 days ago)

I really like this, but somehow her rifht hand looks too long.
(1 year and 47 days ago)

some problems with color at the girls
(1 year and 47 days ago)

It could use a little integration improvement, such as color and textue, but high marks for the idea alone.
Someone is going to have to work hard to beat this one.
(1 year and 47 days ago)

The right hand is twice as long as the left, mr. Delacroix.

(1 year and 47 days ago)

brilliant idea, but definitely needs some more work..
(1 year and 46 days ago)

i have reduced the lenght of the hand and changed the integration color, hope it is better, thank's for the comments
(1 year and 46 days ago)

Clever idea! good and hard work! but I think her right arm still seems a bit too long
(1 year and 46 days ago)

i love the shadeing the everything in this photo it yells america land of the free!!
(1 year and 45 days ago)

great look
(1 year and 42 days ago)

(1 year and 48 days ago)

very good perspective, very good shadows, very good color, very good originality, very good humour. easyly and good
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Very good, but maybe the face could be a little less sharp and the shadows in the inner sleeve shirt could be a little lighter too
(1 year and 48 days ago)

He has girly arms...
(1 year and 48 days ago)

His arms look way too young. See if you can make them look older...
(1 year and 48 days ago)

(1 year and 48 days ago)

Thanks for all the comments. Those help me a lot. Than I improved: the arms, inner sleeves, less sharp at the face....

(1 year and 48 days ago)

I would never use his image for any reason and certainly not with "old glory"!!
(1 year and 48 days ago)

Good work.
