Cool! I like that you used a square comp for this one - it helps establish the theme quite well. I think that you need a levels adjustment though to really get a truer black out of it... I made a quick adjustment on it and for such a little change, it made it a much stronger comp (in my opinion). Just being picky - you should be real careful with the placement of the squares on the edges of the comp - since this is such a strong positive/negative space comp, the areas where its off a bit detracts... and (sorry, I'm being way picky, huh? lol) there are a few squares you forgot to color...

Okay piece of work. Perhaps a little bit too simple, and I think it was a little bit too blurry. But keep it up =)

This is supposed to be mystical, hence the dice look like they're appearing from a mist.

author:

This took the best part of three hours, the masking and sphere alone took two hours just to get right. I like this piece because it's simple, and says alot about the dice without being OTT.

Very original and personally, the simplicity works very well for me here. The only thing that I might consider is moving the subjects down lower in the composition... the current height feels off-balance to me.

Alan2641 [lvl 16] [vp 1000] [ 727]:

good idea - masking of the dice could use a touch up around the edges -- seem a bit too sharp

I used the wooden table and applied it to the apple and used the dice to enhance the bracelet

rijkjavik [lvl 22] [vp 1000] [ 167]:

verry nice, but the apple looks not laying in the left hand he is floating mayby make the apple a little bigger

rijkjavik [lvl 22] [vp 1000] [ 167]:

Hey, nice idea I like it. Like how you did the apple.

Lil_Flac_3 [lvl 8] [vp 187] [ 8]:

the bottom hand looks a little too choppy on the palm area. besides that I like it. oh maybe u could add a glow 2 the apple as well. just a suggestion tho

I like it , but the apple looks little flat, to me. My opinion only

Thanks for your comments. I've tweaked it a little bit

robdb78 [lvl 8] [vp 179] [ 0]:

maybe if you would put a little curve on the straight lines on the apple, that could give it move a 3d look

I hope everyone likes this, I worked very hard on it. I tried to use the dice as much as possible. I used them as dice (of course) and I used them for the top of the table and the seats of the chairs. Everything was created with Photoshop Elements. Comments are welcome and appreciated.

Special edition? when can I order? Nice entry the only thing that looks a little off is the dice they look warped.
