very nice.. the sky is supposed to be negative? this is very well done
(198 days ago)

vicspa [lvl 33] [vp 1000] [ 16]:

Very nice, but the sky and its reflection are different, and there is grass reflecting that does not exist on the land part, try to correct if you can.
Also the large tree on left could use a little defringe on the edges.

ronald [lvl 16] [vp 1000] [ 69]:

BEAUTIFULL!!! Great job.

FairyGardens [lvl 12] [vp 1000] [ 77]:

vicspa, you have a good eye for details... agree with you. Castle and bits are almost as original - and that's why I said you found a 'perfect' source... really nice
(198 days ago)

vicspa [lvl 33] [vp 1000] [ 16]:

Thanks FairyGardens, it is a perfect source, sometimes I get anal about the details in reflections etc. but I think what I suggested will help in enhancing the mood, of this piece.
There is a slight white outline on the tree and the castle that the defringe filter would correct.

ronald [lvl 16] [vp 1000] [ 69]:

Great weork author, but there is alot and i mean alot of light comparing it to the clouds/weather. Could have some light but maybe make it a litte darker as going to the castle. (also you could then add some lights inside the castle)
(202 days ago)

Mr Big [lvl 14] [vp 1000] [ 196]:

Ronald may have a point about the light, but darkening it may lose some of the detail I think t should stay as is. Excellent blend, very nice image. Top Marks!!

it sopoues to be snow or light?????
(201 days ago)

author:

Thanks for th comments and suggestions. I tried to make the brightest spots a little darker without losing too much contrast. Think of it as a day with sudden burst of lights breaking through the snowshowers.

hilleke [lvl 35] [vp 2000] [ 704]:

I'd make the second part of the path smaller, and towards the last curve, it should be very small... But it's a beautiful image, well done !

I have created this image using 5 layers of the path. I've created the sphere myself in photoshop and placed a picture of earth that I purchased from Dreamstime.com (within copyright).
A SBS will take some time to do, so unless you are interested in seeing how I have created this I will not post one. My time is limited unfortunately.
Hope you like this anyway!

Nice concept. Apart from some little bumps well blended.

Colors are really nice, background is lovely. My only issue is the girl. She seems a little bit lower res. Nice job!
(200 days ago)

milkins [lvl 15] [vp 1000] [ 85]:

I like it but confused about woman - reflection should be trensparent and woman herself should be darked (according of wich lightspring you think is main - complete or just right side, left for viewer). Backround is pretty good.

i likey! woman's face seems a bit blurry to me, especially as compared to sharpness of tree & moon; which is only bothersome 'cuz my eye is continually drawn to her as central point in picture.
