The Dream in a Puddle

final rank: 1 out of 20 entries

Okay this piece was inspired by UmbraDeNoatpe-stock picture of a puddle. Its a brilliant puddle that jumped out at me as soon as I saw it. I closed my eyes and took this mental picture you see now... I just had to get it into photoshop and turn it into a dream. The title says it all. It took me around 4 days to finish it but I think the florals, colours, light and dark, and finally magic really give that digital fantasy feel all within a puddle.

I loved doing this and can't wait to do the next. You can see the bird ruffling its feathers to the right of toadstool (bottom center).

Thanks. Paul

Would've liked to see some more of the source. Like the colours.

needs more focus on the source. seeing this pic on the right side icon, i assumed it was for the grass/sky contest, the colors are so similar. it's a pretty piece!

You might want to think about putting some depth in it by using some haze, it would make it more natural. Maybe a tiny blur on the horizon, there's some edges showing. Would be a shame not to fix it because it's a gourgeous image!

Great dreamscape, but without seeing the hi res you can't really see the source.

I think it looks really pretty, but it has nothing to do with the PST source.
