Description
Updated with a better blur but still couldn't fix the shadowsWhen I saw the stock of that man standing and starring I instantly knew what I was going to do. It inspired me right away.
I wanted to add a man with the hands spread, like screaming YEAAAAAAAAAHHHH but I didnt find a stock image like that, maybe because I didn't search for it, hehe.
If you would like a photoshop tutorial about this artwork, post a comment.
Hope you like it.

Actually I really enjoy it that way - the man simply standing there. Waiting or watching. I think that a screaming man would be too much whilst this is between personal interpretation: is he watching the beautiful new day coming ahead or is he committing suicide. This is not clear and I like this uncertainty. You created this very well because he is standing so close to the edge the viewer fears he might fall.
The only thing that I do not like that much is the brighter lines at the bottom of his legs. Especially on his right leg, at the inside.
When it comes to the unsharp parts i would suggest using a different photoshop filter - for example the "lens blur".
Also I would have mirrored the city - because of the sunlight and the shadows. The shadow of the trees goes in the opposite direction to where the sun is. I did not notice this instantly but now that I noticed it, it really distracts me, somehow.
Finally I would like to say that I really enjoyed your composition e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="

Good critique. The only thing I disagree with is the light on the inside of the leg. Not sure why you don't like it. To me it looks really convincing.

Thank you so much. I agree with what you said. I kinda rushed this and I didn't notice the shadows of the trees.
About the blur... ur also right, the gaussian blurr is pretty bad. I will have to get a good blur plugin since lens blur is almost no difference to me, maybe cause I don't know how to use it.
Thanks a lot

thanx. The only thing that cam out a bit messy is the blur. I will download a plugin or something and I will update it.
Actually I will write a tutorial about it. Maybe by the next week or so.

Damn, what sort of blur did you use on the background?? i try to figure out, but i really have no idea, and tis effect is great? is there any topaz on it? honestly?

I used the Gausian blur and I reduced the opacity but it looks kinda messy.

i can't trust you only use the gaussian blur it seems so different!

Because I added a Layer mask and I used a light opacity soft brush and I masked some zones of the artwork
