And I have to thank you for putting it to good use! For some reason, only 2 of my over 1k stock pictures have ever been used in anything... I would suggest you to search "Foden" and "AEC" in my gallery for some sweet british trucks. You can use anything, even if it's not labeled as a stock photo!

there's a reflection of a cloud that's not there. and the water is too blue for its position

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

bataulai In reply to MrAwesome45 [2017-11-22 13:43:56 +0000 UTC]

About the reflection effect, yes you're right, I should've removed the cloud.
About the color of the water, I did it intentionally. The ground was initially monotonous, so I added some vibrant color effects. I thought in photo manipulation,  the exaggeration could be acceptable in some situations.

However, I've learned a lot from your comment, and that's what I expect in DA. Thank you so much.

MrAwesome45 In reply to bataulai [2017-11-22 14:04:15 +0000 UTC]

yeah but the sky is greenish, Cyan, and the water is sky blue. cyan is vibrant enough colour, and i can explain how reflection work if you don't mind me doing so?

and you're very welcome.

MrAwesome45 In reply to bataulai [2017-11-22 14:38:55 +0000 UTC]

so what you do is keep everything at it's correct proportions but downwards. anything that is visible is mirrored perfectly in the puddle like it has it's own vertical shadow... and you can eye ball this by drawing straight lines extending the boarders of the buildings then determining what part of the sky should be reflected on the pond. if there is a moon in the area where the circle is there should be a reflection of the moon where the arrow is, so what you do is, see what colour the sky is in that spot then attempt to replicate that in the pond.

same goes for the building, the bridge and the skyscrapers.
that way you will get a puddle that doesn't look as intrusive... i would add a red gradient to distinguish it from land and to emphasise the sun's hue... but let's not delve into the complicated parts.

 
or to make all this simpler use this tool on your photoshop  
  but i'm sure you're familiar with it... ignore the face.

bataulai In reply to MrAwesome45 [2017-11-22 15:39:45 +0000 UTC]

When I drew the reflected image of the bridge pier, I thought it was enough for the reflection, because the puddle only reflected what were near that area, not all further objects. But honestly I was not so sure, and it was a confusion I had that time.

This is definitely a priceless lesson about reflection effect I've never had from anywhere else before. You are so pro. Thank you very much!

It took me about 4-5hrs to find right stocks/resources and then I needed 5hrs for the execution, so totally 9-10hrs. Your stocks are great! Thanks again.
