This piece is truly a wonderful example of what you can do with stock images! Everything about this picture is flawless. It all flows into one another, really creating the effect that this is a picture, not just a simple cut and paste of different elements.

The piece is unique and very lovely. The stock images were well chosen and the colours dance beautifully together. This artwork has such a soft, relaxing feel to it you almost wish you could jump into it and take a swim at the bottom of the waterfall, or rest on the side banks.

This piece has a great impact due to its fantastic nature and to its flawlessness. Truly a great art piece and it is very representative of the person's talent and gallery!

This photo-manipulation was done very well e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" /> Aside from a few things, it goes together flawelessly.

One thing that keeps it from looking completely realistic is the lighting. It seems like everything is lighted with very slight differences. For example, the skin of the figure is illuminated. That makes it seem like the sun is very bright and shining kind of directly at her. But you don't see as much lighing on the rocks or foliage around her, nor with the water. Even if you were trying to make look as if only she was being illuminated, the things surrounding her would still be lighter. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" />

Also, this isn't the most original idea, but you still did a nice take on it. The girls pose makes it more unique.

Aside from that, all the colors blend together seemlessly; it looks like an area you could actually stumble upon. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" /> Nice job!

She fits right in with her background, and of course she is lovely. Impressive manipulation. I really like the leaves overlapping her feet.

The colours are wonderfully adjusted, I admit. On the other hand, the model doesn't fit the background. Why? Because it looks far more "perfect", just like a model from a magazine. Somehow it doesn't fit to the landscape background. That's all what, in my opinion, is not so good, but the rest is well done.

yeah i see what you mean about the model, the only reason I chose to use this model was because of her outfit, and the plants on her, i thought that went well with her surroundings

tyttataudnor In reply to Holly6669666 [2009-07-17 17:30:06 +0000 UTC]

Yes, that's right. Her outfit really goes fantastic with the background, but I'm a bit unsure about her face.

Lynx-X [2009-06-30 00:05:53 +0000 UTC]

It is beautiful! I wish I'd have the patience to work on a piece that it blends in so perfectly. The only thing that I consider unsuitable is the dress, the top part in particular, IMO it looks far to elaborate for this scene. If the top part was as flowing as the bottom of the dress it would fit better I guess. Nonetheless an amazing piece of art. I love the posture of her and the colours are great! I love green

Photomanips are definitely not my fortΓ©, but this is stunning, there really isn't much else to say about it, but you really can't tell that it's actually a photomanip until you look a little closer, it's all blended so well, and the colours are all perfect.
Congratulations on creating such a beautiful piece!

The blending on the girl in this one is suburb Holly...and I think she does look like she's really sitting there... I do agree with the some of the critiques that you got on fixing the lighting on the girl, but its not necessary...I like how everything is flowing together, and looks like it all is happening in the same place. The only thing I would of maybe done different was have some sort of glowing orb or fairy..something along those lines... that is near her hand that is coming towards us, but thats pretty generic now that I think about it, so I would think of something better later.. That might of added some more flare to the piece, solve your lighting problems, or just ruined it.. In closing its nicely done, and thanks for sharing more work with me..
