Description Photoshop art. The idea started with this lovely stock photo from AttempteStock, and the poor woman looked downright devastated over something, so I went with that, and came up with a breakup scene. The title, "He Left," signifies that she is the dumpee rather than the dumper.

I have to give special thanks to my husband for a little bit of creative input - I had just the girl and the background and had no idea what else I should add to it, when he suggested, "How about a broken picture frame?" Bingo. The man has his uses.

Okay, credit:
Background: *elisafox-stock
Girl: =AttempteStock
Picture frame: I took this picture. (You want it? Note me.)
Male in picture frame: ~Likeaburningstar
Broken glass: ~nighty-stock
Texture: I had this saved on my PC, have no idea where it came from. If it's yours, let me know and I'll gladly give you credit. I honestly don't think it came from dA though.

Please, please, please, leave me feedback! I want to get better!

Chuffed? I'm not sure I understand your slang ... I'm guessing that's not an American word.

the idea behind this image is really sad you have expressed it is well with the broken photograph.
here are some suggestions of you
it is nicely arrange, but it might look better if you made the photo of the man who left her more visible to demonstrate it even more that she has been left.
you could also place her more in the center. or remove some of the space on top and on the right side.
the texture makes it seem like a crushed photograph. maybe it would look good if you made the textures on the sides of the image darker as if it was a frame. just keep experimenting and discover what fits the most
overall i like the way that you have combined the stock photos. it is very close to a real life scene.
i hope that my suggestions are helpful top you
thanks for using my couch stock photo [link]

Thank you for the feedback and for the great stock.

To respond, I chose to keep her on the bottom of the composition because it seems to symbolize even more of a "distress," if you know what I mean. Like she was so torn apart about the man leaving that she couldn't even bring herself to sit on the couch, but she just collapsed on the floor in agony.

Also thanks for the other suggestions.
