Very fantastical. I love the color used in this piece, they really give flight to ones imagination while viewing. And the animals are great in and of themselves, and the way you placed them adds to the fantastical element of the piece. At least in my opinion. The only thing that I really find that distracts me from the beauty of the piece, is how disconnected the animals are from the background. They just don't seem tied to it, somehow. Other than that, very nicely done.

Thank you very much for your detailed comment, it helped me a lot. I guess I should take more care on things like that ...

Not at all, hopefully we all get better at the things we enjoy doing. But because we enjoy it, should always be the reason we continue to try. You have a wonderful imagination, I look forward to seeing what your mind comes up with in the future.

It's really nice, but if you want my opinion, I'd say get rid of one element--it's just too crowded. I would say ditch the sparkles on the bottom (I did this recently and I was much happier with the result... stupid sparkles are supposed to look good but sometimes its better without). The lightning could also go, but I like it... or the moon, but I like that too xD What I don't like is the stars in the SKY... they look really... fake O_o But over all it's very nice, I really like the colorizing on the horse.

Thank you for your comment. It helped a lot Yeah ... I should have added a real night-sky background - that's difficult to find. I am not too happy with this one but I'm still practising. The lightning is not placed very well. But I love the sparkles and I guess the message would not be there without them. I'd better reduce the lightnings or maybe reduce the sparkles a bit - but not erase them completely. Believe me, it would look too empty

I believe you. You know, you should check out =resurgere . They have some really nice sky stock packs. Really, really nice. *gets all dreammy eyed* Yeah, so.. anyway. I do love this. The bird looks really good *can't cut birds very well*

You're right ... I'll try it out in future ...
Well, the bird was not cutted by me, it was simply a brush i think ... but i love cutting. it's the best part of the whole process of creating a manip ...

Very nice, hun. I do like the dreamy feel to it that others have already mentioned.

Since there is a note above this that says "Advanced Critique Encouraged", I'll note that I think it would look nicer without the lightning bolts. To me, they take away from the peaceful feel of the piece. Of course, if you were trying to get across a "dreamworld with a hint of nightmare" sort of feeling, then you did wonderful. ^-^

Thanks a lot I guess it would just look too empty without the lightning. And I love thunderstorms *lol*
But I realize there are still some clouds missing to make it a real thunderstorm so I'd say I have to think about my concept again^^
I'll continue practising ...

NihilisticPebble [2006-12-14 17:45:11 +0000 UTC]

I like this a lot. It feel extremely surreal, the kind of scene you'd expect to find in a dream.

I think it almost feels a little too cluttered in places. Maybea few less stars around the bottom would help with this. When you put too many images too bunched together, it confuses the mind and leaves the eye without any place to really focus on.

Thanks a lot for you comment, it was quite helpful. Maybe you're right, I just felt it was good the way it is. But I'll keep your critique in mind and try to make use of it the next time. Thanks

This would look lovely with a blue filter. But it's amazing now, too! Great work!
