Nice one inkpad....

I like the way you tell a story with your manipulations. The lighting is good just maybe a tad too bright on the girls face, and also on her jacket, add more shadowing on the arm.

Good work

I agree with inkz completely. I thought it was my monitor angle, lol! It may be an outer glow on the sparkly dust. Sometimes taking a duplicate of the layer and setting it to soft light or overlay may add details. Not sure that would work here, but maybe just an adjustment.

I like the design and the atmosphere.

Great work! Love the composition. Overall, a bit too dark for me. I also agree with Inkz and Clare on the brightness of the sparkling dust.

Thanks everyone..

Looking at it again after a few things pointed out it did look rather a bright yellow right in the middle of the composition..

I re did it and added some more shading/shadows on the girl and remove some of the glare..



Hope this looks a bit better..

thank you

OH yeh.. made it a little more lighter also.

 

[ibclare]

Oh yeh!

 

[Inkz]

Much better now...

You've improved alot in these manips.

 

[IamSam]

I agree, a great improvement!

I played around some filters to attempt to give it a painted feeling, just trying out new things, what do you think.

Her's the new one

I think there is areas that need masking out ?

Looks good inkpad.

With an image like this, Id view it in a dark room. Gives me a better perspective on ambient lighting effects, glows or even hilites.

It's just me but it's either the stardust glow or the girl's face. From my view, the stardust seems to be passing behind the girl.

That or my monitor is driving me nuts.

I agree, it does dv8. But that is inkpad, not Inkz, ha ha! I like the effect on the grass. Would youa dd the original image below this edited one for comparison Inky?
