Some great stocks used here inkpad.....

I have the model wearing the green leaves, she was a nightmare cutting out so you done well there. Lighting is nice. Slight issue with the fact the model isn't looking at the other model. She seems to be looking over the top of her lol. But other than that, great improvements.
 
Dam... forgot about that. there was going to be a humming bird flying above the model on the floor while the other one was looking at it. Didn't think it would fit the scene so left it out .

Should have used another model for the standing pose... must take more time .. its the little things that count.

Thank you.
 
Really nice inkpad. The color works. You could still bend the head using transform or puppet warp.

I would make a selection of the head without the should and the garland and initially do the warping there. It's a bit easier to use puppet warp on some bends but it can take practice to learn how to use it if you haven't. That's why it could help to have several layers of the selection to compare your results. Despite that, it's very nice.

Hey Inky, so very sorry to sound like a broken record here, but it's way too dark.

However, if this is what your going for, then you might try to tighten up the composition and use the rule of thirds to knock out most of the dead black area!
 
I do agree with you Sam. In fact, for me this last posting seems darker. It take away a bit from the story to have all the light removed, but I can understand why you did so. At least I think I do. YOu could crop it, but I think it works well this size composition, but a lot is lost in the shadows.
 
Very nice mate, i think it needs softening but i am no expert in this area of shop, well done regardless.
 
Maybe, the women on the right looks a little stuck on mate, just my 2 cents.
 
All cents build to dollars mate... all comments welcome... thanks ... will get round to doing a bit more on it at some stage as i have a works project to complete and another manip i'm doing at the moment.

Thank you
 
Great job inky! Whether it is too soft or not is probably a question of personal taste, so long as the models blends with the closest surroundings. There is a bit of discrepancy between the FG landscaping and the models. You can selectively sharpen the landscaping, but have to make a smart object of the layer in order to get a mask. Or, you can make feathered selections..

As to the "angel" (with a dirty face) being stuck on, I am not sure. Maybe she needs more shading on the front, especially her face as she seems to dominate the scene and though I think your emphasis is on the standing woman I am not sure. Overall I think removing some of her shine would help, but not enough to equal the BG's shadows. It would throw the composition out of balance in more ways than one.

Thanks for bringing that up Paul. I might not have looked so critically. Sigh, sorry inko. I would say, don't put too much more effort into this, one more edit maybe. Time to move on and you can come back to it later if you want. Nice work!
