Personally, I think it's too busy. There's too much going on and it makes my brain tired trying to sort it all out. But that's just me. I like the indavidual components tho. Just together, it's confusing.

To me the girl doesn't "fit"  the background somehow.  Nice overlay work though.

Ravens,

I think you are underappreciated in general. I really love your work (and your posts), and I know I haven't told you in a long time.

I just looked at both your ports again.  I wish I had 1/10 of the creativiity of either of you.

Ok before someone flames you for not reading the FAQs (which still didn't help me get it completely straight).   The "formula" is   [img]yourimageaddresshere[/img]

Your image address though is not the page address.  it is the image address itself.  Try right clickinig on the image itself and will have something like Copy Image Address.

EDIT: Eric beat me to the punch.

I haven't been using the spaces but seems to work.  Have you had problems without them?

No needs for thanks. Just keep on sharing your work with us.

Thank you, but so do I...

I just used the spaces so that the code would show up. Yours seemed to show up, but if I didn't use space, mine didn't show up. Maybe if you don't have http: it shows the code?

I'm still working on one...

I like it.  I'll bet though it doesn't show up well in thumbnail.

The problem is your others are so fantastic.

One of my faves because it turned out completely different than i thought it would.  Painted canvas is totally different than unpainted wronkled sheets.

OK, so I'm the art critic of the moment.  I think this is one of your better ones.  The background really works for me and the light you have on it.  I need to do something different like that.

I think the main thing that distracts from the entire image or doesn't work with in it, is the model. 

The colors and the design layout are beautfiul.  I love the image with out the model.  As far as the model, it is her placement and lack of connection to the photo. 

I think it would work better if you photographed the model in a way that brought her into this mystical world you've created.  Not up front and closer but with-in the image...That way you see her but she's not overpowering and taking away from the rest of the illustration.  the look on her face doesn't work with the rest of it either.

Just a thought.

The rest of the illustration is beautiful.

There some other ones needs it too.

I'll make a negative comment secure in the knowledge that the rest of your work is so good it won't matter.  I actually think this is my least favorite of all of the ones you have up.  The silver "highlights" are nice but as a whole it just doesn't jump out.  In my port it would look great but you have too many other better ones.

First off, most people will not comment on something that is horizontal (horizontal images show up too small on MM). That's why I've been putting those type of shots on my profile page instead.

I think a great composite comes from great components. The shot of the model doesn't appear to be photographed with the intent of interacting with the background in any way. She just appears to be pasted on a semi-transparent layer over an existing finished artwork.

Some of your other shots are much stronger!

I thought I recognized your tag.  You were right Yulianna is a great model and just a nice person to work with.  You are also right about the picture.  Hadn't thought about the horizontal aspect except that it does make a small avatar.  Thanks.
