A Really fantastic idea, but first off, unless you are planing on trying to sell the image or the person wanted you to Hide their ID, you really didn't have to. And blocking out the eyes is normally good enough, I think the blurred face is a major distraction as is the glob on his head.

I think the net came out very nicely, I would have to think about the kayaker, that you should have changed perspective of him. You see how the net comes together more on the right side? I would have placed him at an angle there, as though he is coming out from the side and not straight at you. I think that would have given a much more dramatic feel. I also think you might change the lower paddle a touch to maybe make it feel like he is 'in' the net paddling through it, instead of just floating on top.

I like the idea and the red colour goes good, but it doesn't have a dramatic enough feel. Try changing the perspective and see how the feel of the whole image changes.

This is a very interesting image, I have mixed feelings about it. I find it very intriguing, and it lulls me in, but I think maybe the jagged background throws me into a differ direction. It takes my eyes off the 'ghost' and into the bland corner. I am also wondering what this may look like with a little more contrast. Well maybe not levels, but selective colour and richer blacks and lighter whites. It is a very fun image. That pop of green is nice, I think im just wishing for the background to be cleaner.

Looking at the thumb it has a real matrix type feel, even bigger it is still there just not has prevalent. I really enjoy the effect here on everything except the 'fortuitously shaped tree'. I think the white around the dots there really throws off the image and makes it look like a glob that was just dropped there.

Minus the tree, I really enjoy the rest of the image, the vanishing point is great, and I can really see a ton of uses for if. Nice work, I enjoy to see people pushing the boundaries a bit.

littlegett thank you, thank you, very much. I do appreciate the time you took to critique these and will be delighted to see if I can effect the changes.

The kayaker in particular. Yes, of course he should be coming off the "wave"!

This is fantastic, I really like the brush strokes of the foliage behind the flower. With the flower itself, I wish the top of the petal wasn't cut off it leaves me an incomplete feeling. Granted it is just the very tip it still distracts. It is an easy fix to extend the image up a touch and clone in a new tip.... If you need to.

I really enjoy the colour pallet here, they are nice and suttle and not trying to compete with each other. This painted effect is working out really nice.

I am wondering though, what this would look like if the flower was at a bit more of an angle? Also, I am trying to think if there perhaps was a better style of border for this. Just something about the border doesn't sit right with me... Just doesn't seem to fit with the image. Overall I would say you did a fantastic job. Very Nice.

littlegett if you have time here's one that I've been messing around with tonight, It's my first attempt at one of these circle thingys so it's a bit rough and my Gaia looks very worried...as well she should I guess.

I like this idea, The effect itself was done very well... but there are a couple things that bother me. The flat colour for one, I would really like to see some deep rich blues and greens here. I think it would really add to the feel. Don't want to go crazy with the brightness, but needs to pop a lot more.

The model also needs a bit of colour brighting to her, but what really bothers me with the image, is the visible panty and undershirt lines. Really distracts from what could be a smooth great line. Can be fixed one of a couple ways... Easiest would be to have the model remove the undergarments before the shoot... or during if you notice it while... wear smaller undergarments lastly clone/heal out the lines.

One thing I think that would be fun, may be move the whole image over a bit to the side, and add a moon into it. The moon doesn't need to be monstrous in size, just a little something to see and I think you would have created a really fantastic image. Like I said the effect itself looks really good, just some colour and brightness issues to work on.

Wow littlegett that was quick and awesome! Thank you so much for your insight. I was just playing with this really and got to where I didn't know where I was going with it but I like it, so thanks for the great ideas. I agree the VPL is an issue I'll see what I can do. Thanks again :D
