This is my first real attempt at turning a photo into a peice of art. What do you think both art and photo wise?
Thanks

| overall it looks pretty cool, but the sky between her arms is VERY distracting because it is so much lighter in comparison to the rest of the sky. |

agreed.
Also, be careful with that lens. It looks to me like the lens makes her butt look particularly round, especially on the left side. Based on the rest of her proportions, I'd say it's the lens.
The angle of her arms doesn't help that particular aspect much.
Additionally, there's a couple of other things I don't much care for:
The horizon is crooked (referenced only on the right half of the pic) and the horizon also splits the middle of the pic. With the strong sense of depth, this is very noticeable.
Regarding the editing, I haven't seen the original, but it looks like you might try masking off a few of the lighter portions of the clouds to really pop the depth and it looks like the burning of the bottom of the clouds is done a bit disproportionately. That may not be the case, but that's what it looks like. The good news is that it's done in such a way as to lend to a diagonal line, but I think a bit more balance on the bottoms of some of the other clouds would lend a bit of subtlety.
Also, there's a very strong difference in the brightness of the girl's arms to other areas that are sunlit such as the rockface in the distance and her feet. I'd tone it back just a hair on her right arm and bring it up just a hair on the rock face. The rock face can remain darker in general, but could probably be just a bit closer.
Overall, I like the general color palette. |

Hey, Dane. As a quick, overall impression I'd say you did very well. Definitely "arty" in a good way. Of course it helps the wow factor to see such a large image.

Thanks guys!
Blue Moon, thatnks for that, yes it does stand out!
Eschelar, not sure on the lens , although the photo is taken with a P&S Canon G10. Maybe my gf just has a nice round butt, im sure she thinks so :P
Horizon will be fixed on next version, thanks.
Thanks heaps

It's nice to see another Auckland based photographer on here - nice shot BTW. I like it but her skin seems a bit too plastic-like. |
