Critiques


:iconstampingqueen:
I really like the way that you put this piece together. It is all blended well and looks very natural. I took the time to go look at all the stock images and was astounded!

I think the only thing that I would change on it is the lighting. With him holding the lantern and the magic in his hand I almost expect it to be a little darker setting. Maybe closer to dusk than bright daylight. It would be interesting to see him lit from the one side by his lantern light and then have a glow from his magic as well. This is purely a personal preference though :).

Otherwise I actually had to look at this piece's category in order to realize it was not a photo. All I kept thinking was that this was a great shot to capture... then I realized you didn't "capture" it quite the way I thought. Very well done ;) I love it.

When i first glanced at this image, I thought everything was natural, meaning stock was not used. However, the more I looked at it, I started seeing the elements of photoshop. While this is incredibly well done, there is an issue of shadow. The man is entering into a forested area of the woods, into shadow, and yet his hood looks like it is in daylight. There is a glare off his arms as well, giving the impression of light. Also, the lantern would not have that much of a glow in that amount of light.

besides that, it is VERY well done.

All or nothing at all, the true lover says, and that's true of it. My love will never die, he says. He claims eternity. and rightly. How can it die when it's life itself.

It's really neat. I've never read that book so I don't know exactly what you're going for, but Cathal looks a bit incongruous with his surroundings, the green stuff coming up from his hand is a bit odd, and his face looks strange - kind of distorted, but in more of a confusing way. Other than those little things, I really like this picture - the concept is so wonderfully creepy. :D
