Flower

Eh, I was messin' around with a stock photo of a flower, and I liked the results. I hope someone here likes it as much as I do...

I'll post the stock in a bit... but I gotta find it... lol... Please rate though. I'm such a noob to this kinda stuff... I want tips more than anything please...

thats the official competition one...

if i were you i wouldnt use it but i dont think that we should be helping you since its for an official competition

plus you obviously know where you got the stock but you still say "I'll post the stock in a bit... but I gotta find it... lol..."

*edit*

shouldnt comment on cometition entries

yeah, I got it from that post, and I tried to find it... I didn't do it for the comp though, I was just screwing around...


so go ahead and critique...

Im not to sure on the gritty substance on the flower. Maybe if you give it a colour burn blending mode it will look better. Keep working, its good for your level of experience.

i dont think thte background works with the grungey type feel to the flower, but all of the separate bits look nice. well done on the most :)

Eh i dont like the stuff on te flower itself x.x

pretty good, keep on tryin tho. your gettin better dude, i can tell! gj

Ooh i like the dirt on the flower, it reminds me of iron filings on a magnet in scxience o.o ( wwee done magnests n' stuff a couple of lessons ago ) . Nice job, i think the background could be better though, maybe grunge.


Cool colours , and i like the lights on the flower. Well done.

Thanks for the comments guys. Seriously. I'm trying really hard to steer away from using tuts and stuff. Cuz I never experiment with them. that's a huge downfall of mine. But I appreciate how you guys were willing to take time to post criticism. This is like the most replies I've ever gotta from a piece that I've done from any of the message boards that I go to... (or used to for that matter)

Thanks again...
