Knight Smudge

Thought I would practice my smudging

Love the idea here but I feel like the render doesnt blend at all with the background and its very over-sharpend

Agree with Ma12auder (except I think the render does blend okay), and I would also add that the saturation is too high. <Your_Name> should probably be yellow, orange, or red. There is bad balance from left to right.

Great Image if the Knight was Blended slightly smoother into the smudge might make it look more natural.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll remember for next time

Finally found the thread. They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
