Heaven SOTW Submission

[Chris]

Spent about 3 hours on this, really tried to make things come together. There are multiple stocks in this, to include the silhouette poses and the clouds. The backdrop sky and mountains were one big image, but I photomanipped it down to size and masked it to make a smooth transition.

Here are the stocks used:







Used the last one as the boy on the moon, had to add my own extremities, and modify it a little to meet my needs.


And the psd... in case anyone is curious about how I got to the end result, although I doubt anyone will be. LOL.

Here's PSD V2, after the changed text. Took the advice of critiquers.

I like everything but the text is bad, only part of text I like is the heaven part the other text is just bad

[Chris]

Any suggestions?

[Fur]

Im bad with text also so I cant really help :-P

Well put together. I think the cloud that's among the stars looks out of place though.

For the text, consider making it smaller, using all caps on "heaven," and applying the rule of thirds for horizontal placement.

[Chris]

I'll redo the heaven text, although I accidentally merged the text with the bottom image, so I have to redo the mask D: Meh, that also messes up the direction with the stocks...

I wasnt too impressed until I took a look at the psd. Really, great job, the images all come together very well, If I hadnt known I would have thought the background was a stock.

[Chris]

Masking ftw!

I updated it with new text.

Well put together. I think the cloud that's among the stars looks out of place though.

This is a good point, and the hard part about the horizon is that it's hard to tell what the perspective is. But if you could imagine standing on a rock face, looking directly at another rock wall with people standing on top of them, obviously with the rock wall being above eye level, then the clouds would be above you, and the stars, being behind the clouds because of the curvature of the earth, would also be in front of you. But I'm betting on 100% visibility for 1000+ miles for this to be an accurate depiction. :P

Nice work I like it. It does everything that was asked of it.
