First Time Working with Photos

[aldrain]

I feel like there is too much contrast, and I have no idea how it keeps happening. UGH.

Anyway, I sort of like the one without text better

critiques please :P

i think its damn good if its your 1st time with a photo, i like the texted one better tho~

You should find a more interesting font for the letters, in my opinion. The word itself fits, as does the place you've chosen to put it, but the style of the letters is far too boring and plain compared to the rest of the image.

Otherwise, the image looks great.

Why did you put more contrast in it?

[aldrain]

I was trying to not. God bless it. I may restart. This time with a different background. Jeez. I'm frustrated

[Jaesung]

or no background at all.

Harsh light/contrast is still not good.

Fixed the horrid contrast issues, finally.

Contrast is still a little high but it's better. My only gripe with this now is that the stock looks pasted on there due to how light the background is with that texture.

Gotcha. I'll see if I can darken it




Well I am officially pissed. I saved the last one as a .png and an xcf, but for whatever the reason the .xcf isn't showing up.. so I had to go through and redo all of the colors again. I had to re-insert the stock. diddly
