Major retouching :P

[David Wood]

Ok, just some fun I had in Gimp, I really thought the picture would look better at night. I have to find a stock of a person looking up. Anybody got any links?

Original stock (from VT).

My version.

If you have any comment, suggestions, or criticisms post 'em here and help me improve it.

Also I put it in the Photography Forum because I'm a mod and can do what I want. Plus I didn't think it belonged in Large Art Piece since this is a retouch job.

i did a similar thing but i started as a underwater theme, now i need plants and bubbles.... i will look for a stock for you. i could give you the original file (3495x2183).

also you could add in night animals like Bats

LOL, about bats, I don't want them for this piece but they would fit. Maybe next time. Thanks for the links VT, I really want one with a strong light coming down on them, I might try to work with one of these.
