Lightbringer, yeah I think I'll go back to the first version and work from there. Turning the second version into something good is a bit too ambitious for me right now.
Othman, yes I am aware of the discrepancy between that, but for some reason I like it. I originally had it very dark and with blue colours, but I turned it into an orange picture and I liked it better for some reason. |

horstenpeter,
- this might be a personal taste thing, but i think you should add a higher pitch of highlights to the thing.. everything is kind of globby right now.
as a test, make the entire image black and white, and blur your eyes. if it muds together, you've got a problem.. you should separate the lights and the darks.
- the legs of the businessmen are way too short.
that's generally it though.. i could nitpick the thing to death, but i won't. i love those colors

There is something about the first image that's darker, more oppressing than in the second one. I think it fits more with your theme. Stick with it
As for possible improvements, the one i can see from here is to use more blue tones for your shadows, not grey/black like you have now.
It will add contrast and depth to your picture. |

nova, yes my values are pretty bad. Highlights are coming up. The legs will be gone soon since I'm returning to the first version (what a nice way of avoiding the problems of the second one )
Thanks for the comment !
ahw, yes I will Blues in the shadows are on my to-do list, didn't yet get around to doing it.
Thanks for the comment  |
