Took this image back in January, I've been messing around with it ever since.

I've gone for the "high key" look, I also added some dust and scratches but I'm not sure about them now.

Anyway, C&C welcome:

Hi Matt Is that gradient effect at the top intentional?

Supernal....etheric

[Manfred M]

It looks like you have pushed the image too hard and this has resulted in some strange artifacts in the sky. I'm not too sure this really works for me.

IMO the image might work better if you crop to eliminate the gradient effect at the top of the frame and remove the scratches

I'm in agreement with previous comments. Foreground and those figures are good but I think it needs a 'boring' sky to show the land with maximum effect.

For me Matt, they are also in the wrong place in the frame - they are nearer their 'destination'; the right hand edge of frame, than their starting point on the left.

If mine; I'd crop 20% off the bottom and left hand edges, in addition to removing the curvy lines in the sky top right, I also didn't like the dark corner top left, but the crop would mostly deal with that.

If you're going for the 'this is an old print' look, with dust spots and scratches, perhaps it needs a suitable border and/or drop shadow too?

Sorry to be so negative, Dave

The image seems to have disappeared Matt.

I can't see the image either, when I click on the icon the image doesn't show up

I have came back here three times and haven't seen any picture but a green indication at the left hand side that there is one...

Sorry Izzie, I forgot about this one... I'm working on a new version I'll post soon!
