The Piece can be found here at my new DA.
I used various stocks, some filters/default brushes aswell & lots of adjustment layers.

Comments & Criticism welcome.

Oooh, that looks so lovely. If only if were a little bigger, though.

[sarah.]

I wanted it bigger
I originally started out bigger but bigger made photoshop lag too much, so I ended up starting over smaller x.x

Very nice.

[hoju]

It's just a pure manipulation of other peoples work

You should at least have some thing that belongs to you on it

Or you should make it have a big difference from the original

Edit:

You only pasted stuff on, maybe erased stuff to make it blend in good, but your final product is not very much different from the original

nice!

[sarah.]

Urban, thanks.

Hoju, why recently do you always seem to have a problem with my work?
Does it look good? Yes.
Don't assume you know how much work I put into a piece, when you have no idea.

Ever heard of photomanips? no? didnt think so.

Looks good sarah, im downloadin stock from that deviantart thing now

[hoju]

That's why I put manipulation Calum.
And I thought you and me were buddies.

And I only have the problem with how it looks and the amount that she's done. The outcome has little difference from the original. Maybe some colour changes, she did some brushing, but it still doesn't look very different

[sarah.]

Would you like a list then of the changes I made?

Different clouds/sky (3/4 things used to get the effect in the sky), lighting, 'fog', changed the coloring from bright blue with about 15 adjustment layers, the little gold specs on the mountain and even more I can't be bothered to list because I shouldn't even need to do this.

Perhaps they're not all that noticeable to you, but funnily enough I wanted to keep the mountain as the main focus and have the other things blend in with it so it looked realistic.

You complained last time that my manip wasn't realistic enough, and now you're complaining that I haven't done enough.

[Charmender]

Tbh i dont even know how you know what the original looks like, she just posted links to the sites she got the images from not the acutal images, so there is no way you could know how much she has done.

Also if you compare the origional and her version, it looks alot differnt, well to anyone who knows what they are looking at anyway

Lol xD Thank you.
You should post more work then! You don't post any often enough.


& thanks Calum.

[Sweeney]

I am uninspired

[sarah.]

That's no good x.x
Find something that might inspire you, like looking through the DD's on deviantart.

Don't completely write of Hoju. People don't care how much work you put into it, they just won't give a crap, so you have to make it look like your own. If it looks too much like the original stock the critics will call you out on that. He's just being realistic, he's not saying it doesn't look good.

[sarah.]

I fail to see how it looks too much like the original and Calum agreed that it didn't. I listed a lot of the changes in a previous post and if you look carefully you can see them, perhaps not at first glance but if someones going to give criticism on the piece they should look for those little details that may not be noticeable at first. Obviously, I'm not going to completely change the whole mountain since I chose the stock because of it and the piece is supposed to remain as realistic as possible.

[hoju]

Let's see the original then

What's the point? Since from your posts before you're making out you've already seen it.
