Hey, Scarlette!
I really think that this is great, but in my opinion it looks too wide. the girl looks a bit out of place but other than that I can't pick out any flaws.
I think the backround is really artistic an so does the grass. For a first attempt this isn't bad at all.

Well Done!

I agree, I think this is very good. The girl does look out of place, but I kind of like that. Keep um...photo-merging?

Hi ScarletteRose,

I really like this! The colours look great! I really like how you've represented the words, and the writing gives it a nice touch. Here are some suggestions:

I think if you chopped off some of that left side, the composition would be nicer. It's always good to have a person who is facing the right, more to the left in an image, and visa versa.

Also your figure looks a little bit squashed, so if you could just stretch her height a bit that'd improve it.

Other than this though good job!

Hey Scarlette! Thanks for submitting this. I've committed it to my memory, and I'll be judging all of the contest entries soon! I only have one question, though...Is this a picture of Lacey that you cut from another picture and pasted on this background? It's not good or bad, but I just want to know. Curiosity. ;)

Anyways, thanks!

Hi,

Okay, so I really liked this. I have only one comment: I don't like the girl's outfit. Something about the style and color...maybe try a different outfit. Something less frivolous and more powerful...just a suggestion. Otherwise, you did a really nice job on this!

Hey, Scarlett. =D

Ooh, I have to admit I really like this. It looks pretty neat, haha. Except I have to agree with some of the others, that the girl does look kind of out of place, but not too bad. The only thing that bugs me is the font style and color, it doesn't really match the feel of the image, if that makes sense. It looks like it belongs more with a violent and bloody picture. >.>

But otherwise, I really like it. Photomerging is really fun to do, and it tends to come out quite cool or interesting. Good luck and keep up the good work, and let me know if you need any other critiques on anything. (Though this isn't much of one, haha).

I think this was a great piece- I would think about taking out the text, as I think text in photos kind of detracts from its beauty/originality, but otherwise, this was wonderfully done.
I myself have JUST begun to learn Photoshop, and photo merging is still beyond me. I'm excited to learn about it though. :)

Great job!
