Goddess of the Cosmos

I found this picture on photobucket, and I added special affects like the glow and the light rays. Hope you like it.

Cool! I like the glow and her expression the best, heh. But the light rays are awesome, and the background is awe-inspiring. Good picture choice!

I was a little confused when I got to the bottom of the picture, though. I mean, it's sorta like the bottom half of the 'goddess' (nice title, by the way; though she's not really a goddess ) fades away and leaves us with black nothingness. Is that how it's supposed to be?

Other than that, great job with the effects and, again, I really like the picture choice! The girl's hair, her clothes, the angle of the picture, and the special effects you added really create a mysterious picture. Hope to see more work from you!

This picture looks very cool after the effects you have added into it. The rays just add more shimmer and shine into this already beautiful piece, which is superb. I hope you do more of this kind work and share it with us.

Thanks. I`m glad you all like the special effects. I really think I`ve really captured the essence of this picture. And I`ll be sure to do more work like this.

ooh I like it too. Mysterious! *drools over the marvelous picture (Not for dirty reasons though. The goddess is sexy by the way.)*.

Hey there,

I like this photo, but I can't tell how much of it you edited. I think it would be a good idea to always include a link and credit to where you got the original image from so that it doesn't look like plagiarism.


I think the colors here are excellent, and the light rays add a nice touch. I'm just a bit unsure about the upper background; instead of black it seems like it should be lighter, because my mind is telling me that such a picture should look like it's daytime. But, that's just me...

Hey there!

I really like the look of this picture. But like June said, I can't tell how much you actually added to the original picture; I agree that you should always include a link and credit to where you got the original image so we can see how much you added and also so it doesn't appear like plagiarism.

The light rays in this picture are positively beautiful, and so are the colors in the picture. I agree. It seems odd that it's black, my mind keeps thinking of summertime when looking at this picture, and the black background just throws me off. Oh, and I might add, I love the color of the lady's hair. It's almost like an auburn. Wonderful!

So, luffly job here!

That's a pretty major editing job... I could never do that! Well, nice job!

You really got a beautiful picture, and turned it into something magnificent.
The lights ray are great, but wouldn't some stop on her body? The light is behind her, so wouldn't she cast a shadow? Just saying.
Love the fog behind her! Adds a really great affect, making her look more mysterious.
I also love the glow, I really love this picture. This is a great picture to draw.

Hey hey!

Well, one thing's for sure, you've definitely livened it up! The colours are far more vibrant, bold and definitely carry more impact. I love gold filtered effect that makes her feel even more powerful as a figure than she does on the original image (where she honestly looks quite bland). The Sun you've edited in, or the light I should say, in the top right also adds to that goddess atmosphere about her. It's very idealogical. I love it! You have great editing skills and the lines that stream over her like rays are very complimentry. Though, what I'd like to see is something that isn't so 'templated' if you get what I mean? This is very based on something and in all reality you haven't really done anything to the actual image. I feel that you could've experimented more with filters, contrasting edges, blending backgrounds, layering colours, pencil stretches, contrasting old with modern. You know? Something that bumps it up to more individual!

Anyway, looks good! Keep editing,
Ben

Wow. I loved how you took an already beautiful image and made it even better.
Great editing skills you have, far better then mine. I really love the rays of light... Definitely my favorite part of this picture.
Well anyway, good job, and hope to see more edits in the future from you!

Whoa, the original picture was gorgeous, but what you added makes it incredibly beautiful. I agree with smiley, the rays of light are my favorite part too. I could never do something like that, and I think you're very gifted with photoshop, or whatever you used to edit this.

The only thing I think would improve it is if the rays of light were different lengths/thicknesses/not quite so sharp [you could add some fuzzy lighting around the ends of the rays] and the circles weren't quite so perfectly round, maybe more ovalish. It gives it a look that's a little too geometrical.
