Re: Mar-Apr 2011 Contest Discussion Thanks Veronica. I'm probably going to change it though. Just wanted to get something entered this time. Joe |

Re: Mar-Apr 2011 Contest Discussion aartist, I don't think you will be sorry if you register, we have used this site many time for these contest. |
Re: Mar-Apr 2011 Contest Discussion i've recently uploaded mine.... just wanted to know if i was OK to just use the head of the kitten, and put it on another cats body, as i didn't like the pose the cat was in.... |
Re: Mar-Apr 2011 Contest Discussion CaptainObvious, Hi and welcome. Questions about the specific contest rules are not answered. It's up to the entrants to decide individually how to execute the given material. In this instance, all I can do is give you my opinion. Since this is a retouch/painting contest, I feel that more artistic liberty can be taken. Since each of the entrants will judge the contest, changing the cat's body could pose a problem for some, but others might think it is fine. Not much help, but that's all I can advise. Nice work, by the way. Lorraine |
Re: Mar-Apr 2011 Contest Discussion 1 Attachment(s) what a fun exercise! My first impulse was to get rid of the bare light bulb but then I decided to use it for atmosphere. It was hard to decided what to do with the yummy looking vegetables in the background but since they were so far away I decided their details had to go. mlmaxey - I like the 'night' color theme renata - that's so cute! Of course the kitty would shred the table decoration palms - the shadow under your coffee cup is perfect CaptainObvious - well this was all about creativity and making a 'frankenkitten' certainly was original Lorraine - gorgeous shadow work and clever kitten placement Veralisa - love your color adjustments Loona - very nice work of integrating the cat Joeven - your kitten looks so forlorn. I really like your coffee steam effect Pherbis - you did a terrific job of simplification. Yours came out very cheerful. CathyH - Very nice. Really clever what you did with the coffee cup. Andy625 - great shadow work. The kitten is the perfect size for it's placement. dkcoats - great virtual painting work. I like the thick textured painting look. LonK - Really good balance between enhancing the details and making painterly texture. TonyW - Nice depth. |
Re: Mar-Apr 2011 Contest Discussion I really enjoyed this - a complete change to retouching and colour correcting images. I also enjoyed looking at the very different interpretations by all. mlmaxey - Loved the 'vibrant' colours and the overall feeling of early morning renata - Nice feeling looks like an early start to what promises to be a pleasant day. Kitten destroying flowers a nice touch. palms - What a bright and pleasant look - makes you want to sit down and take a cup. CaptainObvious - Nicely done. The idea about line drawing fade in to colour inspired. Lorraine - Loved the kitten hiding thinking you may not see him/her Veralisa - Really liked the big and well fed kitten and your choice of colour change Loona - Excellent spot for a kitten to hide Joeven - Loved the 'punchy illustration' look of this Pherbis - Lovely bright morning feel to yours CathyH - Cute kitten poking its head out for a better view Andy625 - I can smell the coffee here dkcoats - Very nice painterly effect LonK - Enjoyed the added extras, saucer milk for kitten, paper on the table and the lens flare effect Nasturtium - A very pleasing effect - like sitting in the car in light rain and seeing an inviting place for a break and a coffee |
