the only problems i can find is that the snow could possibly be a bit lighter and less obstructive? and the birds look like they are infront of the snow? i dont know if this is intentional, but they look a bit out of place.

otherwise, great composition and theme

Thank you.

The birds are just very sharp, and the snow has a lower opacity and flow. I will probably still play around with a couple of version of this. Thank you for the input!

I think I like hard obstructive grunginess. But I am often told my work can be too busy! Which is very similar to my brain. Heh.

But thanks for the critique. Muchly appreciated.

haha. good honest critique is hard to come by. you really do have to ask for it these days

If I were you I'd make the scene more sedate and decrease the contrast, except on the person on the bottom to improve emphasis.

That's true.

To be honest, I don't care if people are just saying "good job" or if they are critiqing my photo manipulations. I appreciate the critiques of course. But I don't think of it the same way as I think of say, writing. I need constructive criticism on my writing because I want to improve my skills, and people can tell you exactly how to do something in writing.

For my photomanips, it's more just a way to relax, and I learn as I go. Nobody is telling me how to create any of the visual stuff, they are telling me what looks good to them or not.

I like to hear what looks good to other people, and try and make it more appealing. I suppose that teaches me how others see things visually, and I can make something appealing to a wider audience.

But I don't consider that the same as skill building. It is, but it isn't. Anyway, this is just a rant. I enjoy seeing things from other angles, which is why input is so good!

I think my point is that most people feel that way too, which is why deviantart is not well known for good critiques.

I know there are some comment revolutions probably still floating around DA somewhere. Though I don't know if anybody is still really enforcing that stuff.
