First Photomanip

i don't quite know the terminology for what a photo manip is so if i'm right plz let me know





desert: http://weathersavvy.com/desert2_OPT.jpg

neat idea and looks pretty cool but the colors are really washed out and makes it look low quality

 

it looks better on my background for some reason, oh well, maybe i'll get rid of the gradient maps and have the true colors so later time

 

I think I like the first ones better tbh, maybe increase the contrast levels on the 1st set. Before the whole pic rendered on my screen it looked as if the desert landscape was actually a turbulent sea I had to look harder at the pic to realize it was a desert, I like it. I enjoy the limited palette of the first ones, the oranges and the reds and greens take away from the pic in the second set imo.

 

yeah, it looks a whole lot better

thanks
