    CnC will be nice. I had to cut out the screen on the guys face and then remake and add in a background pic that really seemed like a reflection off the background and i wanted to give it a sphere type look so I gave it white lil gloss on the sides and such ohwell i'll let it speak for itself. I used the background as one of the pics i took also and the background on the screen is another pic girl is some swimsuit google model i found.

    Ahh see I like the idea but its over brightened on the left and not bright enough on the right!!!
    You and your lighting problems!! lol :D

    Leave the top left of that signature brighter than the rest and lower it a a on the rest of the left side, then spread a little of the brightness on the right side in certain spots on the right. The thing about B&W is that it's usually really flat when you make it just B&W you need add a lot of depth and cool effects to really liven it up :D . Like the trees in the background put a Gaussian Blur on about 0.5-1.0 on it that should help it out :D hope I'm helping yah local :D

    The reflections opacity needs to be much much lower...

    Like around 20.

    Would look a lot better.

    Maybe spherize the reflection a bit too.

    here it is with some touch ups. I lowered the reflection and brightened up the right side a bit and darkened the left is it better?

    I agree with the reflection needing to be a lower opacity. I don't think the guy is wearing a space suit with a see through mirror. Other than that I like it, good concept.

    its not a see through mirror its the reflection off the mirror. its kind of like ur the eyes of the girl seeing what she see's. so I should lower the glare off the mirror thing a lil more?

    Lovely and unique concept here, I must say!
    I checked out the astronaut reflections in there headmask online (Google astronaut reflections) and Local seems to have the opacity down pretty well as the reflections seem strong in the mirror.(I'd lower a little more to let some more helm show through thou)
    I must say thou that the reflection feels flat like you just pasted the picture over the helmet. The reflection should be bending and distorting with the helmet.

    v2 without flat kind of screen[​IMG]
    v3 with more of a rounded effect[​IMG]

    kk this go around I tried to make the helmet mirror thingy. have more of a sphere effect? is it better this way? downside to using sphere filter is i lose so much sharpness so i had to sharpen the lense a lil bit more to make it kind of the same quality.

    [​IMG]

    v4 i tried a lil bevel and emboss did this make any bit more of a difference? to making the lense pop more?
