Fly High

Original:



My version:



opinions please

 

I like the things swirling around the model, and how you blurred out the background to keep the eye on the subject. I do, however, believe that you could have done something other than the gaussian blur effect, with what looks like vivid light. It's the typical and expected way of manipulating a photo and I was never really a fan. I wonder if you could have replaced the neighborhood with sky and made it turn out okay... that would make the "Fly High" quote even cooler .


All in all, I think your manipulation was an improvement from the original . Good work, keep it up.

 

thanks for the criticism ^_^ yea the Gaussian blur is a cheap way out..but i couldnt think of any way else to portray movement and keep focous on the subject at the same time.

and i like your replacing the city with sky idea i may go and do that...

 

hmm, looks kinda average. dont like colors, to plain overall.
gj tho, keep em cumming

 

here is the version without the neighborhood...unfortunately i am not that good with the clone stamp yet
