Tiger

[denise ippolito]

I created this image several years ago for the Asian theme. I was digging through some older images and decided to re-work this one a little. I have lost my entire collection of chops (I had created about 10 over the last few years). I need to work on another one as they were so much fun to create.

Beautiful image...I love the wash of soft, pastel color...the serene pose and attitude of the big cat...and the intricate design of the stone/concrete adds another dimension to the image. There's a small string of specular highlights in the background that, although blurred, I might consider evicting. Nicely done.

I seem to remember this one, Denise. Nice work! I feel that maybe your chop would work better in the URC, for balance.

Sorry to hear about your chops! They are easy to leave behind when upgrading PS.

Thanks John and Dan.

Dan, I forgot to save all my custom brushes when upgrading-lesson learned! Thanks for the chop advice I'll move it to the URC, thanks!

Denise, what a regal animal - and he looks so peaceful. I love your chop! I think I'd eliminate the branch that looks like it's coming out of the back foot.

This is elegant. Just curious, is it a composite? And where did you find such a lovely posing tiger? Those pale blue eyes are lovely but the tiger's left eye seems vacant as the pupil is barely visible. Maybe just make that a bit more obvious.

Nancy, I should have mentioned this is a Miami Zoo shot. The tiger was resting on the concrete work shown. I just blurred the background and desaturated the image a little. good suggestion regarding the eye.

[Andrew McLachlan]

Hi Denise, love the desaturated look and the resting pose. Ditto on the eye. Lovely work!

Hi Denise.Love the colors in this image and the geometric forms in the concrete...nice work processing this! Another vote for removing the branch near his foot.
