    Default Theme - Mary Poppins in Venice

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    I am preparing an image for a "Whimsy" exhibit at our local Fine Arts Gallery. I had to select and move "Mary Poppins" which is a technique I've never tried before. And then I used the Warp tool to tilt the head of the earthbound woman. I'm not sure how successful I was I also used Nik Analog Efex to finish it.
    Thanks for looking. Comments welcome and appreciated.

    Clever. I like the red umbrella and the tilt of "Mary." Good job with the tilt of the head of the other woman.
    I wonder about eliminating the white circle at top right, darkening the right side of the image, especially the shop window and its reflection, adding a bit of saturation to the woman-on-the-ground's hat and umbrella. It would be nice if the women stood out a bit more.
    I think you have a great idea here.

    Thanks, Anita. Actually, I posted the wrong image. I have a cropped version that eliminates that light in the upper right. I'm going back to the original capture and redo the whole image - I had originally done Analog Efex on it which changed the image quality of the women. I liked it as a stand alone image but for Mary Poppins version I'm going to start over without Analog and see how much better you can see the women. Thanks for your comments.

    I went back to the original (iPhone image) and I used a different image with her feet in a little bit of a different position. So I started over with the move and I did not use Analog Pro for this version. I also cropped it to a square image that I will use for an encaustic piece (I usually do those on 8x8 cradled boards). This version without Analog is much brighter. I like it better.

    Cheryl,

    Greetings. It's interesting to see the two versions. I think you did a great job in adjusting the idea in the new image (it did away with the features that I wasn't wild about). I like the idea (it is whimsical) and good job on the implementation. Thanks for posting.

    Cheers,

    -Michael-

    Delightful. Like the repost. Also visually good that the side reflections on the street/sidewalk? point the eye to the characters. Whimsical is a good description.

    also, interesting that this is an iPhone image. I'm experiments with variations of those myself.
