Two Deer in Mountains
This is a composite image. and a digital painting of two photographs. Finally got it perfect almost. The legs were hard, of the deer, as they were half covered in weeds, but here it is. For sale by the way in my store...lol. What do you think?

Hi Patty Love composite images but need need to go in another gallery set up for just that !!! Will bounce it over in a second !!!
I would try giving the deer more room for the virtual legs, tight as presented. PS work looks good Small animals in frame always look good in a corner but not sure I would have picked this one? Would like for them to be looking into the frame !!! Would also like to keep the little guy from merging with mom's ear !!
Thankyou!
So much to learn! About the ears, I will leave that, but will take down the snow a bit to add some below the legs. I don't know what you mean about putting them in a different place looking into the frame..can you explain in other words? THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!! You sure are active in this website, God Bless You!
Patty, when an animal is in an image, it's best to have them "looking in" - in other words, in this image, they would be on the right because that gives them more virtual room to "look around" whereas in this left corner they can only look straight ahead and to the small area to the left and then they are "cut off" by the frame.
It seems silly at first but once you start to look at the most successful images you'll see why they work so well...people who view the image want to think that they deer will walk across the entire scene whereas here they are almost walking out.
Does that make sense?
Yes. But if the deer were headed the other way, in other words heads on the reverse side, while standing in the same spot, would that be okay with the walking space stretching out in front of them?Originally Posted by Julie Kenward
That's correct, Patty. You want them walking INTO the scene and not OUT of it. In other words, put their backsides in the corner opposite of where their gaze is going. In this case, flip them around and now they have the whole scene in front of them to wander into instead of out of.
