Theme: Dali - String Pelican

[Indranil Sircar]

I wanted to try something surrealistic and came up with this composite In Dali style. Used multiple layers before blending with DAP version using realism template. Hope you like it...

Indranil, this is great! You really have a talent for the surreal. The pelicans on the left look a bit "planted", but I love the overall look and feel. Good show!!

[Indranil Sircar]

Thanks Kerry. You are correct, I did not put too much effort to blend those pelicans on the layer. Here is another version without the pelicans on the left...

[Kerry Perkins]

Much better Indranil! I like the open space there now. Very creative!

Very creative, Indranil! I also prefer the composition of the repost. The colors are perfect for the surreal look.

Indranil, This is very creative and fun! Dali would be proud! Love the color tones in the BG and the pelican looks great!!

Indranil, Very creative with good use of filters and color. I'm not quite sure on the right comp here. I liked the balance of the first(agree about lack of blending of the pelicans) with subjects on the left. I'm not sure about the repost due to it being heavily weighted on the right.... I keep going back and forth and am a bit unsure...

Indranil, I agree with Dave - it looks a little empty on the left. But it's very creative and very Dali-ish:)

[Christopher Miller]

Very surreal image, Indranil. Definitely Dali style. I agree that the repost looks a little unbalanced. Might want to try moving the pelican more to the left, or adding more canvas to the right.

Thanks for all the feedback. I do agree on the balance of the image. That was the reason I put those pelicans on the beach. I will rework the composition.
