Kostas, I love the fire and the leaf ball.
Maybe raise the horizon a little behind the leaf ball and soften the horizon edge a bit. This will make it appear to be in the water and not as one dimensional. Really cool concept here!!!:)

Very nice image, Kostas! I'd take a little off the left, moving the ball from the center to the ROT's position. I'm also not sure about the bird's shadow - it's really getting lost where it is now. Maybe move it more to the water and away from the ball? The colors in this are amazing - beautiful work!

I think this is great Kostas. Good PS skills to convey your message.

very interesting picture, what methodology did you use?

[kostas nianiopoulos]

hi Myer , there is not any special methodology about me , the fire is pretty easy to do .Use red yellow and orange and mix with the smudge tool or the liquify , some times maybe u gonna need a little blur . with the smudge tool , u may also make smoke , or hair . for remove the BG , i use , topaz remask , mask layers , and eraser , it depents what i need from time to time . to make 3ds like the leave ball , i use the PS 4 , ex. version > Just go in the top of the program if u have it and its easy to use it ... the shadows , i make them with 2nd layer and then i paint it black , maybe change the belnd mode , in maltiply , or give it a bit of blur . to make it stuck in the water , and looks more normal i use free transform ,rotare , skew ,distort, and warp . for flood , rain , drops , wind some some other stuff like this way , i use another program witch called ACDsee pro 3

I beleive is not any special methodology . Thank u for asking u are the first do this .

thanks for the replys and the feedback all .
