MC 9 First attempts

WhatSheSaw

So these are my first ideas. All critiques welcome.

#1 I Hardly Knew Ye


#2 Beachcomber


#3 Past Is Prelude

WhatSheSaw

So I guess nobody is getting Deja Vu from these.

Any comments on the photos? Processing?

:help

Sorry, I looked and got busy away from the computer.

#3 is the one that shows me Deja Vu best. The one thing that keeps pulling my eye is the line of the man's chin as it goes to the boy's hair. I am seeing a line there that looks out of place to me but I don't think that would be a deal breaker on it.

But others are better at this than me... I am not much help at looking and saying what id good or bad or how to fix it. I am trying to get the hang of it though.

WhatSheSaw

Thanks, Donna! I'll see if I can rework that a bit. I think there are some other nits that I can improve on. Mostly I wanted to see if the ideas were any good.

WhatSheSaw

Another idea. Does this work?

#4 DQ

I like the one with the old man and young boy. The intersection of their heads needs some work. The boy isn't transparent enough. It took me a while to get it....eventho I used a similar technique. they kind a looked like they were together.

I'm not getting deja vu from the others.

WhatSheSaw

Thanks, tinamarie52! I was afraid the boy would be too transparent. I'll do some more work on the intersection of their heads. I wasn't satisfied with it either, but wanted some feedback before spending more time on it. What do you think about the placement? Left/right, up/down?

#3 with the noted fixes.
My one nit is that I wish the boy was looking in the same direction as the adult as opposed to down and to the lh corner of the image.

Thanks, AndMan and dlscott56! That bothered me, too.

Busy week - just getting back to the challenges.

Second attempt. Better? Any suggestions? Does it still say Deja Vu?
