This image was my response to a recent EP Challenge, before the Digital Art board existed. I spent a good amount of time on it and am proud of it so I wanted to display it here. (click for full-size view) |

It is good...I am old but get "abstract" images. I have a suggestion ... the water/land to the right wraps around his left side. However, the "horizon" line (and between his body and the water) to the left is sharp. It might help to soften the transition. BTW, your image represents me on many days.  Clive |

I like your creation, Tom and look forward to seeing more of them. I agree with Clive about the water line.....think it will give your image a more "finished" look.

It might help to soften the transition. Agreed. I so wish I hadn't discarded the file so quickly. I grabbed a copy and here is a quick stab at the correction, which I think is already better; thanks for the suggestion!

I love it, the struggle is real and you are right to be proud of your work, I would be if it was mine.

Smoothing away the sharp horizon line really did the trick. |

I think you chose a very apt title for this piece Tom.

I think you chose a very apt title for this piece Tom. Thanks Lillias, but I can’t take credit for the title. It is the title of Andy ’s starter image in Endless Possibilities Challenge 363. |
