Hi everyone,

Just wanted to show you one of my first wallpapers...let me know what you think.....!?!

First wallpaper

Looking good. I think the only part I don't like is the smaller version of the guy being colored. Maybe I just don't like the pink!

[Suzikane]

Thanks....I agree with you...but I thought completely blue...wouldn't work....but I can always try again... !

very good lokking wallpaper. i like the way you blended the photos together. nce work.

[Tamlin]

The blending of the two larger duotone images is very well done, but I have to agree with Jacorre that the smaller image looks out of place. I don't think it's so much to do with the colour - pink and pale blue compliment each other - but maybe if it was in front of the blue grid lines it would work better - it would be more obvious that is was separate from the blended blue background, rather than trying to be a part of it, if you see what I mean. Also, the selection around the hair in the coloured image is a little rough.

Thanks a lot tamlin...I'm going to have another look..... !

Very, very good blending of photos, But I agree with Tamlin: it would work better if the third photo, the central one, was in front of the blue line. You have to find a way to match this photo with the other two, and in my opinion you have to make it stand out.... Three is a hard number, it's usually used to make one thing standing out through the other two elements. The human eye conforms automatically to this scheme, so why don't you just try to let those two photos as background for the other?
Maybe making them softer with a little blur and lowing the opacity will get some result

[Tamlin]

Hey Suzette: Really good blending - and your improvement of the middle image is outstanding, especially the hair extraction. However, as In Tenebris says, the composition still feels a little odd. Maybe you need to resize some of the elements to make them work together better, but I guess if you're working with stock images your options are a bit limited?

Hi guys....me again...with another new version

the final result??



Suzette

[Tamlin]

Even better - but now I'm wondering what it would look like if you moved the images around - say, swap the one on the right with the one in the middle?

Very cool wallpapers.. I am still trying to learn

[Suzikane]

Hi Jacob...and the other repliers....thanks for the tips and the compliments..

Like Jacob...am still learning..and discovering...new things...all of the time..

Well what do you think of this one...have swapped the photos...and did a bit of blurring....

The only thing I don't like is the bar bit with the hand of the second photo....but I don't know how to solve this...lol...

Can't wait for your tips!

Probably the best way would be to use a layer mask on the left-hand image to mask off the bar - otherwise, very good work.

Here's another result...another try
