For those that cant get the video version due to megaupload (I believe some people have issues with that site) I have hosted the images here, but its really cool with the video because you can scrub back and forth easily and give a better critique.


Key notes for the giraffe photo:

I kept the overexposure in the upper left on purpose as it conveniently looks like light beaming through the trees, and creating matching tree from scratch would have been a bitch.

I recreated the ground in the lower left.

How's the treatment?

40 layers (give or take)

1.5 hours invested

Key notes for the skyline photo:


Watch the water reflections under the red building

Pay close attention to the overall scene lighting, I need some direction there

I cant believe I managed to get more detail in the building windows. Go me.

I know the sky is too saturated at the top, but it was such a pretty blue, I couldn't resist despite its lack of realism.

25 Layers, 25 minutes invested. (Like omg, 1LPM!)

the giraffe photo, god you did a great job.

And the sky looks so Unrealistic

love it

The sky at the bottom horizon looks just awesome, but you overdid it a LOT at the top.

As for the giraffe... errr...

Right.

Giraffe?

I needed a royalty free photo and my buddy took some crappy ones at the zoo and gave me permission to claim it lol.

Such a pretty sky... the deep blue at the top made it fictional though

omg nice work there..
