Letter home from WWII (Comments?)

Hey guys. I made this just yesterday. This is all 100% pure photoshop no outside filters or anything like that. Any CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM would be great! Thanks a lot guys. =) I FIXED THE PAPER, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

WOW, I like it. I am someone who does alot of realistic images and I wish that I could've come up with this. When you say you didn't use any outside filters...does that mean you didn't use filters at all? The reason I'm asking is because it looks like you used the noise filter on the board and paper and a texture filter on the Purple Heart Strap. Oh and one more question, how did you put those scratches & knics in the clipboard handle.

No outside filters, meaning that he used only the filters that came with Photoshop.

The image itself looks good but that fold in the paper is extremely unnatural, I doubt that a sheet of paper can stay in that position and be absolutely straight. Add some curves to it.

Oh, my last question is how did you make the paper fold like that? I've never seen that kind of effect before. I've seen the effect of a folding corner but never a crease like that!

is that paper made from metal? is it molded like that? I agree with mo0chan...the paper needs more realism. and if you want to keep it like that. add a shadow for it atleast

heh thanks for the tips guys. Paper is a tough thing to do but ill see what i can make happen. and yes no outside filters means i just didnt use anything outside of Photoshop itself. Thanks again guys.


p.s. Metal paper huh? hmmm well, maybe it is!:D

yes...rather if u kept the paper against the board...like some one stretched it..and then some noise or stuf...so it seems a bit raised....but ne ways its cool....

What they said and .. work on the perspective. It has really odd angles.
