Lava vs Ocean

Hi @ll,

This is mine first post on this forum and so i wonted to show you one of mine pictures

>>here<<

i hope u like it

i call it: Sad But True 2 - Lava vs Ocean

I like it. I like the upper portion better. The lower part seems kinda "filter-y".

let me guess...

Plastic Wrap filter, maybe glass filter (one of the varieties), a bit of noise filter and some blend modes?

It's a little forumulaic at best. The eye is more cheesey than I could have hoped for.

Needless to say, I don't like it.

Welcome to the forum however, hope you stick around, even given my dislike of this piece.

Its ocean ripple, pixelate, etc...Wayyyyy too many filters...er...well too many filters used together to make that look. It's way too sharp and jagged looking, the filters really dont do it that much justice. I think though, that if you didnt make them so defining, they would work better. Thats just me though.. Btw, I do like the eye. ;)

i mostly agree with thehermit.

you need to spend more time on the 'hard parts' that filters cant do for you, for example, layer masking and editing. the line between the red and blue looks a bit sloppy.

keep at it though.

Guys easy on him lol filters are made to be used ... i do agree on the hand work and its the best after all ;p it just take time and yeah the ocean is to much filterized
