cool looks good, just seems the central (ahhhhh) effects are the glowing pots, might look better if potter was left in entrance, and the central glowing pots were far right, putting them more in his eye direction.

might work might not, just a first thought.

agree with u. effects in pots - a weak spot. i focused on general, for me it was more important as a beginner
many thanks for u:)

#4

all good, i didnt ahh as in bad, but ahh is in the central focus the ‘wow effects’, so to speak.

generally looks great, but I guess is was thinking more technical, layout, line of sight, rule of thirds, vanishing lines.

#5

oh, i understand:) but anyway, the effects of the pots - the weak point (I made them with my left hand and right-hand picking my nose probably at this time))))
once again thanks for ur comment, all will benefit, I need it now:)

I actually quite like the pot effects. I guess if you’re looking for more “wow” effect from them, you would make them glow more or make them taller or something like that, but they seem effective as is. I would almost like to see Harry…er, Parry interacting with the glowy gas somehow…but that’s just me.

IMO, this seems like an introduction shot, where Parry is finding these objects for the first time. If this is the case, you might try making the glow pots more “impressive,” not from a technical standpoint but from a composition standpoint. So they stand out more than the characters do.

#7

completely agree. the only thing I just do not like to see the light from the pots covered Harry.
excellent comment, thanks!

:slight_smile:

Good point. I’m sure it’d be possible to make the pots stand out more while still keeping HP in frame. His family (?) in the background might be more difficult to keep in sight though…

…I’m not a big Harry Potter fan so really Harry’s the only one I recognize in the shot.

Looks far better now :wink:

Nice piece of work. interesting composition and lighting. A few minor crits;not enough trees in the background, needs to be more dense, feels like it wants to be much darker in the distance to give more strength and mystery to the lighting in the foreground. If its a matte painting then take out the blue wisps and smoke. Get some photography in there, blend in real textures etc … I understand this is probably done and buried now, but would be nice to see you bring this a little further to a photorealistic level.

Best
Dave.

You’re right. indeed, I think that the foreground would be better allocated if the background was darker:) As for future work, yet I am inclined to believe that it is necessary to make new, rather than to improve already made earlier. But this does not mean that I do not care comments, on the contrary, they will help to ensure that the following works have been better:) Thanks for the comments and I apologize for my English (I teach):slight_smile:
