@umbral laurel - ok then this is the wrong too. How about trying to pick a contrasting color out of the image, say the yellow/orange of the guitar and apply blends to it? Go thro' the carousel treatment of comparing different blend modes to see if there is one which lifts that text. This part of your poster is important because they are the performers.

@umbral laurel maybe try (while the text is white) to add a dark blue/black drop shadow or offset to make the white stand out a bit. I think the white works, but it's hard to read.
high mesa
@umbral laurel - Another thing you could try is to apply a filter to that main image; color pick the color from the blue in the top banner, apply blends and see how that contrasts?

@simple cliff - great effort, but the main text needs to be filled - you could be really clever and fill it with the same image, apply a blend, see what happens? As it stands it the beige bground is working against the text. But hey, this is only what my eyes see, I am no expert and if you like it, go with your instincts. Hope it helps😀

Hi @simple cliff I like the colors you used for the wordPhotoshop, it has a retro feel. Maybe if you move the "Greetings from" a bit up and to the left so they are not in his face and CAMP also a bit up so it does not collide with the word Photoshop I think it would be perfect 😃

@lucid moss it's lovely! I love the vibrant colours. Maybe you can try to add some shadows for the bird or smth? The bird seems to be a little awkward or it might be the angle that it is pointing towards.

@grand patioSberg#2574 Wow! You nailed it! The mix between illustrated and photo elements is wonderfully balanced. Really love the colors too. I think the values are pretty solid, though you could always try playing with a levels/curves adjustment layer and see if you want to tweak it at all. Very solid illustration, great work!
@simple cliff Niiice, something about the colorful letters on the fairly neutral background works really well with this image. Draws a lot of focus and interest into the title. Love the pattern too. Great job, I really like it!
young karma
I am totaly stuck with the postcard, not able at all to find out how it works. Maybe I'll best let it down and try again tomorrow. Is anyone else also having difficulties with it?

What are you having issues with specifically @young karma ? Also if you need help troubleshooting anything it might be best to have this conversation in the "ask a question" section

All the process of the word Photoshop, then how to get the image in the letters... How do you get the text mask...
OK @bleak fossil , I'll try it again and indeed ask my question there.

@void ermine Nice! Reads much better now! If you wanted to push the value separation even further you could try adjusting it with a levels adjustment layer. Looking good!

@bleak fossil Thanks for the feedback, Sam! 😄 Love your D&D work, so appreciate the comment! I will have a look at the levels/curves and see if there is some slight adjustments needed to perfect it, but in general i am pretty satisfied 😃 (changed my nick to match my Behance profile by the way)

@sand current That's a great design. It looks good from a distance, too. One thing to check: is the curve of the "official" text different than the curve of the circle? It looks like there is more space between the O in official and the circle, compared to the C, for example. Other than that, love every piece of it. It's an Anna's Hummingbird, no?

@magic tangle Awesome image! Did you paint the monster or is that from something? Really like the composition and idea behind the image. I think the lighting might look more natural if the monster was more in shadow. I also think a little rim light on the police car and three characters could help a little, as if they’re catching a little light from down the street. Here’s a quick example, just a thought.
@neat shale Very cool, love the sense of scale in this image! Realy cool surreal/disoriented feeling with the skyline and ocean. It could be cool to apply that curve you have one the ocean to the city skyline too. Might give the whole thing a sort of spherical/fish eye lens feel. Nice work!
@tribal oak Nice work with the reflection! I think you did a good job, seems to fit the look of the rest of the image. Maybe a little more blur to the middle left side of the reflection that has the harder edge? Very well done!

@past canopy Really cool! Always love a good monster illustration. Really cool to see all the images you used in the composite as well. One suggestion would be while I like the vignette effect I think you could ease it up a little. Maybe allow a bit more of the dock to be visible, even if just slightly. Same with the water to the left and right. It'll still have a nice focusing effect but look a little more natural. Great work Phil!

here is my final take on the composition
bleak fossil
@short mica Looking good J Lewis! Very cool. It could be interesting to give the hoops a glowing effect, currently the hoops just being a flat color don't seem to have enough dimension to fit into the look of the photo, unless that's what you were going for. Also the bottom hoop could be made a bit "taller" to fit the perspective of the image more. The rest of the hoops indicate an eye level above the top hoop, so the further down they go the "taller" they would be, meaning the more we'd be looking down/seeing into the hoop, if that makes sense. Well done, cool colors on this 😄
@hollow spindle Really like how you handled the gradient on the circle! Makes for a cool graphical shape and compositional element. Give the image a sort of magical feel too. I wonder if it might center the focal point around the characters head a bit more if it was raised up a few notches. Looks great, really like how you handled the stars too!
hollow spindle
@bleak fossil thank you very much
nimble shardBOT
Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt
bleak fossil
@sand current Great pose for this challenge! Really adds to the floating feeling. Nice work Emmy! Perhaps brightening up the character and hoops might help them stand out as a focal point more? Here's a quick example.
@magic jacinth Ooh, great concept. Makes me think of some sci fi skiing video game, very cool! Perhaps make the pink hoop a little lighter in color so it gets more of that glow effect the yellow one has? Also, perspective wise since we’re looking down on the hoops the pink hoop would be a bit wider in the opening as they move away from us and below our eye level. Here’s an example. Very subtle detail, but I think it might help. Awesome job, I also like how the pink hoop is a bit smaller adding to that sense of perspective and movement!
@novel fog Hah, very cool. Really liking that sense of scale you get with the zoomed out image of the Enterprise. Could be cool to add a little more visual interest into the background by compositing an image of stars and galaxies. Though the blackness of space in this image definitely gives off its own mood. Nice work!
@spark wharf Good work! Liking the color scheme on day 4 and how you handled placing the shirt logo in perspective on day 5, well done!
@fallow bough Nice, that color correction definitely makes a difference! Really makes the images fit together naturally.
@young karma Really liking the style on this! Has a cool feel. Perhaps the text could all be brightened up a touch (the drop "shadow" in the case of the "Musical Vibes" text) for better readability? Great work Lani!

@spark wharf Hmm, there's a lot of heavy dark contrast on the right with the jeep, but not nearly as much on the left. Maybe if all the text had a sort of darker backdrop or additional cast shadow behind them? Really like what you did with the formatting of the text though, looks really cool!

I didn't realize everyone was including originals with the edits. Makes sense though! I made a couple touchups to the bunny. Please feel free to give feedback. As you might see, I used layers of brushed on color to give the bunny (attempt to) proper lighting/coloring. Outside of that is was some quick blending into the background on the edges. For people looking for ideas on cutting objects out. One of my favorite tools lately has been the Magnetic Lasso (masked once selected). Refining by brushing your mask masks edges into the comp. Always interesting to compare work flows.

@steel sparrow I like the way the egg warps to match the small wave. Very nice. The way the rescuer’s hand crosses at the horizon is also very good. The helicopter looks weird, though. Is it in a non-normal blending mode? Or is that just the image? It looks washed out, like it was far underexposed and rescued in Lightroom. Because all the other FG items are crisp and with full tonal range.
Sorry, the above to @young karma Fat fingers.

@cyan badge great job on the Venezuela post card. I especially like the way the dark channel in the water points at the E in Venezuela. (I don’t know what that means in beach terms, deeper water? But I like the look.)
@young karma Ah. Good. As a quick hack, you could make the rope go out of the top of the frame. No helicopter. Because fried eggs on waves are not realistic, anyway. 😊

bleak fossil
@magic tangle Wow, looks great! Really love how you moved the 3 characters up too, makes the composition read much better. Lighting looks a lot more natural too. My only final suggestion if you still want to make any would be to maybe lighten up the shadow of the creature a little on the part that goes behind the building. That building and the surrounding area seem to be heavily affected by atmospheric perspective and the general snowy haze of the scene (meaning the shadows in those areas become much lighter) but the shadow on the monster’s body which is even further back behind the building is somehow darker. It’s a small detail for sure, but maybe worth mentioning. Either way it’s look great, really well done!
@spark wharf Ooh, loving that smoky effect, nice color choices too! I like how you varied the sizes and positioning of the cups, looks good! The whole image has an almost sort of faded look to it, which is cool if that's what you're going for, otherwise a simple levels adjustment to bump up the shadows and lights could easily fix it. Nice work!

@novel escarp Love it! Really cool idea. If you look at the deep shadows of the ocean scene you can see they have fairly intense contrast. I think the girl might fit in with the scene a bit better if you used a levels adjustment to increase the shadows a bit. Really love the composite too, always great to see mock ups for designs. Currently the billboard almost reads as a digital screen to me because of how bright it is, it could be cool to fit it in more with the environment by darkening it up a little. Well done, looks great 😄
@candid root Haha, well done, the crown and scepter fit perfectly 😄 It could be cool to give it some sort of color grading for a more uniform/stylized look, and I think it might read better without the blue rectangle around the image. Great work!
candid root
Thank you. I will do that 😃

@orchid plank Nice work, awesome to see you doing multiple challenges! Love what you did with the Day 3 challenge, adds a really created illustrated contrast to the image and fits in very well! Really cool textures and colors too. I love the colors in you Day 2 challenge! Gives it an awesome feel. I wonder if increasing the brightness of the text just slightly might give it a little more punch and visual balance? Day 1 looks solid too! Nice work! I think I see a little radial blur around the face, it definitely helps pull focus to the face, but I think it might help if that radial blur extended all the way out to the edges. Currently the crispness of the bottom area of the shirt also pulls some focus. Nice work with these!

Probably hard to tell. But I increased the shadows as suggested, desaturated a bit to make it fit into the scene a little better. Had fun with this project. I normally don't do this sort of work in my day job. I usually end up doing publication designs (traditional print).

@coral stone I like the mixing of the different iconic tourist attractions. And I love the composition, where Jesus' outstretched arms encompass the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty. Two comments. First, in the lower half, Jesus' head seems to be lopped off, or masked. Or it might be remoted to the bottom? Unclear. Second, you made a mirror between top and bottom. In US playing cards, it's rotated through 180 degrees, not mirrored. That way Lady Liberty is always on the right, whichever side you hold up. (Not sure if this is a worldwide thing, never looked at foreign playing cards.) Sorry, that was wordy. I really like this.
@blissful badge I think J is for Jack, which have suits. You are right, Jokers do not have suits.
Hi @wispy compass Very nice design. Good choice of the boat and sailor for the image. I think you have some unintended pixels above the sailor's cap, a thin line at the edge. Should be easy to mask.Also, the oar/paddle is in color while the rest of the images are in monochrome. Did you consider making a monochrome adjustment layer for it to turn it into B&W? Last, and this is picky. Like I said earlier, cards have 180 degree rotational symmetry, and the oar breaks that, because it extends across the centerline. The only way to fix that would be to shrink it so it is on one side of the card only. Not sure if you want to do that.
@fierce umbra Imposing indeed. The image is great. Has that feel like someone told her, "sit still for 45 seconds while we take this really long exposure." The yellow fade on the card goes very well, too. Do you want to extend it to the very corners? The bits of white are a little distracting, to me.

@fallow bough totally, rad you tried! Again, very cool design 🤘

@hazy hornet Love the center design! But the black, green and red colors could be improved. I think you can absolutely go for a more minimalistic design
@hazy hornet Also watch out for symmetry! the top crown is touching the frame while the bottom one isn't.
@upbeat laurel Lovely! I love all the textures and the wonderful colors. I wish the gray border was either thinner or also had a texture 😃
@dawn mountain What a great playing card! I especially like the bouquet of flowers in the center! I think you can use slightly more saturated reds for the Q and the heart. I also think you can remvoe the gray stroke around the heart - maybe you can even add a distressed look using a cool texture 😃
@young karma I don't know if the two sides are supposed to look slightly different - if so, then keep it! But if you're going for symmetry, make sure both sides are the same 😃 The color theme works really well! Maybe you can just rework this area here, it looks rather gray

Awww, such a cute dog! 😄 @blissful badge Great idea with the hat and the card! Just reduce the saturation of the red a bit, it's clashing with the aqua color 😃 you could also use a different hue for the border 😃

@past canopy Hah, very nice! I agree with Tim, I think scaling down the symbols in the corners would give the whole design a bit more breathing room.
@dawn mountain Really great job, great cohesive feel to this whole design with the colors and textures. Perfectly mirrored too! Nailed it.
@high mesa Finding good shapes to mirror in a natural way is definitely a challenge in this one! Nice work! It could be cool to repeat that green tone somewhere else in the design, perhaps on the Qs in the corner. It might also help the design to remove the little square around the images. Nice work 😄
@hazy hornet Looking good Heather! I agree with Tim’s comments, but I also think maybe brightening up the images with a levels adjustment and adding a bit of a color grade to unify the images might help make the whole thing a bit more cohesive.

I do not normally like this style that I have done especially for a classic object like playing cards. If I were to take this concept it would be for a style of cards tied to marketing for one of the movies. Otherwise, ehhh. Please feel free to share what you would change, etc! PS!! I was shocked when the Joker himself stopped by and offered to model for me. He asked me to share this selfie he took (on the right). Enjoy y'all! 😂

@upbeat laurel Ooh, I like the style and design of this! The background design is really intricate and interesting, but with light enough contrast that it doesn’t compete for attention. Nice balance to the image as well!
@young karma Really like the diagonal shapes in the center part of the image, gives the whole design a bit of a dynamic feel. The symbols in the top left corner seem a bit bigger and more cramped than the ones at the bottom, might be good to scale them down to match the bottom ones a bit. Love the clean simplicity of this design, well done!
@tulip fern Very cool, the blue/pink colors on the lines almost give it a 3D glasses look. I’m not sure… but the dark border almost seems a little too heavy to me, maybe choosing a slightly lighter tone would make it compete less for contrast? Looking good!
@severe flame Nice work Sheffen! Looking good. Perhaps giving the lion a cool color grading could make him fit into the scene a bit more? I often like to use a quick color filter adjustment layer for this. 👍
@cold cedar As much as spiders creep me out, nice work! I like the edits you made, I definitely think the white text looks a bit better. The texture is a cool touch too! The way the spider’s leg on the left side touched the frame and makes a sort of tangent is a bit odd, maybe lower the spider down a couple notches? Though that’s a bit of a nitpick. Looks good!
@magic jacinth Looks solid! I like the clean white background and crisp edges, gives it a very clean look. The middle elements of the logo and trophy look a bit odd to me. Currently the logo is kind of sideways so it doesn't read at either orientation, and the trophy seems kind of randomly placed. I like the skyline idea a lot, but perhaps mirroring it downward would be a cool effect? I think finding a way to rearrange or resize the logo and trophy might help the overall composition? Looks good!

First Draft.....
bleak fossil
@floral fiber I like it! It has a really cool dramatic style to it. I think it’s great to sometimes mix it up and push yourself outside the style you would usually do. I think it looks great, the only thing is the text is a bit hard to read due to the overall dark look of the card. Boosting up the lights of the center of the card behind the text a bit might help the overall readability. Not too much so you still maintain that dark/moody look, but just a bit until it reads better. Maybe using a color dodge layer or levels adjustment with a mask and a soft round brush to get a nice fade. Great work!

@wispy compass Looking good! I like the single pop of color on the corner symbols. One suggestion is that the red symbols look like they’re kind of crowing the image in the middle. I’d try putting them a bit more in the corner and maybe even scaling them down slightly (possibly even scaling the middle image up a tiny bit as well?) to make them a little less overpowering and give that middle image more chance to shine. Well done 😄

@hazy hornet The level adjustment and color adjustment (I think I just used a color layer with a yellow tone for that, but photo filter adjustment layer with a warming preset might be easier to control) was only applied to the middle images, correct. For the level adjustment I just boosted up the lights a bit by sliding the right most tab to the left a little bit. To see the revision you could always just save the file to your computer, then in Photoshop go to file->open

Hello . I tried Day 8 playing card.
fringe thicket
so here's my entry for day 6, the postcard. I did this in a bit of a hurry because I'm so behind on schedule... Not happy with the colors, especially of the word "THE"; I tried different effects but it was just too much with all the other text and effects going on. Maybe I should just change the font?🤔
Hope I'll be able to finish the challenges of day 7-9 tomorrow...
coral stone
@fringe thicket It's looking good! About the colors, maybe you could test with some of the image itself like those yellow tones behind the windmills. You can try different tones. Or use a subtle drop shadow if the contrast is low 😃

@uncut shell Ah that's awesome, great to be able to use your own picture for this challenge. Looks professional! Really like the choice of color for the text as well. Nice work!
@torpid oar Feel free to share
@severe flame Love it! I like the little flashes of hearts and the way the GIF isn't super fluid, works well with the little designs as to not be flashing too fast. Looks really good!
@graceful heron Definitely! I was getting a lot of ideas of possible animations after today's challenge. Looks good Duane! I like all the alternating colors you chose, looks good 😄
@scarlet hill Very nice Luna! I really like the contrast of the luchador with the flowers, gives it a really cool feel. Also great job on the mirroring of the image, looks really natural!
@bold valley Nice work Ralph! Glad you could all join us, looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with in the next DCC. I really like the fireworks! I think the key it to get really bright values in the center of the shapes, with more of the outer glow containing the color. Which Is why I think the white fireworks look so natural. Kind of the lightsaber look, the inner part is so bright it's white, and the outer glow is where all the color is at. Nice work!
severe flame
@bleak fossil thank you for good opinion. I'll try to adjust it.

bleak fossil
@void ermine Ooh, very cool, love the unique style of this! I would definitely fill in both "K"s with red, I think that'll help unify the look. I think line weight is also really key here, I'd try adding a little more line weight to the contours of your main shapes, that should really balance nicely with the thinner lines of the interior details while also strengthening the graphic read of all the major shapes. Very cool!
@cyan badge Love it, great work! I really like the colors of the image and how you handled masking the letters. Perhaps adding a little light fade to the bottom of the letters could kind of set it in the scene of the sunset a bit more? Looking good!
@edgy frost That's awesome to hear, you guys have been producing some great stuff, great work 😄 Well done on this, I like the little popping dot effects on the edges. I think some of the colors could probably be even more bright/vibrant. I think this effect works best with really bold bright colors. Nice work Betty!
@scarlet hill Awesome work Luna! The postcard looks great. Love your Day 7 challenge, haha. It is the perfect pose for this image, looks great! I'd recommend making the text and bit bigger and brighter to make it read better at a glance. I think you could also overlap it a bit over the throne to avoid the tangent while also making it easier to read. I did a quick paintover to show what I mean, along with some general value adjustments using multiply and color dodge layers. The letter I mainly brightened up with a levels adjustment. Nice work!
@whole parcel Really cool work, I like what you did with the fiery aura around the figure! I think perhaps the brightness could be focused more on the figure for a stronger focal point. I made some quick adjustments using a levels adjustment layer with a mask, as well as a multiply and color dodge layer to play with the values. Nice job!
@fringe thicket Nice work Chocolita, I really like it. Great image for the background too! I agree that the text for “THE” seems a bit out of place to me. Perhaps the color just doesn’t quite fit in anywhere else in the scene and looks off. Did you try using the same color treatment as you did for “Netherlands”? That seems like it could potentially work, though playing with different fonts could be worthwhile too. Looking really solid though!
@severe flame Hah, great work on the Day 8 playing card challenge. I like how you kept everything black and white with that half tone dotted texture. Gives the whole thing a nice cohesive look. Perhaps the image would look more balanced and natural if the bottom image was mirrored to the banana is pointing to the right instead of the left?
@coral stone very nice! I think that was a good choice, it definitely puts the focus on the colors of the animation. I like the little popping effects as well, adds a lot of excitement. Nice work!
@fallow bough Very nice! I'm liking that filter effect. I think one of the great things about these challenges is introducing everyone to potentially advanced techniques in a simple way. There's definitely so much you could do with this technique and so much to learn, but it's great to jump in and get your feet wet to see what it's all about. Could be cool to make a little bright little starburst "pow" type of drawing with each "smack". Great job Ken, always nice to see what you're working on!

cold cedar
@zinc lava Nice image choices. Here are a couple of suggestions if you want to give them a try. Make sure it's a smart object then use camera raw to brighten it. Auto should do it. Then perhaps some vignetting and a bit of the iris blur to bring the focus in on her. Is there a reason for the glow around her? I don't think she needs it. Hope this is useful.
magic tangle
@zinc lava also maybe lighten and sharpen the shadow as the lighting is pretty soft

@noble seal Hey Josh! I would love your feedback on some projects I'm working on. I've been officially compositing for about two months now, so please go easy on me.

@zinc lava Perhaps the best answer I can offer for the glow is to check out some videos on You Tube about de-fringing. I use a small brush on the mask layer and zoom in close and that helps me get a better result.

@zinc lava Select and Mask Shift Edge helps too. It appears the glow is on the left side and below the guitar. If Shift Edge messes up the other areas, you could try working on sections with multiple masks.

Hi @torpid oar I would definitely advise simplifying this logo it takes up a large space and doesn't read very well. I like the colour scheme and how FIRE is an abbreviation. Maybe play about with options of a flame possibly?

worthy oxide
@magic tangle For me personally, the lights coming out of the skulls are distracting, maybe if you reduce the brightness or saturation of it. I'd rather try and illuminate the figure on the right somehow. But only just a tiny bit, cause all in all I guess the center of attention would be the trapped figure in the back. But that is just what I'd do. All in all the composition is flawless. Love the depth to it, and the overall color scheme. 😃 Well done!
@gentle elk If I simply had to choose, I'd go with the black and white.

Starting out the new PS DCC!
neat shale
Hey guys I need some help with a freelance job order! What the client wanted is a political social media post something like the Obama Hope poster (originally I thought they wanted a posterize or cut out effect but then they showed me a different poster from another artist with the oil paint effect on it), they weren't specific about the color scheme for the background I kept sending colors they didn't pick one out they just keep saying "cool factor" and "stylistically cool" so I'm assuming they're talking about blue. They mentioned before about a patterned background but later on when I showed the oil paint effect on another image with a plain black background they said they liked the contrast and to experiment with plain background but i also feel like completely plain was too much so I was doing the pattern with two colors close to each other. We agreed on a B&W image with a color background. The first image was when I showed them the oil paint effect which they made a comment how it didn't have the mood as a different poster from another artist they sent me which I said I wasn't done with the coloring and background yet. The second image is what I currently have. I also need help with the font and text since it's not the best I'm at. They want the word in white to be justified right either vertical letters or rotated horizontal to fit the white space on the right. They also wanted me to have a similar font to the other poster. Idk if I can share the reference image they were referring to since it's not my art.
Also need help with any touchup spots that I've missed if anyone can spot them

nice covers everybody! 😃 I am PUMPED to see your designs tomorrow 😃
neat shale
@sterile bane I'm mainly just wondering if it comes across as a political poster should. The example they gave me that another artist made for this campaign had dark brown shadows and cyan highlights and the shadows were dark on one side of the face while the highlights come in which is what i was trying to do. But idk if I have way too much contrast? Is the image TOO dark? I'm also worried about the edges of the cut out image, originally there was a lot of specks of white and a white outline which i tried covering up, as well as editing the hair to make it more realistic. But basically does it come across as something that says politics and leadership?
Also is the blue background looking too indigo? Should I switch to a slightly lighter blue?
void ermine
@neat shale hey. I like them both but the bottom one looks pretty moody to me for a political poster but if that’s what they want?? I like the top one better. Make the text black. Bottom doesn’t look leadership. It looks like hrm. I’m grumpy and I have a headache lol. If they need blue bkg can you make top a blue bkg. Or a gradient white to blue or something ? I don’t really get what they want so is hard to give advice.
neat shale
@void ermine I already sent the first as an example to show the oil paint style and they assumed it was a final design and they were like "Not sure this is going to work. Feel free to submit but it's not in the realm of what I previously sent." which I'm assuming if I did do that then they would just request a cancellation for not being what they want. They asked for white text too.
I'll send you their example for reference.
sterile bane
I think the smaller text of the top option is more 'professional'. It fits the space and has a little more room to breath. As for the colors/contrast, I agree with Jon that it feels pretty dark and doesn't say politics or leadership to me (but if that's what they want, give em that haha)
looking forward to seeing their example!

Hey friends, here's my super late entry for the daily challenge. It's my first attempt at shading with a Wacom. Huge thanks to @jolly quest for the awesome tips. They helped me so much. I call this Skeletor Cometh

@mint kayak lovely! Now you just have to add a background! Something dark & gloomy?

@pliant gate I like the golden color you've added! The green eyes also work beautifully with the yellow hue. I think the shadow on her face should be slightly darker - more like the shadows on her cape 😃
@young karma Great idea! Just give the rectangles some space. They're touching the edge right now
@shut latch clean and right to the point. Well done! I would keep the width of the strokes consistent. The white stroke should be slightly thicker

@silk wind I really like the breaking the frame thing there!

@silk wind this is amazing and looks like a public campaign. Well done!
young karma
first challenge completed. but not sure about the frame white color. What do you think?

@white temple Took this pic about a week in Bratislava 😉
red verge
thoughts? not sure about the fade out on the photo
white temple
@young karma I love it, but maybe try some variation of a gradient with blue on the top and orange on the bottom to balance out the colors?
trail kiln
@young karma I like the white! I think it's really graphic and interesting to look at
uncut ginkgo
@young karma I think the frame is cool! I like how you bled the design over a bit, if you do that across the series it'll add a nice full art effect to each piece in the series.
