Very good!

I assume you're going to have a go at the 'Hallowe'en' Challenge?

[Danka]

Thanx!

I've seen the challenge, i hope to have some time to work it!
:wink:

Danka,
It’s a beautiful work.
Because you can see the light source, the shadow-high light on the grass in front of the house should fade away not cut out.
You can also fix it by removing the light.

pretty good atempt but I think some haze would help the depth of the image. The black values are all the same. I think it only need little fixes....keep it up!

You are right! I never tought about it by this way! Thanx :D it's so simply!

[Danka]

Ehi man!
Please would you give me more impression about my work? :wink:
thanx in advance!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding AliK's point about the light source but the sharpness of a shadow depends on the size of the light source.

A small point source casts sharp shadows, a large source casts more diffuse shadows.

The light source is this picture is a single lightbulb, it would cast sharp shadows.

wow nice work man!
What i thnk could make it more creepy is like some bats in the sky ...
and perhaps the building (or at least some pieces) are to pruple (#9966CC)

Could you gimme some tips on the lights behind the windows ?
and on the grass?

you paint over it all in like yellow?
I've tried to do something like this but didn't manage :(

keep up the good work

Good job,
One thing that distracts me is the frame of the right window, which seems too bright.
And I agree with Muni and Alik.
But the light behind the windows and the contrast between the tree and sky are really good.
Overall it's a nice picture.

Thanx for all replyes! :D :wink:
