i love that story...
lovely picture!
Thanks for the comment.
Just a few recommendations:
1. Watch your focus when blending images. This is mostly in regards to how you've placed =Attempte in the bushes. Notice how the bush in front and behind her have a sharp, clear focus, but she seems softer? The contrast draws the eye and makes it obvious that she was placed there. It throws off the visions depth of field. As a suggestion, maybe you could adjust the bush behind her to have the same softness to give the impression of depth and help her blend in.
The same sort of goes for the wings on the angels. Not necessarily a depth issue, just that the wings are more pronounced/sharp than the actual girls. They seem to have more substance than the girls themselves. I know that's hard since the wings are white and so is a good deal of the enviroment. I'd have to say the best set are on the girl in Burgundy.
2. The colors overall seem so muted, washed out. I'm sure this is due to the snow and the effects you had to place in the forground. I just can't help but feel that there's something missing. Like there's no real tone variation. Again, hard due to the winter scene. The dresses have good color, but when you adjust the opacity, it's lost. I would recommend applying a color effect to the dresses to help enhance their color (pre-transparency) then lowering the fill and a little of the opacity. Fill will lower the transparency of the layer while leaving effects relatively untouched, while opacity affects the transparency of everything on the layer. So for example, if you were to apply a drop shadow and then lower the fill, the object that has the shadow would go translucent, but the shadow would remain stong. By doing this, you can retain some of the color but still get the transparent effect.
Just my 2 cents
