good but some of the elements of this just are not setting well together, & the actual referenced fruit universe bit for me is standing out too much, & conflicting with the foreground characters. also the bowler hat is really bothering me lighting wise.

Thanks for the tips. I will edit the lighting in a couple hours when I get to my computer. I'll tone the colors down a bit on the 'universe,' but I don't want it to be too subdued because it is the source.

Updated lighting on hats, took some of the saturation and clarity out of the "universe" to better match the wall. I couldn't change the font... :( I accidentally flattened that part of the PSD).

A bit better.

Well, give me more suggestions? The light to me seems to be coming from the top right.

Thanks, Marco...that's really helpful. :-I All I want to do is make it better. I kinda liked this entry. :) Insinuating that I am 'blind' and can't see my mistakes isn't going to help me. Suggestions are appreciated.

I think the transition from the floor and the wall is a bit too crisp...I'll update that in a bit. It's a bit in-your-face color-wise, but I kinda like that. :)

Updated again. I made the floor transition less harsh. Also, I updated the grape's highlights to try to make them more consistent. :)

I think you could work the light on the both hats more. Right now it's as though it has a spot light. Even it out. The shadow on the sucker is too strong, maybe you don't need it. The purple museum wall seems blurry compared to everything else.

I'll edit it a bit more. :) Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I can't do much about the "wall"... All the pictures of cells I found are blurry like this, probably due to the microscope's extremely shallow depth of field.

Believe me, the blurriness of the wall bothered me too. I'm usually a stickler about everything matching. :-)

Updated hat's lighting again, lessened shadow on lolly pop, and adjusted lighting on floor.

Updated again. Forgot floor reflection of back wall... :-I

Just for kicks play around with overlaying the source at about 60 percent. Apply a couple glass filter effects with tiny lens, block etc... Then emboss it. Mask it out here and there.
|

Interesting idea. I'll try it tonight! :)

To be clear: You overlay and mask it so that only the purple wall picks up the effect. It's a way to try and hide some of the blur.

Tried it, but it didn't help the blur situation much. Maybe I am not doing what you're saying correctly.
