This was amazing and also so much fun 🙂
Yet another tremendous and detailed tutorial Aaron and a beautiful piece of art! I love the attention to detail in your compositing tutorials and how fairly random images come together to make something unique and special. The only thing that I wonder about is the reflection. It’s really well done but to my eyes it’s not totally believable because it appears too bright relative to the subject. What do you think? Thanks again!
I really enjoyed this tutorial, and I got a tremendous amount out of it. I don’t do much in the way of compositing yet, but in this tutorial I was introduced to numerous Photoshop techniques that I can use in all my photo work.
As always you have given us some wonderful techniques Aaron. Having gone over the individual tools many times, I find these composite exercises a very satisfying way of putting it all together.
