Holy cow! Had I not seen the original photograph I would have thought this to be a vector art pin-up. This definately exudes the mood and still of the old pin-up art. Since the 40's pin-up style was the mood and feel you were going for in the final edit I would say you have nailed it. The pose & dress (with bold contrasting striped dress) of the model was excellent and works well against the backdrop of the circle - and the ivory color to the background just gives a feel of aged, but well loved 'poster'/magazine/calendar paper.
Oh... this is absolutely wonderful. I am a real fan of the "Pin Up". You started with a great shot and really spiced it up for me. This will be one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.
I don't care for the cream color but you did a fantastic job editing this. Is there anyway you could make it look like she is laying on a flag or something? I mean it find of already does but you need some wrinkles and shadows in there. Great work
BRILLIANT IMAGE !!
the pose is excellent and love her smiling face ..
i'm not that fussed with the red on her face altho it does balance with the red and blue circle behind her .. :)
now i'll have to check out the link . :)
I really like everything about this image except the harsh line that appeared on her forehead. Is there any way to undo that line without messing up the action? I watched that video :) Thanks for the linky :) SWEEEET!
