"Silent Snow" - A commando dying in the snow.

[skoinks]

Hi guys. I haven't posted here in a [I]long[/I] time, but today I decided to reinstall GMod and to make some poses. Which also happens to be my first attempt at creating a snowy scene at Photoshop. I don't know if I did well - you'll be the judge of that.

After Photoshop:

The pics aren't loading for me.

Me niether.

My stupid hosting failed me. Pictures should be visible now.

[The Combine]

I like it. Nice editing!

[rossmum]

colours are too washed out. composition is really awkward, and makes a fairly normal (if a little rigid) pose look odd. snow just looks like indistinct white mush. ground is blindingly white but quite obviously just recoloured, it has no substance to it like you would expect snow to.

Blood. Where is it?!

[ChestyMcGee]

The camera angle is really quite atrocious. The picture isn't too bad, but the composition is just terrible. Read up on some photography and camera angle tutorials or something, [B][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds"]like this[/URL][/B].

maybe he's dying of an aneurysm

[skoinks]

Or maybe he is dying because of hypothermia.

I agree with Chesty about the camera angle, everything else is fine.

Yeah, I should do that.

But I've kept the rule of thirds.

You know, I actually had some hope in you :frown:.

I may be not getting it right, but...?

[skoinks]

Did an effort at improving the snow. What do you think?

Nothing of interest lies along any of those lines except perhaps part of the character.

In my mind the character [I]was[/I] the point of interest.
