Results after (sort of) following a tutorial.

[Kerioak]

I came across a tutorial yesterday by Oliver Cereto and decided to have a go at it, sorted out the images last night and have been experimenting today - as usual finding and isolating images takes a lot longer than putting them together.

Not an exact reproduction of his by a long way but it sort of follows the general theme I think ?

The three main starting images can be found in Post 709 of this thread

Would appreciate C&C

Christine I like it except for 1/the branches it looks like one is curling around her behind. 2/The green thing on the right leg looks like something running down her leg 3/ The bulge in the bottom left leg. Between 2 and 3 she looks bowlegged.
Just my opinion but I am no expert

Hi David

Thanks for commenting. I *think* your comments mean I have achieved my aim of making it look as if the branches are attached to her, I used the more mossy ones on her legs as you generally get moss at the bottom of trees

Hi Christine. If you're going for that effect, the picture may appear better if you get rid of the models feet. Moss/growing implies rooted to the ground, sandals implies out for a stroll. I can see where David is coming from...

In the tutorial the girl was walking and kicked up dust, as I did not have a suitable walking model image I used mist around the ground instead, in the hope that it made her look as if she had just paused and looked back
