Two new shots. Let me know what you think. All Knowing (I wanted to take a shot without any flashy effects.) Tangled
That helmet is so overused in phototaking... But I like tangled more, simply becase all knowing is uh... Really DUMB, imo.
I like tangled better than the first one. The first one doesn't seem to do anything for me. Its a bit monotone and a bit boring. The second however is a lot better. This effect is used a lot, and I have been seeing these very often lately, but I like your more than some of them. I like how the SMG, I believe that is what it is, blends in with the effect that is being used. The black smoky effect in the center looks really cool reaching outwards into the white light. It makes it really appealing to look at. My only recommendation/ suggestion would to be start to add different combinations of effects and colors and see where they get you. Branch out, try to get cool colors that other people havn't thought of before and don't know how to get those specific colors. Nice job man, they are very nice.
I, unlike others, really love the first one! Even though I know how you did the effect (at least I think I know) at first glance it looks like the spartan is shrouded in an orange smoke and I can feel the pain he has experienced in battle. I also really love the second one too, but there isn't much that I can say that hasn't been said already. One thing I don't really like about the second one is that there is somewhat of a bright spot on the visor that is very finely dirstracting but again overall I really love the pic. Great job once again!!
