Avant Garde in color

[neha]

Finally took some time off to do the colored version of my B/W render. C&C are welcome

PS...its looking too different in all the monitors in my office...am not very sure about the colors/brightness level because of that...if anybody has anything such as a color-perfect display, please let me know about the colors

Looks good on my monitor. Love the roughness, maybe if we could see some silt or moss gathering at the crackes, some green might add the right amount of color to the image

Hi neha, in my end it has a good amount of contrast to it. roughness is there and the shadows are nice and well diffused.

hi neha,

my first post here, so not sure bout the techincalities of making the post appear correctly... I have seen the b/w version, really loved it. In the colored version, the shades of brown that you have used look great, however as the allusionist suggested to have some silt or moss at the cracks... I was wondering if you could have very tiny little grass there and maybe one single wild flower (very tiny tiny again but significant enough, yellow or pink maybe) trying to bud out of that mostly monotonous image adding some metaphorical meaning as well... But it may take the realism of the image away if the flower gets too big, but i think at the hands of experts like you, it sure will blossom!

Russell, thanks. Yes, even I want to add some moss near the edges...still trying to find some right texture for that....otherwise will paint in PS.

Da Rock, thanks It looked kinda reddish in one of the monitors and too dark in another, thats why I wanted to have opinions

[neha]

Hey thanks Suryansh

You posted this just when I was posting earlier And you got your first post across just perfect

Yes...I want to have some greens, had the idea of adding a flower or grass growing at a place also, still hunting for that "perfect" map!

[neha]

I have put in a flower and some moss now...

[Suryansh Chandra]

great job! the moss is adding a lot of character... (cant figure it how to get the smilies in... but I need to say Excellent!)... Although I think the flower could be tad bit bigger... As in right now it is not completely distinguishing itself from the surroundings moreover because its connection to its leaves is also not distinct...

[neha]

Thanks Ya the stem was visible in the res I did the image...its not seen in this one...will put up a hires in my gallery later.
