Critique by ~Penvmbra Aug 14, 2009, 4:54:44 PM

I'm not a photomanipulation expert nor am I particularly keen on photomanipulation, but I cannot not stop to leave a comment when I see a good work.

Your gallery is fantastic overall and, believe me, I'm in DA for several years now, from the time when to see a 'gothic style' photomanipulation with quality was still rare, to more recently when you find gothic manipulations everywhere, to the point to get sick of it.

So, standing out from the rest in such an 'saturated' style is really an accomplishment!

In this particular work I like the way you transformed a previously light scenario in such a dark one, but still keeping the main features of it (i.e., not just a simple increase in the brightness and contrast values).
Also, the moonlight is perfectly inserted and in harmony with the whole scenario, the lights and shadows are very realistic, although the model wouldn't be so illuminated if the moon was on her back, but I don't think that is that important (the illumination may come from another light source).

Finally, the detail of the cat (specially being a siamese and not a black cat, as usually seen in this sort of works) is the cherry on the top of the cake, not only because I love cats, but because they're undoubtly related with such dark and misterious atmospheres.

A good work indeed!
