Compositing

Took this shot of the rain forest at Dorrigo. I like the shot but feel it needs something on the path. Thought of animals, people etc but with all the Star Wars hype thought of an Ewok. Not something I've had much experience with. To me he looks like he's glued onto the scene - any suggestions as to how to make him look more part of it? Have posted the before and after.

I think he is too big, he's blocking the view down the path, I think if the top of his head was level with the end of the path it might look better.
Just my thoughts anyway.

[P Plates]

Thanks Ironwood. I did make him smaller but not quite with his head level with the path. Didn't really want him any closer as the res is poor as the ewok is just a google image.

Needs a little bit of shadow to give him some depth.

[P Plates]

Exactly what my husband said Greg.

[Isac]

I agree with both above. Jeez, that was easy!

[P Plates]

Cop out Isac - imagine tongue poke out smilie

[P Plates]

Okay, had another go. Better?

[Ironwood]

I like this version much better than the first.

[P Plates]

Thanks Ironwood

[seaslug]

Yes, but doesn't seem quite grounded. Hope I don't see one of those on my next bush trip!

[P Plates]

They might elevate you to kingly status Greg.

[Isac]

Very well done P Plates - you're getting to be somewhat clever at this editing stuff - bravo!

[P Plates]

Thanks Greg and Isac. Need lots of practice
