hei zheling, thanks for tag with: review
mentors will come and review, soon!
:D

ps: è un lavoro interessante su cui riflettere, perchè è un'immagine piena di potenzialità....

è ottima! e mi trovo pienamente d'accordo!
se ne hai voglia, puoi parlarne con trixibelle

per vedere se si riesce a fare.....
io poi, se siete d'accordo , correggo il post del blog....in modo da inserire anche questa opzione....

wow! a great picture...it is very well done but the sunlight on the avatar may be a little too bright and too harsh and does not seem to match the waves behind it, some softening will take care of that...also some blending or smudging between the wave itself and the water at the bottom to smoothen the transition will greatly increase the sense of realism and make the water look less like two separate objects. Other than that this is a great picture and it is apparent that a lot of detail work has gone into it! great:)

;-)

yes I agree with Rhonda...if you look at pictures of surfers in waves they look quite dark and you look a bit stuck on. There should possibly also be some dodging and burning throughout the wave to make it appear as if its rolling with light and shade, it looks slightly flat. But the detail is amazing...you are always good Zheling xx

good image! I see what You are trying to match here, but it may need some effort from Your side to make it as perfect as the look and feel I got here.

I see Jaggies [ http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/key=jaggies ] which may be caused by increasing (or decreasing ) the number of pixels in a digital image.
my tips are: don't increase any image unless You know what exactly You are doing, just try to keep it at it's size, or may be decrease it when it is needed.

And for the blurry text for that You should learn how to get the photo from first as a high res. Also don't rasterize Your Type layer in photoshop ( which has the T letter in it ) unless it is really needed! .. You can scale Your type layer by as You want because normally type are scalable cause it is paths,but that doesn't apply on bitmaps images.

design wise I guess the bottom corner is not matching .. the frame is not matching too. Your personal brand at right bottom needs some polishing as well.

tips:
1.write Your personal brand by your hands, or work a bit on some font from dafont.com may be.

2.Also for the bottom left image .. after you make sure you have the rights to use it, try to get it high res, and place it in a better place in your composition, it is not a good idea to put in this place those guys while they are looking out of the design space, that would move the viewer eye outside.

3.The frame may match if it got a texture from the image itself, may be the inky jeans? may be water bubbles.. may be even the hair texture.

you very welcome zheling, may be i can make a tutorial about it some day :)

I love this pic, it seems taken by one of those magazines of sport that are found in newspaper kiosk!!

If I must find a defect, personally I don't love particularly the signature in low to the right (but it's just my opinion ;) )

p.s. fa figo scrivere in inglese, peccato che mi sono fatta tradurre tutto dalla Violent XD

Bellissima!

I like this shot a lot but, for me, it seems to lack action. I'm a surfer and it doesn't really make me feel like I'm there. I feel like the shot needs more tension, to be angled more, give it more action, let the wave be overwhelming - get the tip of the board in my face, let me look up at the surfer instead of just at him. Make me ride the wave.

And graphically, I agree with Don, the guys in the bottom left shouldn't be looking out of the frame and, since you can't easily change their shot, maybe move them to the bottom right and flop your image so he's riding into the frame from the left instead of the right.

Finally, your headline feels a bit lost, I'd darken it up and give it a bit more graphic weight (another font perhaps? Something a little more dynamic?).
