I like how you did the blending of the background images, Lady Lucy! Especially how the image of the four standing (to the right) fits nicely into the circle/swirl of the texture. Everything there flows nicely together. The cropping on the three Pevensies towards the bottom of the piece is for the most part nicely done, although it's a little bit rough around Lucy's head. (which I'm sure you noticed already). I know though that some images are harder to crop, especially around people's heads, so perhaps this was the case. The text is pretty good, I like the font that you chose on the bottom set of text the best I think. All in all, pretty good job!

Nice job using all these different shots from the Ruined Cair Paravel scene to make a beautiful WP. My personal favorite is Lucy at the ruined balcony in the upper left. The different fonts and colors all work well with the shots and each other. I like how the red font pulls out the red of Susan's sweater.

Nice wp Ellie. Your choices of imagery work well for the concept of the piece and are overall blended together quite nicely. While I do like all your choices of imagery, I feel that it is just a bit too much (I don't really have a clear visual focus and my eye tends to jump around). I like the softness to the Lucy image in the top left and the swirl effect to the group image in the top right, both look great and are working very effectively. Perhaps, if there was only one image at the bottom of the wp (I'd go with the Peter and Lucy image in the same location). This way the viewer's eye has three images to circle around the piece in a nice visual flow. This would also help with the bottom text (seems kind of cramped in the overlap between the two bottom images). I do understand why you have all the images that you do, so I'm not trying to completely change your vision. The transparent image of the ruins of Cair Paravel as the BG image works great. While the text works well with your choices of imagery and the concept of the piece, some letters are right smack against the edges of the piece. This becomes a bit distracting, for me anyway. Nice work

That's quite nice. I really like the blending of the images in the back, it's very pretty and the text tells the story!!!! The Pevensies blending is a litttle choppy but I understand how hard it is to get people out of imges. Nice theme and a good job!!!

Thank you for all of the nice comments everyone! If I had to do it all over again I would of tried to cut out Lucy's hair better. A few days after I saved it I noticed how choppy it was and it has bothered me a little ever since.

Lady Lucy,
I REALLY like it!

That looks great! I like the composition and balance you used in the back. My favorite part is the swirl around the top-right picture!
Sure, it might have gotten a little choppy around Lucy's hair, but other than that little flaw, it looks superior!
P.S. I like of how you used different colors and fonts for each saying...

First of all, lovely lovely textures!
I like how you used direct quotes from the movie along with the juxtaposition of the pictures to draw you eye and mind along the scene.
The blending is not perfect, but that will come with time and you have positioned your pictures nicely, which is the most important thing.
Good job!
