Description

Member's Choice At #ManipulateThis for the De-Cliche and Surreal It challenge

Once the dying leaves lay upon the ground
I start to believe
Tides begin to turn as the season breaths a life in me

Wait for the light to move again
See what you'll find
Somebody hopes to begin
Somebody dies

Yeah

Can you feel, feel that we are Autummbound
Can you feel things are gonna turn around
Take the leap
Land with your feet on the ground
Oh yeah, Summer is gone
Time to be moving on

When I was naive
I thought I could stay careless and free
Now I feel the years
More and more each day bare down on me

Wait for the light to move again
See what you'll find
Somebody hopes to begin
Somebody dies

Can you feel, feel that we are Autummbound
Can you feel things are gonna turn around
Take the leap
Land with your feet on the ground
Oh yeah, Summer is gone
Time to be moving on

Now I figured out
What it's all about
Why my days are either filled with hope or drowned in doubt

When the rain comes down
That's where life is found
Maybe now my heart will start to beat again

'Cause Summer is gone
Time to be moving on

Can you feel, feel that we are Autummbound
Can you feel things are gonna turn around
Take the leap
Land with your feet on the ground
Oh yeah, Summer is gone
Time to be moving on

Time to be moving on

Those lyrics are from Rachel Digg’s song Autumnbound and were the inspiration for this manipulation.

I made this for *mizzd-stock's Autumn & Halloween Contest.

It took me about 3-5 hours to make on Photoshop 5.0

The concept is really nice. I like how you parted the image in two parts one symbolizing autumn the other for summer. The model chosen was also really fitting for the overall feeling of the image. However I would work on blending the model in the image more. Since in both sceneries there are different light conditions this should reflect on the model. You could use more yellowish and warm hues on the right side and more whiteish light on the left side.
I would also work on bringing the rose out more, right now it gets a little lost in the image. Maybe making the background a little blurred would make the concentration more on the model and the rose.
Nice work overall.
