About the Image(s)
This is one of those images that I keep trying variations of, to the point that I'm not sure if I'm making it better or worse.
The background was an intentional camera movement shot of a forest. There was snow on a branch near me, which gave the icicle effect at the top. Snow on the ground gave the fog effect. I added a layer with the woman in the cape masked in, reducing opacity near the ground to let the fog show through. I then added a layer with the face from original 3 because I didn't want the spiky eyelashes worn by the woman in the cape. I cloned in additional hair to make it look like one person.
I think the problem is that the woman looks too realistic compared to the trees, but I am having a hard time fixing that. Suggestions?

I congratulate to you on all the versions you have been working on. My preferences are also in this high key one that I like the most. I found it more ethereal as if it were a winter scene contrasted by the warm tones of the clothes. I found that it contrasts and gives a good balance to the scene.   Posted: 05/22/2022 00:59:11
