    Created LDR image -- feedback please :)

    I dabble in digital art and have been working on an idea I had a couple weeks ago. Finally finished it today. Thought it'd be a cute idea to show a couple kissing and inserting the map for each one of them.

    What do you think? How can I improve it? Or, just leave it alone?

    I love the idea, but I couldn't tell it was a couple kissing until I read what you had written about it. The dark outline makes it hard to see that, I think. It looks awesome though, I love how you incorporated both maps!

      Thanks! The dark outline is their lips reaching to kiss. It wasn't obvious? Maybe I've worked on it for so long that it looks obvious to me. Did you click on the pic to see the bigger version?

        Thats really awesome! Seeing it bigger did make it more obvious, but I'm still not sure I would have known without reading what it is. I love it though.

            Hmm... I wonder if I should show more of the faces and less of the maps -- maybe that would show it better. ???

              I think it would help if you showed higher up on their faces as well - more of the silhouette if that makes sense? I think it's an awesome idea!

                I feel the outline is a bit harsh for the subject topic personally. I'd maybe blur it out a little bit. I like it though!

                  Thanks Black_Halloween! Bluejay Belle, that makes sense! I'll add that to my list, redapple! I wanted to place where they live close to their lips but I'll dabble with it and see what else works.

                    The thing that stuck out to me most here was the left map. I'm not a big fan of the boxes that are around the US. Maybe a different map there? Love the idea though!

                      I could tell what the silhouettes were immediately! I love the idea but the maps throw me off. Perhaps if they were similar in proportions it would look more smooth.

                        I could tell it was a kiss straight away, only because I was expecting it. Agree with what the others have said. The black outline seems a bit thick and harsh, maybe try and make it thinner and try to make the silhouette larger so you can see more of the faces. And as Catface said, the thing that sticks out for me is the maps. You have two very different looking maps - ones closer up with smaller writing, ones zoomed out with the thicker writing and the square which is very distracting, and eats into the thick black outline of the faces you already have. I also think the text at the bottom could be made more prominent

                          i Agre with what everyone else has said about it being two different kind of maps! However i personally LOVE IT!! i think its absolutely brilliant and i would love it if you could so such a thing for me!.

                          You could maybe make ones for other users that wanted it? and personalise it to their taste! i would love to see more!

                          well done!

                            I like it!

                            As others have said, I think that toning down the thickness of the outlines of the silhouettes will help. I'm also not a fan of the small US map in the top left corner. Would you be able to put in something more zoomed in like a map of Texas or the surrounding area of where you live?
