Hi and welcome to PSG.
Thanks for sharing your work. Long time since I saw a 'Out Of Bounds' composite.

But...a few observations:
- in red the remains that should not be there anymore (red)
- the lack of shadow of the spacecraft (green)

Keep up the good work!

Hello and welcome to PSG. Thanks for sharing your Out of Bounds composite.

Very nice!

There are some selection issues where you missed some stuff including the area around and within the TV screen and around the border of the whole image.

The composition/framing is off since you cut off the space ship and part of the TV which diminishes the overall effect. The canvas is just too busy and full.

The windows and engines of the spaceship could use some outer glow to make them pop. And as Eggy stated, there's no shadow being produced by the ship on the tables surface.

If you need any help or have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Keep up the great effort and practice, practice, practice!

Thanks for the input, I'll keep it in mind!

Do you have any questions? How are you making your selections?

 

[Grayson Smith]

If you mean selections as in the process I used, then: I used the marquee tool and the wand tool to eliminate the sky. For the fog/mist, I used a soft brush at opacity around 20%

I'm hoping that you will take the time to go through these tutorials and apply what you learn to another attempt at your "Out of Bounds" image from above.
