Description I have seen this beautiful background used quite a lot in manipulations and they are all quite sad, so I thought I'd make a happy one - it's a great image to work with.

Wow! This is amazing!

You did an awesome job blending the stock images together - the grass looks like it belongs there undisputably! (is that a word)

I think the only thing I could suggest would be to make some of the orbs smaller as they get farther away, to better convey the sense of depth

Otherwise...

I tried so hard with the size of the orbs and the blur on each one - perspective is one of my many weaknesses I think!

Thanks for your great advice

Hmm...well, try this: Notice how the nearest orb seems just slightly higher than the railing? Use that as a base for the other orbs - try to make them smaller in relation to the closest orb - perspective is easy when you have something to go by.

You're very welcome
