Hey there my fellow TTG members/friends, & welcome to my first ever photo manipulation. I got this idea after watching the movie "Life of Pi", and I got the motivation to try something new and different. I'd really appreciate it if you all can give me some feedback on my work to help m get better.

Looks like Zelda or something.

First, the text needs to go.
Next, there's a huge difference in color tone when it comes the water and sky. They need to be color matched. Also, that blue hue needs to be changed, and even desaturated a bit.
Lastly, that guy doesn't belong there. It's not convincing at all. He looks so out of place and I'm not sure if he's suppose to be the focal point. As a matter of fact, there is no focal point. I'm not sure if the man, text, overly blue sea, or dramatic sky is suppose to hold me attention. They're all conflicting each other.

Like both of the above said, the text put the nail in the coffin.

What I'd do if I was you, try looking up some tutorials on shading, as the bloke has a little outline from whatever reason. The lighting, brightens to much as it gets towards the bloke on the boat, keep it darkened but still blue as for the clouds they're pretty damn dope!

Keep on trying though!

8/10 for me

I wouldn't go as far as zelda, I'd say like an old movie look don't you think?

Its a very generic and the execution isn't very good. It just looks very unpolished and tacky. The text is absolutely unnecessary and makes it look extremely cheesy and appealing. I think the boat needs work, as in blending it with the water. Try to edit the water ripples so it actually looks like its moving fluidly with the boat. Take more time cutting your renders out. You can see the white lines around the dude where you have missed. Don't go lazy on that, it ruins the whole piece.
Little things will fix this piece massively though because the perspective is just right and the sky and water stock would be fine together with a litt like tweak of the color levels (apply some curve adjustments)

i liked the text if it was advertising something, but a believe you could have used a better font. but the guy on the boat defiantly needs to go
