I've been working on this image on and off for a while now... has a test for my new LCD screen. I find I'm having a hard time with LCD vs. CRT differences... even with both screens calibrated I find that on the CRT everything comes out too dark.
Will take some time getting used to I guess

Tried something new for this one lots more saturated colors then what I usually go for and also played around the darker part of the range to try and figure out what I could get away with...

Work is mostly Photoshop with some matte techniques used for the BG. Hopefully my idea of mood for discovering paradise is not a total disaster...

What do you guys think? comments and crits always welcomed !
