The facial features are too washed out. If you increase the contrast a bit, they will better match the painting.

I think it looks fine, a high resolution would be nice. Pretty subject matter, nice job on the shadow work. Edit: good Hi Res.

Better, but now her face is a bit too pinkish in tone, giving her face a somewhat sunburned look (notice the pale tone on her hands and below her neck). You can try adjusting the Brightness and Contrast, or perhaps Image>Adjustments>Selective Color and then lightening the red tones (possibly the magenta) so that the values match.

looks great author

Hard to judge with no hi-res. Please realize a hi-res image is pretty much mandatory if you want to get a decent vote.

Nice positioning and good model choice...IMHO shadowing on her face should be bit better...u have to simulate brush moves so regular soft brush is not good for that...maybe u should use chalk brush for starters and try to create that effect in few layers...first start with darker color but with low opacity and then as u bust opacity lower the color tone...just an idea author...any how this image have potential to be one of the best in the contest...best of luck author

Nice Job !!

Fantastic work ! Waiting for sbs

Looks good...maybe add eyes & antennae?

man, really nice work BUT u should have put it on on a leaf or something close to this, instead of a black background.

Thanks for the comments. I've updated the image with eyes and antennae.

Great job author, GL.

shadow needs a little work

For an ant, the antennae are indeed below the eye level, not above. But the shape and length should be changed a bit as well as the direction, so they don't look so weird. But it's very nice work. The eyes too are added with a bit hastily, you could check out some actual photos and try to blend them a bit better.

Good work, author.

Great! I hadn't thought in this possibility...

i salute for your creativity author

it is very nice work ,good luck

very very nice ! good luck

creative work..., nice lighting on the ant... My Only suggestion is to place the ant over a leaf or something else...and the shadow of the ant is a looking a little strange now.... That's all .... This is going to be my favorite..., good luck to you...

Love the mood & lighting...great concept, author!

ahahahhahahahhahahahha GREAT!!!!!

Funny stuff! I was looking for the bear in window... and it's a witness of the facts! Nice work.

Fantastic work author...well done

Great eye erikuri, thanks for pointing that little bear out. This is great work author, I like this a whole bunch = )

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you liked the idea of the "bear in the window" I thought it would make the image more fun and also some emotional value between the two bears.

cool

good idea -- very well done composition lighting

Scary, at any moment that Teddy can jump out of the picture...

This clearly should have won...just another comment on the site.

Congrats!

And it's in top 3! Congrats for the 2nd. place!

Congrats ...........

Congrats...

Congrats!!

Really cool image and 'duotone' effect, and right on theme!

Well DONE!!!

Quite dramatic. The reflections seem to be more like shadows [totally different from reflections], however. And the clock face is opaque, not transparent as its 'reflection' would suggest. Not clear where the star sparkles are coming from or why they don't reflect in the water.

love this image author. Your colours are right on theme.

Although this IS FANTASY , I also get a slight surrealistic feel.

My fav part of your entry is the woman on the clock. The things that i personally would adjust is the planet "RING" . maybe angle it instead of having it straight up and down and soften the fill on the other one ... giving the sky a little depth.

Remember these are just my opinions for adjustments.. easy to say after all the hard work has been done.
ALL THE BEST WITH YOUR ENTRY.

Thanks for the comments and positive input.

nice one....

This is lovely - surreal. The waviness of the reflections is great. Still, (to echo DanLundberg) I think reflections would appear more distorted, shortened, to appear on the surface of the water, not sink beneath. Good luck!

Lovely atmosphere...

rotating the planet to 45degrees angle may be better.

angle of the clock don't look right

idea n colors are great

Fantastic! right on theme, GL!

Fascinating work on this, great treatment of the clock image!

Very nice Author. Good to see you back at it. The best of luck too you

Creepy

Nice idea. Not sure if the machines should have been helicopters for more realism but good effort.

Nice! You did a great job with the lighting, the bridge...and pretty much everything. Awesome!

Really nice work here! I especially like the extra rays traveling through the bridge. Good luck!

Looks good! Try to distort the far end of the bridge so it's smaller, and the perspective will be better. GL.

extreemly cool!

Very realistic, I like the ilumination!

PS: You really should make a SBS for this. Would definitely improve your vote.

Update: added sbs

very cool work author...gl

Now that's what I wish Springville looked like!
