its sunrise in front, but brighter lights in back, u should have corrected lighting

Sorry!

The diver is a little brighter than what he should be....Same is the case with the source on which the guy is standing..There is a shadow on that platform from the other side.

Yes, add some shadow to him, to make him look darker, also add a gaussian gradient mask to the bakground from top to bottom, to show depth...GL

Yes, your source pic is legal. Unfortunately you haven't added a reflection of the candy cane on the table to the cup...

i got it! thanks for the Help!!!

that reflection looks good now, candycane in the mug doesnt quite look realistic though, maybe if you fade it away at the bottom a bit??

need improve the realism

Image resolution is too small. When searching for an image in flickr, don't forget to click "all sizes" first because there's usually bigger images. Next time

I think that the wing needs a little bit more work...

Agreed, but it wouldent let my do with it what i wanted, so i just left it. i was trying to blend it in photoshop and make it look all nice but the photoshop wouldn't let me blend!

Only one wing?

Maybe this would help, http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Blend-to-objects-Together---Photoshop-189410226

Adding another wing blending it better would have helped.

Plenty of tutorials on this, and something you'll have to learn if you want to continue in photoshop! Good luck...

but he isn't flying past fast..... he is sitting still :-/

he is about to fry!

Well you have tried well....apart from one of the wing missing and the frog not being fat enough... Could have made better with the wing being a little different...

Fix up that little wing..looks kinda trasparent ...

if it's your own image then make sure you post it on your Step by Step guide.

shadows need fixing

You just added an axe to the source pic...?

yes?

From the guidelines: Contests with source images: In a source contest it's mandatory to use the source image in your entry. Not only use it, but also manipulate it in some way.
