beautiful piece of work, gl

Looks great! I like the dark grey feeling of the image.

Dark yet somehow joyful.... but I'm really weird.... Brilliant depiction!

Great image, expertly made.. good luck!

This is really cool! I love the lighting effects.

Nice work - but the links take me to the DA stock holders page, not the actual stock image.

well, it only takes 1 minute to find them... its in the classic nudes folder... simple enough.

edit: thats a silly and shallow reason to "shave" points... that has nothing to do with how well my project looks for this contest, but whatever.

There is no classic nudes folder on that page. You really have to go looking for it and that's silly. It's a great image, but I'm shaving points because you took too much of my time.

very nice one. A little too much blanck space but interesting

very nice work, fits the theme perfectly

high res is awesome!!

Beautiful image, well done...but doesn't need the lens flare..imo.

I'm glad you covered her up---the HR is awesome and I absolutely love how you brought the "soul" out! Probably one of my favorites in this contest

Excellent entry...! Fantastic take on the theme...! Definitely a winner!

Good one.

Lovely depiction

Simply stunning.

Congratulations for 1st

Congrats for your first place!

congrats

Congrats, well done

Congrats!

Congrats!

thanks for ALL :lol: your comments... much appriciated!

great imagination and many congrats!

Cool image with the dramatic contrast between the flower (with its bold white petals) and the out-of-focus background. The dripping nectar is even more blah in hi-res, however, and I'm not getting any obvious "bass" element.

your not getting any obvious "bass" element??? dude, in case you didn't notice- thats a speaker... the speaker that creates the bass that comes from the music... and there is gold nectar coming from it... how more more 'bassnectar' can you get?

looks "nectariffic" to me nice shadow work on that nectar BTW.

me likey

very nice work..gl

awesome

that is brilliant work poor apple, i actually feel for the bugger lol

@oliviasarts i was originally going to use a childs face crying or in shock with the top half cut off and falling with a puddle of applejuice on the tabel. lol. didnt work out.

Amazing work, nice idea and result!

Very nice!!

very nice work, congratulacions

Great job & SBS!

Its so original.......so awesome.....unmatched entry.....high votes frm me....

Doesn't look to happy to me. Nice job!

Oh well done!!! amazingilngly real ..!!!!

awesome

Woahh Super!!!

very cool sources used and very good presentation too the only thing i wonder... the reflection in the knife... but you could see that as "how it was before the face" anyhow.. great work

thanks Eladine. you also have to consider the angle that the knife is at as well. if it were at a 45 degree angle, you wouldnt see the apple at all

about the knife i have to say dt look that is stoked on the apple , i think u can improve that

@ mariosilva view in high resolution, and get the full view, i think you may change your mind... or view my SBS

@ Nator, i take it you didnt read my SBS...

"i made a final hue and saturation adjustment layer colorized it and set it to a reddish blue (sort of) and set the blending mode to screen. i ended up getting the exact vintage overexposed, washed out, yet high contrast effect i was hoping for the whole time."

Very good

very creative .... great job author , GL

Very creative and great job

congrats!

Congrats! Well Done!

Congratulations for 2nd

Congrats!!

thanks guys for all the awesome comments.

good work. may be some copyright issues. Check it.

no, there isnt any copywrite issues... i use high quality stock. just cause it looks good doesnt make it illegal. if your referring to www.123rf.com i have an account with them and i paid for the canyon and the models stock... as for the stuff i need to notify if i use, i have done that already.

good. I just have a doubt, now convinced. GL author

nice work author i love the photo of the couple nice find there

Havent heard the song but I like the image. Well done....

nice job!

wow

I love this!

This picture tells a thousand stories. Well done! I'd add a few more falling nails/bolts, though.

nice but the blood needs work

i just can't help staring at it! wow...how weird that is..

Confusing.... but nice! Great work.

Woah,,, great image.. excellent idea... HIGH MARKS!!

Looks a lot like http://www.worth1000.com/emailthis.asp?image=308115

very nice

sbs would be nice. it helps in analyzing for voting.. still high marks for over all concept.. excellent... the blood flow is a little confusing (not following gravity) , but the surrealistic makes that not a big whoop.. good luck

this one is nice, love the blend of the hair.

Creative
