Nice work. I like this image author

too improve your score, you could make the background tree different then the foreground tree (simple warp and manipulation would suffice) the roots and tree are just mirrors,variants always improve image (IMHO) great job and good luck

Nice Work there but the bubbles seem a bit too bubbly for my taste. The shine is a bit overdone, almost comic like.

Thank you people Changed the tree Drivenslush

ya ha.. lovely improvement!!!

great job, I'd love to see some dirt falling from the roots ...

High score for this entry! Amazing!

Fantastic! It could be on Ko PS Tournament of this week (surrealism)!

Beautiful work again. One of my favs.

Excellent work! As erikuri said it would have been perfect for the KO PS Tournament. Very informative SBS about the elements you created as well!

Thank you guys! This manip was made after I had already submitted one to the KO PS Tournament, and as I restricted myself to one work for contest from now on, I submitted it to Mixed Media

Congratulations again.... nice work.!

beautiful , love the colors... you did it really well

Agree with Anoop, beautiful colors, and the idea is just magical. Good job my friend.

Thank you guys, but mind that there is a tutorial behind this work (see the link), though I don't think the author of this tut was in his better day

Very nice. I like how the sky almost has a twirl about it...makes the subject look even more dream like.

great mood!! just saw the tut link ur version is very cool than that! love the house roof u added ! and the other little things!

yeah truly a great mood ,love the contrast and colors !GL

Just a lovely composition professionally executed. The best of luck author.

Author, there's lots of rusty barbed wire out there. This is too good to have it removed.

Amazing work.... With a meaning. As CMYK says, look for other usable source for the barbed wire. Your image is powerful and it would be sad to have it removed.

I know this Bob. I've got 6 or 7 of them in my stock folder. I'm used to downloading whatever stock I think will be usefull (since they have good resolution) and keeping them in a folder together with a list of their links to use them later. I'll try to use another one though this one was the better

I'm glad you were able to correct your entry, it's well worth saving as Bob and George said. Well done!

Thank you guys Even so I think the other is better though the meaning remains the same

Aside from the misspelling, I'm happy to see your image return. GL author.

cool

Very thought-provoking. (I alert viewers that the dove is crisper in the hi-res.) I'm not sure I understand why the barbed wire doesn't cast any shadows on the egg shell. But I'm willing to accept lack of ground shadow as artistic license.

Thank you DanLundberg. I tried to correct it with the dove and the egg shell as reference. The light comes from the right at an angle of about 45º I think The knives in the right side should cast shadows too .

Congrats, very well done

Congratulations! Well done

Congrats !

Congratulations.... very nice work!.

Thank you all people

Awesome!!! Powerfull scene!

It would be nice if you post an SBS, thanks! and just a question: is it possible to use brushes in a contest?? thanks

Awesome!.. looks like a movie poster..great chop!!.
High marks author..GL

Thanks a lot people. Sofie73, as far as I know yes, since you link the author of the brushes and the contest isn't digital drawing I'll see about the SBS...

@Sofie73 - If you look at the rules for Photoshop Contests: http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/photoshop/ You will find that only brushes that are based on illustrations of any kind are not permitted, photo based brushes and simple brushes are permitted. You also posted a red flag elsewhere about filters not being allowed, again if you read the Photoshop Rules there is nothing that forbids their use. You may be confusing these rules with those of the Drawing Contests which are not the same. All brushes require links be posted as the author mentioned.

you're irritatingly good!

Ahhhrrgg...pirates! Very nice work, textures create a most appropriate mood!

Sorry for the mistake!!

I love the angle, it's very dramatic! Great work, good luck author!

Dramatic. Cool texture and color palette. The angled horizon doesn't work for me, however. The sails blocking the view of the skull's mouth seem to imply added meaning but I don't see what that might be (and the title provides no clue). [Why not move the skull to the right so nearly half of it is outside the frame?] I also think the waterline at the base of the skull should be ever so slightly curved instead of the perfectly straight line seen here in order to be more realistic since the neck should be jutting out into the water.

Great work

Congratualtions..... good work here.!

Congrats, terrific work

Awesome job!...Congrats!!!

Congratulations! Well deserved!
