Excellent use of high contrast colors. The yellow fish have popped out against the blue background.Good Luck.

I love the strong saturated colors but I think the big fish ends up coming across a bit bland relatively. Also, a more-whimsical title might be "Yoo-hoo."

Like the contrast in your colors.... nicely done.... good luck!

Nice idea to paint the big fish and add the antennae thing to it, I like how it goes from the dark area of the image to the lighter area. Great color contrasts.

Congrats for making it to the next round

congrats, good luck in the next round...

Thank you all for your comments and support!

nice idea.. perhaps add a background? Why is the object on the left hovering? Very nice image either eway. Good luck!

And I still love it !

Ponti55, that was a mistake from my side. I uploaded a step image instead of the finished one. Now it is fixed. Feodora, thanks for your comment!

I love the fantasy mood here, what Im missing however is part of the girls body? or doesn she have one? (very possible in a fantasy image) the light on the cat and the girl are not matching if you crop the girl out your image seems more in balance to me. good job on working in the house in the scene.

Thanks for your suggestions Eladine. I was also not sure about whether to put the girl or not, but finally decided to have her there. I wanted to show her as if she materializes from the leaves, that is why I gave her no lower part of the body.
I'm away from home now and unfortunately I won't be able to fix this on time.
