i like this, but i think the source is just a little lost in the middle of everything IMO, still very cool though!

The [contest] source gets lost because it's not as crisp/sharp as the other elements which diminishes the impact of the (otherwise intriguing) image overall IMO.

The edges of things, especially the trees and the building, are a little crude and fuzzy. But the picture is otherwise awesome. Fix that, and you got a high vote from me.

nice job blending two images together

Foreground penguins are distorted...would be good to see a SBS to see how you made the ice effect, which is nicely done.

very nice

Yeah very good! I love the way you worked with the ice !! I do agree with CMYK46 though...
But a good peace of work and succes with the contest !!

Thanks for all commenting. . SBS has presented and removed penguins

Thanks for the advice CMYK46

Nice freezing effect on the stone house!

Looks much better without the penguins - you had good advice!

very nice work author...good luck

Lovely winter landscape!

Great idea, but in high res there are a lot of bad edges, and hair from his beard showing, like on his palm. Take some time to look this over & do some cleanup, and you'll have a great image.

CMYK46 _ Thanks for the guidance ! Image has been fix

Look over the high res again. There's a bad edge on the head scarf on his nose, and more of his beard showing at mid left, as well as a transparent edge where 2 parts of the scarf overlap.

I think you didn't need to touch on the sleeve.

Man give the poor guy some eyedrops hahaha

Image I've tried to fix up again. I think now would be fine.! Thanks all for comment .

Oh yeah IRONCOW I'll give it eyedrop ...ha ha ha

Beautiful image, nice coloring and mood. You're showing all you can do here, and very well!

Not bad, but the horse in the background looks like it's about to fall over. Also, the whites are blown out.

Interesting. But I have to admit that if the background horse would just let go and fall into the water, this image would prompt more feelings from me -- but I confess to being somewhat insensitive in general and not especially moved by horses in particular.

nice job author...nearest horse needs shadow...GL
