Very nicely done! The filter should only be applied to the canvas, not the frame, and IMO should be toned down just a bit, but still excellent work.

Very nice and realistic, but I also agree with both about filter.

To CMYK46, Nator, erikuri: Thank you guys! I've updated image with new fraimed one.! Is that looks better? Thanks again.

Canvas is still too filter heavy. (Rembrandt would never have made such heavy texture.).

I have changed filter as suggested, thank you! I have also corrected an eye and hat a little bit.

nice idea

Looks great in high res now...good luck, author!

Thank you CMYK46 ,much appreciated!

Thank you Chuck!

Nice work....as an oil painting, it needs a little bit more texture.

Excellent!

Thank you All, for your nice comments, votes and FAV - I am really appreciate it!

An underwater background will be more nice...

Nicely done Good Luck

agree with hereisanoop - might look even better in an underwater scene but still very nice. Good luck

I've changed background from black to more sea related colours... - is that looks better now?

beautiful !

To hereisanoop, oasisman and steed: Thank you very much! Much appreciated.

To gamemastertips: This is very strange, I can't beleived myself ... i was really, relly amazed when I found out

Aww!! That's hilariously adorable...great work!

cute! the sign needs some work, the bottom left corner most, but all around it.

toilet?

Good idea. You could make the sign with a piece of wood from the tree and give it a brown colour. The sign looks a little weird in high res.

gamemastertips: Thank you very much. I am quite new to a photoshop and this is my first ever contest.

lvstealth: Thank you , I haven't noticed that I've mised the bottom left corner ( wrongshaddow? or white corner sticking out - forgot to erase this part)
I have created this sign myself - using the rectangular marque tool ( 3 layers - the bottom layer was shifted a bit to the left and the 3 rd top layer was filled with the white paint), applied shaddow effect to the bootm layer and erased corners of all layers and changed (using eraser) shape a bit to make sign looks like a piece of wood. White paint (what I forgot to erase - the bottom left corner - under the "To Let' sign is blurry brush and opacity).

nice work ...........

The idea is funny, but make sure if you can use the owl source. If not, and you have to look for another source, also try to look for a high res image, so the owl will look less pixelated. Good luck!

oops, yeah, it looks like the image is not usable. you can find another though, it is not too late!

wazowski: Thank you, I am going home in a couple of hours and will edit my current entry. Yes the owl picture is blurry and I need to look for better image, so I am going to change with the hi res one

Ressiv: Cool! That's a great idea, Thank you!

very cool work and great idea author...best of luck

I am ready to move in, what is the monthly rent?

Well we can discuss it, but I think a couple of worms, spiders and frogs would work for a property owner..

pretty cool!

To Euration , Tuckinator and swordfish: Thank you Very much for your comments guys much appreciated!

Congrats!

Wow, it's great for a newbie and 1st. contest! Congrats for the 1st. place! It's a nice incentive to go on...

To blindsientist, spaceranger, gamemasterips: Thank you very much ! Horray

Absolutely brilliant sweetheART fave ;} happy hippy hugglez

To valzart: Thanks a lot!

I feel tthe background is a little too empty. Good job with the fly tho.

It's probably matter of opinion about background. Personally (IMO) I think making another metal fly similar to it, sitting next to the original fly would make it far more interesting. But you got a day left.

very nice creation...good luck

very nice!

Thank you all for your comment, favs and votes! Really appreciated!
