Hmm the phone is about to fall you maybe want to make the space betwee her ehad and the shoulder smaller, try to cut her off from the background and use liquify :P

Thanks for the tip Akassa. Took care of it the best I could...

lighten the image, lower the contrast or saturation or whatever you overdid there i think it should look more like the original, adds to realism.

Thanks for your keen observation elficho. Edit: reduction of saturation.

Funny!

This made me laugh. I like the reflections too...but the reflection has more detail showing in its tailfin than the actual fish. What happened to the top of the tailfin?

EDIT: Understood author! Makes sense...really funny image!

Happy you got a giggle out of this. The full length of the fish is half out of the water. That was my intent to make it look like a tall tale. About the clearer details of the tail under water, well... there are less ripples on the water.

very dark hehe GL

Oh no thanks... I think, I'll stay outside Funny idea! Good luck

cute idea but some parts are very blurry and some parts are way too detailed.

Lenaina, I am with you on that! I'll stay outside too.

k5683 thanks. That's what happens when you work freehand on the monitor. I don't use a graphic tablet either. I am saving for a Wacom. Hopefully it will save me from pulling any more hair out of my scalp. He, he, he...

Nice idea!

hehehe

hmmmm

Nice idea, but image looks low res and pixelated. Make sure you start with the highest resolution of the source image next time to avoid that. Good luck!

I agree...you have plenty of time to use the highest res source pic & resubmit...it's a good idea.

unskitty and CMYK46: I really appreciate the constructive and helpful comment. I am going to be gone and I don't know if I'll have the time. But, your suggestion did not fall in deaf ears . I'll keep it in mind for the future.

nice job! i like this a lot. very creative.

I have to ditto unkskitty and CMYK, but despite of the fact, that it is very pixelated, the idea is very good. That little door in front of the "castle" with the little gate is a very nice idea. Good luck
