Very nicely done, personally i think the face lets the rest of it down a bit, but overall I really like it.

Not bad.

Very nice rider.

congrats

Congrats, nice work

Congrats,nr1

congrats so cute

Good job, but fade the near part of the reflection on the floor...

Simple but well chopped.

Congrats! for 2nd

Congrats,

very good...

super cool image but it looks like you only used the doll. you need more of the source

Uber moody, but the dark figure is hard to see against the dark tree...

Very minimal source used. I imagine you are new author and when it comes to source photoshop contests, it's ideal to use a lot more than you have.

... okay, i guess i made a mistake. I'm not new to this site, and i was aware that the provided source could be used in any way, there's not much more of the source i can add to this image, but thanks for your comments.

Author, you used the source image. What part you choose to use is up to you, and IMHO you used it well.

Thank you very much Nator and CMYK. Nator - i brightened up the Santa as much as i could, but unfortunately the .PSD file was corrupt, and so i had to do it straight on the JPEG. I hope it still looks okay.

Finall result is great but this is minimal use of source...

congrats matteo!

Congrats! for 3rd place

Congrats,

great idea, innitially i thought you used the doors to make the trees

Good idea! Perspective on the desk thing is off, and what's the red thing on the escalator?

Thanks CMYK,that red thing on the escalator is the Santa from the source image...

Love the idea, very original, I think the doors look to out of place, perhaps a border of clouds around them or even fading the edges might help. Fix that and strighten the desk and you'll have a great image

Thanks for the tips guys...CMYK perspective is fixed,Nator i think that clouds around Santa now have more depth and Ray,i add door cloud borders.I hope its better now.Thanks again guys....

Perspective isn't fixed...all images are straight on except for the desk which is angled left.

Agrees with the perspective but I think a better fix would be some more feathering on the bottom edge. It just seems a little hard, compared to the doors that you got right. I think santa's face should be a little lit more visable. For what it's worth, your imagination and creativity, as well as a unique entry will earn you extra points.

haha this is such a good idea

Kid is way too small compared to the doors...

That kid doesnt really want to bang his head into the shelf either I can fix him a bit larger,... Hope this is better

Looks like mist...

nice work with the water,but the light on the back of the kid dont match the room

sophia, yes,, i know, but i didnt think it would be noticed because of the water.

Nice image. IMO you could remove the kid entirely.

The waterfall and image really needed attention. They could have been cropped better. There's is no way not to notice the bright light on the back of the kid and I think your best bet would have been to find another kid source.
