Very nicely done! Link for lamp is wrong, and there's no power cord to the computer...

Ooops! My fault! Wrong link... I'm lost among so many stocks Cord!? What for? There's no electricity

Then why is there a computer, ya knucklehead?

Its a pet pc with cassette tape drive. High tech

More like Home Office Bomb Shelter. Very good blend and use of external sources.

Thank you guys! CMKY, the old PC is just a surreal touch, like things out of place only seen in dreams Jawshoewhah, actually "Home office" is a joke. I conceived the place as a dungeon or something like that, but of course one may work it out differently, according to one's mood or state of mind

Well, I like your image anyway...good luck!

scene shud be a bit more dark accordin to the light source. good luck.

It is a great entry. Light, environment itself is nice. Good luck author.

great mood

i like the mood of pic very much author... lil nict pickings: presently lamp light is casting white light on right side of floor..? also i wud hv added little glow on the floor right below the hanging lamp to make the beautiful image much more beautiful.... jus me thou...

Nice ligthing, and a great blend of different sources, i would try to add a blue overlay with a low opacity to help contrast the harsh browns and oranges. Otherwise, great job!

now that's amazing and creative, definately a work i can learn from, thumbs up

Thanks ponti, have made changes.

Agree with ponti... Good work on light and shadows and blending

I like step 6...just personal opinion.

Well done

Very nice image, i would suggest darkening the bottom of the buildings a bit, but the rest looks good.. wonderful mood.

Kind of surrealistic feeling... nicely done.. good luck author.

Congratulations for third place!

congrats Cornelia

Congrats for your third place and a Happy New Year, Cornelia!

congrats

A unique entry, with a creatuve use of sources, however the rug seems to have just a bit too much shadow of the bottom right and looks like is levetating off the ground. The boots may be just a hint too much as well but that's more opinion than anything.

Went with your shadow tip........Jaws, Thanks for the tip and compliments people.

Update: shadowed the one side of the magazine and added a little glow to the candle thanks for the great tip closedeyes.

wonderful image,lovely mood and a great idea but the perspective of the floor looks a bit odd

Oh yeah, it looks a lot better now, maybe stil a wee bit on the left side but you can see now how all that extra shadow just kind of gives it tehe illusion that it's hovering? Trust me, we probably all make that same mistake our first few shadow chops

very good

nice entry... gl

bet tht shoes does'nt belong to teddy author... nice colours... li'l nitpicking: book cover away from the lamp where the teddy has got dark shades can get little shades... little glow around the candle can make it more lively... like the touch of snow on shoes.... over all its really good image...

Nice entry author

Congrats for 4th place....

Why what? It's a nicely done image, but I don't get the relevance of the title. The shadows of the boy & toy should rotate about 5 degrees counterclockwise.

very nice blend of sources, and excellent shadows. Great job!

I would adjust the shadows on the kid and car. Only noticable in high res but they kind of seem like the are floating. The books are a better match as far as correct shadow. I was confused by the title too. Perhaps you could include that in your description.

EDIT: It appears like you made the shadow adjustment. I didn't mention before but you did go a good job on the perception and felt I must give you props.

So far my favorite in this contest. The use of a vanishing point is outstanding. Few things are more satisfying than finding a nice quiet place to read, play with a car, or just be alone. I really like the feel of this peice.

very nice g.l

Very good work

the doorway is off center

Thanks for the contructive comments. Yes I did adjust the shadows per CMYK46 about 2.5 degrees & tried to clarify the title. I also adjusted the shadow under the car(thanks jawshoewhaw) and trimmed the edges of the shadow because it had a bit of a curve to it. RickLaMesa, The source window was off center too. I just put the door where the window was, lol.

looks real nice...gl

nice blending of sources author... well done...

Nice work.

Personally I think it quite good, nice image and well done

I like this, great work
