Great image and message!

very nice i love it

Love these kind of images..."our imagination is the limit...."! Composition wise...very daring...! Technically speaking...not bad with some short remarks if I may: the little upside down image on the bottom left corner could have been slightly lighter and the overall background maybe not so dark. I know that you wanted the whole creation to pop up, but a different backround color might have actually helped the shadows come out clearer compared with the highlights! But then again...it's a matter of taste, cause overall IT IS a very good composition! Best of luck!

Nice surrealism. GL!

Fabulous work

amazing work!

Congrats for yout second place, Allex!

Congrats!!

congrats on 2nd place, this is an awsome peice of artwork

Wonderful work!!! gorgeous!

awesome her hair needs a bit of work.. also remove the flower from her forehead....
otherwise everything is great!!

I agree with Nishagandhi, the image is excellent except for the flower on the forehead, and i think that the bottom bart of the hair should have a few more ends, try using the smudge tool at 1-2pxls. Good luck.

I made some changes and i think now it's better... thank u all for your comments

Great! creative and very nice..

Very rpetty image!

I won't lie: I do like the image, still some small remarks: there's a bit of a difference between the softness of the hair and the sharpness of the eyes! Also, the green color of the eyes makes her face look too cartoonish, maybe darken the green just a touch or add some shadows and highlights to them! I do agree with the flowers in the background, you could find a better choice and instead try either loosing one of the two flowers in the hair that makes her look like having teddy bear ears or place more flowers of different sizes in random positions on just one of the sides...! Best of luck!

Not bad, but did you not have a pre sketch? It's very strange to outline and shade something in this way, without starting with something underneath.

Congrats for your third place, Chakra!

congrats

Here in Brazil there's a beautiful pop song called "Lágrimas e Chuva", that means teardrops and rain... Your work fits with that song!

How beautiful is that!!! (Hi, there, in Brazil. We had an AFS student from Brazil many years ago.)

Great job!

stunning work............well done.

nice

Great image...

Fantastic work

A very romantic creation...excellent use of source and a very natural look, almost like the flowers were supposed to be there! And good relation between the flowers outside and the one in the hair...! Very nice! Simple but definitely effective! Best of luck!

well done

Very nice effects...like finall product so much...good luck

tooo lovely....

Oooo, this image is fantastic!

Thank you all for your very kind comments. They mean so much from you very talented folks!!

great job!

Nice shadows, nice construction... There is a black outline around the flowers, but other than that, this is a very nice image. Good luck!

Edit: Author, it's your image, and it's great, you don;t have to change a thing

Pretty combination of colors, but when flowers are 'flipped', shadows should be changed.

>artgirl.thanx......forgot all about that bit, I have made some changes now. > Ponti......yes, I see th edark lines, but when I was looking at the pic in cs, it looked like they might pass as light / shadows from the lighting above..

wow

overall nice image, the flowers in front of the vase throw it off a little bit, maybe show more stem or more of the top of the vase? it just kind looks like it's jumping out..other than that nice image

Wow...Lovely.....superb...

Great image!!! nicely done!

Very nice, great representation of your idea.

this is a lovely image

Maybe not the most original use of source...but very nicely done! And some sort of a conflict in shadows...the vase is throwing a shadow behind while the flower and the ring box have a shadow in front. Also the shadow of the vase is less defined than the rest, it almost looks like just some dark spots! Best of luck!

> nellista...the position of the shadow would depend upon where I intended the light to be coming from.........however, I do agree with you about the density of some of the shadows. My intention was that the shadows from the buds would not be to heavy, so as not to take over the shot. I deliberately made the stem shadow a little heavier, to give some impression of the shape of the stem itself. As for originality........it is original to me, as I have never done anything like this before. Thank you for your input...;

>Nator....strangely, I considered this option, but when I looked at it, it looked bare and lacking..........hence the stemmed bud and the ring.

Very cool work, almost looks like a picture.
