Work on the masking & blending on the giraffe.

I agree with CMYK about the giraffe...

hands,tulips,stripes fits perfectly,but giraffe is distraction,maybe to put some other smaller animal who fits better...

Now it's pretty nice!

Appealing sentiment, but it's hard to imagine anyone would illustrate it with this image if they weren't forced to use the source. (What parents want their kids to leap between blossoms far up in the sky?) That said, the intense colors of the blossoms overwhelm the kids. And their shadows are distractingly intense and don't follow the contours of the blossoms they fall on. I think moving the kids more to the foreground (i.e., bottom of the image) would be more effective. [Alternative concept: regular road lined by giant tulips on either side.]

Sorry, I don't think it's hard, when we're talking about fantasy...

The shadows could use some work, but the author's right..it is a fantasy and i dont think wondering wether or not a kids parents are going to let them on this road is what this image is about..lol..and about the color, i think the image intensity is on purpose describing the quote the author has given..GL author

Lovely colours, reflects the childlike fantasy

fun image!
