great idea ! awesome imagination ! very well executed

nicely assembled picture

Creative and clever. (I wish you had replaced the drink with the teeth mug -- more amusing and I think the image would be better balanced.)

Thankyou for the comments and Dan, you were right. I've removed the soda and moved the denture glass into it's place. I had been thinking of doing that as well, but your suggestion convinced me to go ahead. Hope it looks ok now.

Niiiiiice!

The mug looks like it's floating because it doesn't have a little shadow around its base -- see the bottoms of the condiment dispensers or even the near edge of the flatware. (BTW if you have a glass mug, you could put water in it and position it in front of a checkerboard to see which edges are actually transparent [rim and outer handle edge not so much] and how the curved, thick-glass handle and the water distort the checkerboard.)

Thankyou again Dan for the suggestions, I repaired the shadow on the mug and made the handle and edges of the cup more opaque. Thankyou everyone else for your kind comments

Very good work author...good luck

nice entry

great entry! gl

nice work

I like the snagle tooth pussy cat. Very funny. lol

Poor kitty! Very funny image!

Beautiful looking kitty and a great duck as well...If the duck and cat would have been a little more closer in the image, it would have been much better.....and you would require a little bit of better blending in that as well but would look awesome...

It's great and funny! Very creative!

lol nice and funny

anarchick: The orange thing on the duck's head is the required plate, but your confusion raises the question whether the "clearly recognizable" criterion has been met for that random item.

You did a good job on the feathers and fur! I think the hat needs a sharper edge and the hammers perspective is a bit off. Overall nice blend.

Poor cat,i heard that duck's have bad temper...lol...good luck author

Such a cute creation.....GL

good luck

this is hilariuos! llllllove it.. gl

Oopppss, poor cat. Funny image

if i had not read the comments i would never (and dont really see it even now) have known it is suppose to be a plate. good luck.

Congrats for top 7

Lol, nice idea too!

Haha, funny! But, as you see, it needs some shadows and brightness/contrast adjustments.

Haha, funny!

hammer duck hahahaa wow , great combo - needs more blending

nice work

Sorry...but how do you think that is this crap good...:-S

Or that shit down here...

Well...I wanted it to look funny and it's definetly not one of my best works BUT there's still no need for you to be rude. I don't think you are Leonardo DaVinci yourself either...

Hahaha Leonardo Da Vinci

entry is cool , but the teeth need some more work

I always admire a person willing to enter a contest. You spent time figuring out the outcome of your image. I see that the duck and hammer are over sized. Make them smaller to go with the surroundings. Add some shadows and some highlights to the body of the duck and plate. Good luck.

Ivan, that kind of comments "crap" or whatever you might call this entry, is not good, for the improvement of the author, instead of using that kind of language, you can give a constructive comment and suggestion. I am sure, the author, will appreciate it.

duck and teeth are missing...

Yes, where is the duck? And teeth?

And there are several mistakes in your work... The shadow shows the wrong side of that hammer, it should be blurred too, the hammer looks like it's hitting the edge of those plates and again, before-time hammers should be blurred (motion blur)

I think it's preety good!

Liar!!! There is no duck and no teeth...

read the theme again author

is this a hammer duck plate contest???come on people random objects that's everything

Lol!!! Better... I knew I shouldn't vote yet and wait for you to make this picture better. Like many people.

looks way better ! great idea !

nice work

interesting....GL

good luck

Nice idea!

It would be better if you made cooked duck on a plate with a hammer in its broken teeth, but this is a nice idea too.

Looking at lighting source, your shadows must be a little darker, and run to the left. Duck has a fine white outline that you must take off...

A cormorant isn't a duck.

try to fix the shadows...

Create few more layers for better blending...with this light my advice is:first dark blue overlay layer,second,dark brown color layer and then maybe,but just maybe gold color or soft light layer.Of course play with opacity...just an idea author...good luck

funny idea

Lots of sources mean lots of work, I admire that. I noticed the duck has a halo around it. A quick fix is to ctrl click on the layer to select it. Then go to select/modify/contract. You will only need a couple of pixles. Then just inverse your selection and hit delete. Good luck.
