ZOWIE KAPOWIE!!!!!!

beautiful ! cute entry , well done

Have more grass overlapping the bases so they don't look like they're floating...otherwise, nice job!

i like em floating.. always imagined grim reapers floating.. jusy my opinion though. Great work Author

agrees about what cmyk said but still a very creative and unique take on the theme. GL!

wow

I like everything except the background. I would've liked to see something with more details in the background, like some tombstones or some eery clouds or something. Nice entry regardless.

hey thanks everyone for your comments. i'll work on that "floating" thing. and i messed with the background a bit before i decided on this more "plain" setting. i really wanted the focus on them...too much in the background really caused an issue.

Thanks again!

Creepy romantic, author! GL...
Just one thing, only noticeable in hi res: beside bones still are white spots...
@Slushy: what language are you talking? Or who is he/she?

great and nice...... a little suggestions, the edges of the palms are a little sharp... and they need some shading too...... good luck

I agree with westfall I like the floating look also

Great work author...good luck

Love this, very clever use of source. Agree with erikuri, her hand bones need erasing. LOL @the shadowing on his staff - reminds me of Nightmare Before Christmas character!

Okay, good thing i forgot my external drive with the update on it, i now have just a final tweak to do to the image and i'll update my entry.

Thank you all for the suggestions. Should have an updated version before the contest ends.

ya know, now that Westfall has pointed it out, it does kind of add a better effect to make them look like they are floating.

HOLY CRAP! 8 favs? You must me, just delighted with that.

wow ........... great ..............all the best to u ..........

I absolutely love this...great job with the skeleton hands and looks awesome in high res...GL

top job

Very Gothic !! good luck author

OH LORD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL... THE DOGS NAME IS MARVIN!!!.. oh god.. I'm dying here... rotflmao... oh cheese sauce.. awesome author

SQUEAL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>AHHHHHHHHH

this is very funny, well done.. good luck.

nicely done -- one small thing -- there is a seam in the track on the upper left

simple and funny..

i think i seen this tutorial in how to cheat in photoshop cs4 only it was a lamp post begin bent all the same good work only 1 problem the dog is pulling forwards but the post is bending sideways

alan is right, you can see the seam at hi-res, should be easy to fix. good point, piglet - see if you can bend the pole to the front. otherwise, very cute chop, author - good doggie find, Marvin is sweet.

Like this, very nice

Excellent idea and execution!

It's so cute and very funny!
Maybe they are right about the bending side of the pole, but... I like it a lot!

Fabulous...puppy power...

just 1 more point move dog slightlto left hide a bit of the lead and bend pole in right direction then perfect

Looks like Mighty Mutt Marvin is working a different angle on that pole now, great job author I like the shadow work.

nice .......... he is very strong .......... all the best to u ..........

good work... keep it up... congrats...

Congratulations!!!!!

Beautiful work...

great great work

Pretty fast submitted entry! I like the idea, you may want to mask the top of the pawn a bit better (some white edges here and there). Good luck!

Pretty good, but room for improvement!

Im not entirely certain, but wouldn't the shadow be bent outwards over the slope rather than inwards? - the shadow from the furthest tower is too dark in relation to the closest - and - maybe a little addition to some shadows from the terrain would help place everything better - especially from the mound covering the foreground tower as it's casting nothing...

Oh and the glare fom the bottom of the 'tower' it's not true to where you're placing your shadows from, so maybe get rid of it and add some highlights to the relevant side

Thanks for the comments.

Cool over all. I personally don't think the duplicate background towers add anything, however. Also, the palm trees look fake. And the hi-res version highlights the white edge around the tower's top and the fakiness of the tower-bottom and sand-dune edges.

The top of the tower still remains sharp and white spots are there . but this is a good image... you have to make some touches there... good luck...

Great but as above you could just try the matting controls, use the "layer" / "matting" from the top drop down menus and remove white matt or defringe to get rid of them, Then quick select and feather those edages slightly.

nice creation ................ i like it ........ Gl to u ..........

Thanks for the helpful feedback. Image is now complete.

Very nice, like the Pizatower, but in the mountains

I like it! GL!

yeah a much better image!?!... GL

i like the colder climate version!! great job!

Nice work, and well done, gl

Very nice, good luck

Fantastic work author...IMHO u don't need other tower...any how this is great,high marks from me...best of luck

nice

Good.

GL

Thank you.

Super! It looks like the tower will fall out of the image at any moment
