great idea and very different approach...author,did u draw earth,if is that show it in your SBS...

I agree about the Earth

i created that earth in corel draw and exported it as a pic and use it here and i dnt knw hw to put it in the sbs dats y i put it as a full pic

when you upload the entry... you have an option of adding a step by step guide
you can add the steps and images there...

nice idea

nice aproach however i would suggest a different font as that is a little difficult to read, good luck

Good idea. Font not so good.

font is liquifie thats y it kinda wobbly...actually thats the point...no pain no gain try to read and u'll get it

Nice work but the bottom of the tree (Stones) were cut wrongly, a part of the sea can be seen from the stones, try to fix it and give the stones some sand effect to be more realistic otherwise it's a good picture.

Nice idea -- the rope is not correctly shaped -- if it is meant to be pulled tight then it would not have the loop shape at the tree but be elongated or the loop would be tight on the tree -- if the rope is slack the loop would still drape the tree or be on the ground and the rope would have a curved shape.

em agree with you Alan, rope must be curved shape and the position of rope should be bottom!

needs a lot of work but the idea is kind of good...
please edit and upload it again
till then i am holding on to my vote

You left some white space between the branches. Why would a live tree be in the middle of a river?

Bob, i dont know why you hate surrealism that much. Cheers for the remark by the way, i'll try to fix that

DONE !

Sorry author,looked like realism to me.

The silhouette isn't very clean, there's quite a bit of white in the tree and the edges go from soft to hard with a lot of residual image pieces. If you use the magic wand, select the white, then go to selection and choose similar and click. Most all of the white will be gone but you may have to touch up the tree trunk a little and refine the shape a bit.. Sticking the tree in the water doesn't make this a surreal image just a tree out of place. The tree color doesn't match the background, it needs more blue.

And I suppose the tree casts a shadow on the water with all this sunshine...

i agree with Erica about the shadow,everything else is very good idea and nice chop...good luck

Simple isn't necessarily a bad thing. There's quite a bit of residual image in the silhouette, try the magic wand to select the white and then go to selection and choose similar to remove most of the white. ( you may have to adjust the strength of the wand and also need to touch up the tree trunk but that won't be difficult.) The rock base is too soft, try to make it look like it's in there with the grass. That foreground "ridge" looks odd but maybe that's what you wanted.

with grass like this maybe u should try with some other (darker) sky...best of luck

simple and simply the best!

The grass blades are very small, and the base of the tree is very soft, the edges should be a lot harder where the tree meets the grass, i also think that the horizon is too sharp and too linear. Good luck!

Good picture! Work on your masking techniques.
