Face of the cat is priceless,position of the body (clap,clap),great work author...

RUB THE BELLY and you'll get your wish

Great image! Tiny nitpick: try to replace the cut off whiskers. Good luck!

Great chop! Good cut out. My only issue is the background, that photo doesnt look clean, the blue part is full of blurry spots. Good Luck!

I love it a lot! It's a very cute image, and very well executed!

Great face on the cat with very nice blending

congrats on super belly kitty!!!!

Congrats for your first place, Puppetized!

Congrats for first!

Congrats, really well done

Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!

Really good work here, everthing fits in perfect.

Rhino tough haha! I would blend the Airforce decal on his belly a bit and give more vapor clouds around the deck for the amount of thrust it takes to get this weapon airbourne. Good idea Author.

Dawg, not sure what you mean by "blend the decal more", but thanks for the suggestion about the vapor clouds...I think it's a lot better now!

Kevin, read the description again. It's fine and perfectly on theme. I would just suggest giving the Rhino just a hint of Gaussian blur to make it seem to blend but other than that, excellent idea, unique and well executed. GL!

@Kevin: "The animal must be flying using their own power (eg. by adding wings, a propeller, ....) "...so what's wrong with rocket power?

Josh, the rhino is in focus, the background is blurred because it's the rhino we want to see! Check the SBS.

Rhino must be used to fly, as it looks so cool... hehehe!...
Nice entry, author, very funny!

Wow!! Wished I had come up with this idea. lol..
...heat haze....think you could add a little heat haze?...
I came across a chapter in the library the other day. They select and use the ocean ripple.

wow...now live power force...great idea author...gl

nicely done

haha love it!

Really well done! I especially like the highlights on the lower part of the rhino. Only suggestion would be to change the black point on the rhinos head to match the gun. Good Luck!

hahahaha lolll

Author what i meant on the decal is maybe duplicate it, set to overlay,
then back off opacity on the under layer a bit.
But you did very well with the vapors so it is looking much better
Good luck to you

nice work on the smoke and the over blending

Nice rhino machine

Congrats for your second place, Bob!

Congratulations, Bob!

i think this should've won

Thanks, Rick!

Glad to see this back, but the shadow of the sign is still off. GL.

awwwwe.. I miss all the animals but I'm so happy you kept the kitty on the back of the elephant.. still a great job!!! good luck!!!

It's strange they deleted your entry without warning... It's a nice image, with no doubt!

The turtle is so funny!

congrats...glad to see you made it!!!!!!!

Congrats for your third place!

Congratulations!

Nice image, the only things I would suggest changing are the butterflies (it is too obvious you have cut and paste each one three times, use more different images). I would also remove the blurry train from below the cat and the wings, adding a slight motion blur or manually blurring the ends of the image would make it look more realistic imo.

SOOOOO SWEET!!!... maybe arrange the butterflies in swirl patterns that are playing with the kitty... like that effect you get when you tie a ribbon to the end of a long stick and make it follow a trail pattern.. just an Idea.. the kitty is BEAUTIFUL!!

Just my 2 cents, but if there were only one butterfly (possibly a bit larger), it would give the image more of a focus. Good idea, though!

I COMPLETELY agree with you all! Let me see what I can do... thank you!

Damn,this kitty cat is very focused...yummy butterfly's...great work author...best of luck

Isn't she so fluffy and cute?

yes she is fluffy and cute.. just like you.. much improved with the single butterflies!!!

Thanks, Ernie... Fluffy is you, friend of mine...

Really CUTE! I would shift the bottom butterfly to the right slightly so it's more in the kitty's line of site, and I would drag the shadow layer a little further down so it looks like it under neath the cute flying cat. Motion trails may not be needed, but that's up to you. Such an adorable idea!

congrats girlfriend!!!!

Lol very cool.. GL

Interesting idea! Not sure if the artificial balloons add anything to the frog's ability to fly, though. GL.

hehehehehehehe

Nice entry!
But IMO there are too many balloons, they are a bit distracting; maybe one balloon is better!

I composed it new. Guess its better now

I relly like this one, its original and well executed. I actually like the baloons as part of the composition.

Nicely executed. It seems this is going to be a major road in the evolution of species. Your description made me think about the other recent discovery on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrxmpihCjqw

awesome to begin with.. even awesomer with the improvements.. EXCELLENT!!!
