Very creative work . Grass look blurry compare with trailer. High resolution grass background will match with resolution of source.

Good work! The wheels on this side we are looking at are too bright. If you look at the shading of the cabin, this side is a lot darker. Also your background doesn't do the image any good, try to find a nice grass hill in the alps like the source image. Good luck!

soooo creative. Great work.

LOL! I did something almost identical to this and never submitted it. I think you did a really good job on the tractor although the background image sucks a bit of life out of your image. The grass isn't as sharp as the tractor and the bails shadows don't match the tractor's. With a little work this could be GREAT!. Good job and good luck!

Agree with the rest of the flog here. Change the background, fix shadows (they're a bit dark/excessive anyways) and it will be awesome. Holding my vote here..

i like this

I think you have done a fine job constructing the tractor trailer. Perhaps a better background picture would be an improvement, just don't forget to show your source link or the picture in your sbs.

Nice work! You just need a link to the background source.

Very nice and neat work; I just don't like much the shadows, they are not convincent for a sunny day like your background shows.

Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions. I had originally used the wrong background image (downsized version) for the background. That should be fixed now along with the shadows below the tractor and trailer. I also added a note in the sbs that the background was a personal image. If you notice anything else, I would appreciate the heads up. Thanks!

Well since you said something and you still have time, perhaps some of the grass in front of the wheels!

Thanks Chalty

Good improvements, looking much more harmonic now and the shadows are a lot better. The smaller front wheel is missing a bit from the top, also the roofs edge could be finished with a bit more care. Good job, nice to see you took the time to fix and improve.

Thank you Widiar. The changes should be made now.

Congrats for your first place!

Congrats, very nice work

Very nice!

Good mood! But the mill has an unrealistic position. It looks like it's going through the rocks right now, the water isn't deep enough there I think. Good luck!

this image has a nice feel to it!

Agree with Tuckinator - nice feel. Well done!

Yes, the water is deep enough for the water wheel. Very nice image except the cabin at the top is out of scale. Love the color.

Nice scene interesting composition. The heron in the water is to sharp for the background you may want to soften the edges and also remove the un-wanted black edges. Would agree about the scale of the mountain cabin, love the bear in the cave nice little touch.

Thanks for the nice comments and great advices guys...i made some changes...

It's an image that transmits serenity. I like it a lot... GL!

@CMYK to me it's pretty clear that it's to shallow there. In front of the wheel I can even see the rocks coming out of the water. But it's not my image, good luck author!

Great image and nice color.

very nice work

very good job

Beautiful composition. It sort of reminds me of the Lord of the Rings. Great job, author. Lotsa luck!

Thanks a lot for the nice comments guys....

Congrats for your second place, Nebojsa!

congrats.......

Congrats! for 2nd place. Great color and mood.

Congrats for 2nd place!

Congrats!!!

pretty pretty pretty

Great work with the birds author,just few nit picks...roof top is to much pixelated,try to reduce noise a bit...some of the flowers needs a shadows...birds too...u still have time to make some changes author,and that would be great because this entry can be amazing...good luck

Lovely work author...its v.pretty..GL You definitely go into my fav's

Fantastic as usual Great birds

great work!

Very stylish work, and a superb image, I know it to late now maybe for future ref. The roof of the bird box would be casting a shadow and the hole is a little too small nitpicks but all adds to the realism.

Sweet, GL

Lovely and very well executed work.

Congrats for your third place, Lois!

Congrats!, beautiful work

Congrats with the 3rd place. Although I expected a higher score because of those beautiful flowers!

Congrats!!!

Very nice! gl

nice color n mood, gud luck author

Very nice work author,great colors and fabulous mood.Only thing that bothers me,picture of the lake looks like pre manipulated image...I am not 100% sure but colors of the image,mist and some other details look like some other already worked on original photo...any how i like your entry very much and wish u best of luck...

nice

Well, it's quite difficult nowadays to affirm which photo is natural or premanipulated. And sometimes we can see really unbeliaveble colors in the sky with our own eyes... I hope this shot is ok (author, be aware that premanipulated images are not allowed, ok?) Otherwise, it's a beautiful blending of images. GL!...

Great atmosphere and fantastic colours the only thing that is bothering me is the lighting on the fisherman i think if you flip him it will work better..... going by the tree shadows in the water

Water wheels don't sit in a lake, they are moved by running water.

I understand your concerns about the image but it was used in good faith. The photographer doesn't mention whether the image has been manipulated so I presume it's just a great shot.

Love the mood of this. A great piece of art. I can see it blown up and hung in someone's den!

A very good mood Well Done!

Very nice effects. But I'm not sure if your source is usable; don't google images, it's an advice I give you.
