i like this, but i think the source is just a little lost in the middle of everything IMO, still very cool though!

The [contest] source gets lost because it's not as crisp/sharp as the other elements which diminishes the impact of the (otherwise intriguing) image overall IMO.

The edges of things, especially the trees and the building, are a little crude and fuzzy. But the picture is otherwise awesome. Fix that, and you got a high vote from me.

nice job blending two images together

Thanks for all comments !

Congratulations!! Great entry!

Congrats!!

Nice compo, author. It seems a calm and warm summer afternoon.

very cool work author with nice colors...i like texture on the Petra castle...one nit pick,in position like this birds should cast some shadow...best of luck

Very nice work. Not sure about the birds, the lighting is wrong on them considering where the sun is setting. Otherwise well done and good luck.

Thanks for comments, folks. Birds are a little darker, but as low s the sun is, birds would hardly cast shadows on the part of the beach which shows. At least IMO.

Birds are much better now. Agree with you regarding shadows. Good luck

awesome work!

Nice mood!

Congrats! for 2nd place

Lois, congrats for one more beautiful work!

very nice compo.., nicely done

I LOVE the coloring!
It would be spooky if you'd add a body hung on the trunk, and his head down on the shore...

very nice work author...good luck

Very nice mood to this. Well done. Slight comment would be the shadow at the foot of the building looks a bit sharp.

very good work!

Congrats, Nasir! Wonderful...

congrats!!! NASIR

Congrats!!

good idea -- maybe add some people in front and some sort of a door would help -- nice blend of the building into the scene

Thanks Alan2641, added a couple of people.

Cool... it seems a kind of amusement attraction (a horror castle, for example...) I like the idea and the blending.

nice idea good luck

So creative and I'm sure this took a good while to make. Fits in perfectly = )

Cool!....nice fit.

great idea ...i like it ! gl

Very very good blend author and great idea...my only suggestion would be to play with a levels just a bit more...u have maybe 10% light colors more then u needed,so decrease white just a bit...best of luck

Nice work and good masking.

hehehe.. looks like a street in Disney World LOLOLOL

Thanks for all the comments. Much appreciated.

great idea!

Congrats...this was my favorite...

Foreground penguins are distorted...would be good to see a SBS to see how you made the ice effect, which is nicely done.

very nice

Yeah very good! I love the way you worked with the ice !! I do agree with CMYK46 though...
But a good peace of work and succes with the contest !!

Thanks for all commenting. . SBS has presented and removed penguins

Thanks for the advice CMYK46

Nice freezing effect on the stone house!

Looks much better without the penguins - you had good advice!

i like this!

Lovely winter landscape!
