nice idea -- res of the bike is a bit low and the masking in areas needs a touch up -- the rear reflector, front sprocket, top edge of the top tube, and the grassy area on the front wheel need works

Very nice work, the hand placements are great ... good luck author

I agree with Geexman, the hand placement is perfect. Great work

very cool idea author....gl

Great mood. But the cage could use a bit of transparency for better blend.

You have GOT TO email me that texture. I love it and this is so great!

I absolutely love the texture too. I love this style of art.

Beautifully subtle, yet you added some color to it, keeping it from being *another* boring monochrome. VERY nice work!

cool...

hahahah! Nice

classic! well done

I guess I'm too much of a patriotic prude...The Statue of Liberty??? Couldn't you have just used a skyscraper, or a mountain, or something not quite so symbolic?

Funny, but a bit blown out.

Why did you flop the statue? Not only is that not correct, I don't think it's right. Good idea, but have to agree with MossyB, try to find an image not symbolic to any particular country. I'll give you a chance and will wait to vote, but not too long.

I don't object to the subject matter, but I'd think you would pay attention to light sources. The light on the dog is clearly from upper right (look at tail shadow) and the light on the statue is clearly from upper left.

Lady Liberty carries the torch in her right hand. It is the dog that should be flipped.

Why don't you choose another image for your dog to urinate on.... poor taste= poor vote

ok ok...i changed it...happy now?

YEP! you bet your A i am, , good changes This is looking way better

Good god, some people don't have any sense of humor... I didn't see the original picture, but i'm pretty sure it was funny.... you gotta chill out sometimes, y'know.

Neither the edges of the dog nor its (missing) shadows on the house are realistic. Showing the dog urinating on something more interesting (perhaps Wall Street bankers -- but I still wouldn't know what the dog represents) might be more compelling.

man i feel sorry for you author, the first picture was cool, it had some comedy in it. it sucks that you got pushed into changing it because of some over pc users. you shouldn't have to sensor your self when you have followed all the rules. keep up the good work

Comedy has nothing to do with it. It's called a modicum of respect. The Statue of Liberty does not deserve such poor taste, and it has NOTHING to do with "humor."

And YES, a good 'chopper SHOULD be able to censor themselves when they are participating in a contest based on popular votes. It doesn't take THAT much effort to be respectful of something that is very symbolic to millions of people.

Thank you, author for changing the image. As a proud American, I appreciate it.

that house looks like it could be a house in Switzerland or something. Are you disrespecting little old Swiss people?!!!!! lol
FYI~I'm trying to make a point here.

I’m having a hard time understanding you MossyB. As a Canadian, you could make a chop of a dog pissing on our parliament, on the Olympic stadium or you could even have the CN tower up you’re a$$ and I would never get offended, I would just have a good laugh with you. Proud American = no sense of humor, I guess.

Anyway, i'm out of here

peace and love!

lol, great on a white house too.
Ok I read all the commnets, and now I have to add my two cents. I probably wouldn't think much of it, but there is a reason why for example at my work we are not allowed to talk about 3 things. Sex, religion, and politics. These can be very sensitive subjects to some people, and I have seen arguments started because of them. Author, I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it, because you went out of your way to change it. This is a good reminder for all of us to take it easy, keep it light and have fun.

why does comedy have nothing to do with it? i liked the image and voted for it because it was funny so comedy can take a big part in the popular vote. and i still dont think that any one should have to censor themselves, if you dont like it, click away and dont vote for it, simple as that

Author YOU did the right thing. Your picture is 100% better as it it now. Your first image was not of this quality, and from a taste point of view it is much nicer. To the others:

In America we have the "liberty" to speak and express our selves as we please, that still does not mean that a good deal of us Americans are not offended at the sight of our national emblems and monuments, being desecrated, purely for humor or artistic expression.
Once again very good changes in all respects.

classic!!! goodluck

A wet patch on the wall would have finished it off nicely.

nice images -- maybe a bit of work on the masking around the feet would improve this -- they are a bit blurry and the line between the feet and the road should be more defined

=)))))) great

fantastic work author...well done

Doesn't seem gigantic to me...you've removed anything that we wuld have to compare scale with.

Take a look at the pond's size, I don't think the horse would have taken all that place if it was normal-sized

Perhaps you see it author, but honestly I too am having a hard time seeing how supersized your very cute colt is. Maybe you could add some trees, just a suggestion.

Thank you EmiK, i'll do that asap

It's too dark without sufficient scale comparison. Whatever it is in the lower RH corner isn't clearly identifiable and the top of the horse is almost impossible to distinguish from the clouds. There's also a very noticeable white edge around the legs and backside of the horse.

Updated. Thanks for the suggestion, EmiK

That looks great, glad you were able to make the changes. = )

Great artsy look.

I've seen your previous one, and I too could not see how you supersized it, but it is a lot better now. I also love the texture you used. Very nice

great work...well done
