Author it's a very sweet image I noticed in high res the shadows around the cloned flowers on the dress need to be softened and something looks out of proportion to the rest of the image...not sure if it's the child or the trees or the flowers but something isn't quite right....I will hold my vote and check back

Thanks for the advice Christy I'll see what I can do

Yeah.. I think you were right with something not being right.. I decided to increase the size of the tree on the left and IMO I think it improved a bit. Also decreased the opacity of that shadow of the girl and tweaked the shadows of the trees. Hope it's better now Please leave feedback so I can improve and learn Thanks again Christy !

Light on trees is from 2 different angles. Light on child is opposite that on the foreground tree. Please try to consider light sources when making this type of image.

Conflicting light sources and shadows. Also your tree source links go to the same image.

The lighting ill try to fix and thanks for the feedback. But the source image of the tree consists of two textures meaning it only shows you one in CG tex when you are not logged in. If you log in you will see both trees visible as image 1 and two. Thanks guys...

I've changed the lighting and added some other effects.. Hope this improves 'cause you guys are sure hard to please

*********NOTE THE IN ORDER TO SEE SOURCE 5 (TREE 2) YOU HAVE TO BE LOGGED INTO CG TEXTURES************* if you are not you will only see one image that is source 4 (tree 1)

Better author!!! Glad I held my vote....Best of Luck

very nice moody work author...best of luck

oh what a princesss!!! Great work on this.

Thanks people

I know lights are hard when diff. sources, but you got a nice mood here. Cheers!

Great concept ... love the story you have created here ... just not sure where she got the daffodil in a field of dandelions ... but I am going to assume she brought it with her and is trying to find her way back to the daffodil field! I really want to give her a hug, she looks a little unhappy.

Thanks for all the coments guys I really appreciate the support

Thanks for voting!! So happy with first!!

Congrats for your first place, Toothpick!

Congrats on first place!

Oh so pretty and magical, well done. My only suggestion would be to lighten the stems of some of the daffodils. Especially the ones in the background.

very nice dreamy image...best of luck

Excellent execution

Looks very comfy!

@Emik: thanks for your suggestion, I really appreciate it.
thanks everyone

moon's on the left but the light hitting the girl is on the right

Congrats for your second place, Ace!

Congrats on second place!

thanks everyone

...your texture...is way too heavy. looses the detail in what you are trying to portray here, not to mention, makes it hard to see what exactly you did with blending the "desert" to the "daffodils" . there is a "mood" element to it, but because of this heavy overlay it makes it entirely too distracting. also, your "rain" layer could be softened a little bit.
i hope you don't take this wrong, because i'm only trying to help your vision along...i haven't voted, but i'm sure who you are so i think you'll take my critique the way it is intended.

Thanks a lot Jade ! Working on it

EDIT : Updated. Hope its better. Thanks again

now is way better author...mood stands up now and there is no distractions...love the final product...best of luck

Congrats for your third place!

Congrats on third place!

SBS would help you out.

nice piece...gl

I think the white stuff at the bottom of the globe is the only thing that doesn't seem to make sense.

nice scene author...good luck

Excellent author

Thanks both!

Interesting concept ... the contrast between the gray and the flowers in the light is very nice.
