Very cool! The SBS helped me to see how smartly you used the source! Nice!

nice usage of the source...GL author

This made me laugh. Try duplicating the middle dog figure and flipping it and lowering the opacity on 'multiply' mode...this will give you a reflection that I think you might need.

if i understand you ,, thats what i dit but the source image have his own shadow

Try to blend your reflection with the source's reflection by using lower opacity in your reflection layer. Also with a soft brush with low opacity you can erase parts of your reflection for a better result.

I love the work you put into this! Drawback, reflection in pond is wrong, like the DOF!

sorry but i want some body to show me wat i have to do let me know i send you this work in psd file for you to fix for me to learn thanks

Yup, it's dark, alright...

WOO HOO! Reminds me of the Pumpkin decorations we put up around Halloween, good luck author

I don't really get what you're mad about:
- comments discouraging authors ?
-stock sites that want you to pay? ( like those bastards from photoexpress who no longer give free stocks to new users)
- this site's guidelines ?
- the grammar of the English language ? ( you should see French grammar!)

Anyways, good luck with your protest, i would however take all these issues one by one:
one poor entry for comments , one entry for stock and so on.
