The cat and lamp bring a wonderful element to your work author. I will add this to my favs.... just lovely.

Pretty cool mood, why don't you crop half of it ? Cause nothing happens in the right side.

Not sure why I like this so much...but it's surreal and cool. Maybe add some subtle beam of light coming from the lamp.

Nice one author but I think you need to do some refinement on birds shadows to make it standout more.. GL!

thanks for the comments everyone.
bcabilan: thanks for your great feedback. Still learning how to shadow etc: I will explore your ideas and try to develop my skills more.

Fabulous piece of work author...well done

nice one

Really cute.

Congrats!!

Nice use of the source for the shirt pattern!

very nice work

If you could remove the greenish cast to the bear and warm him up a bit...It will help separate him from the background. Maybe make the bear a bit more tan/beige, rather than yellowish green. Nice job!

EDIT: Yes...looks better! Nice job! I do think the bear could use less of a bluish tone and more of a warmer tone. It would really help author!

thank you all for your comments ... Pixelkid..... Thanks for the constructive feedback... good ideas .. I agree.... Will see what i can do be for deadline.

HOPE YOU LIKE the changes

i added a filter overlay, sepia. masked the shirt and deleted one gradient layer of the background.

poor wittle bear.. nice work!!!

great work!!!

I think it is really neat how several different people can look at something and get different things out of it. Fantastic job on the bear. Good Luck to you.
This would make a really great ID photo for you.

like your work author gl..

Fantastic work author...well done

nice work...........

The moon illuminates more than the sky.
You have the ground so dark that nothing can be seen, which is not consistent with a full moon, especially one that large in the sky...
The objects should be showing some back lighting, as well as slight cast shadows on the ground from the moonlight, which should be shining on the ground as well as the objects on top of the ground.

good theme

Beautiful

thank u ramesan

Like the concept author. I do have one question. Wouldn't the candle cast a shadow the other way with the marker causing a double shadow effect and light up the forward shadow some? Best of luck.

congrats on fourth place... lots of entries .... well done

very nice image -- like the wide format gives a great look

Different and nice... great atmosphere.

Nice reflection effect with the clouds and the hovering figure. Has a kind of Mystery feel to it.
