fade the furs around his face and body since it is a dog, now looks cut-out

drop shadow below dog to be added, according to light direction

Wouldn't mind having such a cute guard dog

well done congrats nice

Congrats, nice work

Congrats on your FiRST place... Wonderful entry.

Congrats!

cool one! congrats!

Looks amazing, i like the view, perhaps too much roof?

thanks akassa im going to make this big and look for a nice place in mine house to put it

l like this

just a suggestion, please make a blending of the wall towards the ceiling, now looks like two separate items pieced together....then, it's PERFECT!

CONGRATS!!!

Congrats on 2nd, well done.... : )

very good effects! Congrats!

Her body looks too small and not proportional to the rest of it. Lovely concept and coloring.

suggestions:
1) underwater feel, should include glistening to the mermaid
2) make hair more "lighter" (now looks heavy, too thick) and free flowing
3) the dangling sea-plants should have different shades of green to create depth
4) trailing bubbles around arms and tail, to create sense of movement
5) lift up the abdomen of the mermaid to make her more shapely
6) add some fish near her, both infront and behind her

hope these suggestions are useful

thank you both for the great feedback... I took note of what you said and made changes.

I hope you like them

Congrats!!

Congrats

ooh.... its perfect now, go frame it up and CONGRATS!

Well done!

hehehe.. (I would get rid of the two white paper sheets behind the warrior.. just burn them or clone them out, or turn them into papyrus or something .. they just don't fit the awesome mood you created.. but that could be me.. GREAT JOB!!

(they center him great, but they look to modern to me )

(YES.. the paper is gone and the image is fantastic now.. GOOD LUCK)

Thanks Drivenslush, I have removed 2 white paper sheet from background.

great job... but the picture let me expect something in the pit.

suggest add a little hint of a creature in the pit to complete the whole story

Thanks aheman for suggestion. He is expecting something. Suspense

This is very lovely, but the dream catcher is too close to the woman, it looks like the feathers are balancing the entire thing on the top of her head...

Great work on the subtle background image.

Yep, the woman should move back a bit, but good idea.

thanks for the feed back .. too late to fix now.....should i have made the dream catcher lighter in colour to give the sense of depth?

Why too late to fix...don't you save layers? If not this should be a lesson. Being able to tweak entries is always helpful.

thanks CMYK46 thought that once deadline was over that entries could not be altered. //

Beautiful image!
