nice thinking author!!!!!

thanks mehul...

Congrats, well done

Veeeery nice!!!!!! Good luck!!

very fun take on this source author.. GOOD LUCK!!

If you cloned out the giant water drops, this could almost pass for real snow. Very nice work.

Thank you all for your comments!!!

I made some changes: I erased the drops, I added the ski trail and some clouds...Trying to improve it.

very good take on the contest.. literally cool.. the lighting matched really good..

Fantastic idea author...This entry have big potential...IMHO u should remove this clouds and maybe add some mountain peaks with clouds...That way u will get better DOF...beside that image should have bit bigger height and part at the right side should be more whiter and less blueish...sorry for the nit picks but i think this can be great entry...any how i wish u best of luck

... suggest bring the skier more to the front, add more specks of snow flying out of the skiing parts

great choice combination to create this image

I read all your sugestions, and made some changes... maybe too much?
Thank you all!!!

i like your entry very much! it's wonderful
good luck author

I like this.. but I feel that the earlier one was better.. can you IM me the link to that?

cool author good luck

Thank you all for your comments!!!

Nice!!!...

great idea, good luck!

congrats...

Wow!!!!! I didn't expect this!!!!!
Thank you all!!!!!

IMHO you may want to smooth out the bottom jaw's tip (it's cut very hard, as are the tail tips) Blur and erase brushes may help to add to realism, SBS will help for higher votes... More help is surely on it's way

Very good job and good luck

Thank you, Drivenslush!

Why would there be drops of water on a fish underwater...???
(Blur sharp edges as said above).

It was deliberate, to show only the work removed from the original image, but your comment was very good, thank you, CMYK46!

It shouldn't be difficult to remove those drops.

The drops could just be fish warts. The lack of shadiing on the fish makes it seem overly flat. Also, the top and bottom (dorsal and anti-dorsal?) fins seem behind rather than connected to the fish.

very nice!

Thank you, DanLundberg and Derivatix !

congrats...

wow... alot of work for this image.... this creature is quite 'complex' already, suggest make the background simpler for better focus

nice work gl author..!!

Cool way you made the initial texture. Love the colors, just the head part would make a great mask.

Reminds me of Creature of the black lagoon.....is it?..... Good work... and good luck.

love it, lots of work
