Too much blur. Having just the eyes and the far background in focus hurts this image more than helps it, especially along the edges in front of the ears, where it looks too contrived and poorly extracted on the RH side.

Thank Mossyb, already patched the ears had not seen it, but I do not think I'll change the image!

Try to clean up the ragged edges on the eyes.

very realistic work author
i like it
amazing man
good luck
fav for you

Great blend and coloring!

The ears seem copy pasted to me. You should get s a fur brush a carefully blend the ears on the lion's head, also it needs some color changing :P yellow lions with gray ears? >.

This would look much better if the ears at least matched the lions in color, if not texture, which you can do through Image>Adjustments>Hue and Saturation.

It's a cute idea, but the somewhat lacking execution keeps it from being as strong an image as it could be.

Color matching the ears would make this a much better entry.

good idea author.. bt try to color match the ears for a better result.

The ears are all too identical, and the color is too pink for the lions.

Smooth blend, but the white markings on the ears clearly show that it's just one ear, duplicated 3 times and flipped. You should put a little more effort into this, and clone out completely, or at least vary the white mark on the ears, so that they look different, and not all the same.

I really enjoy this chop.. a high res to see the detail would be cool.. but I understand your thoughts.. (fun chop)

It still looks like one ear, duplicated 3 times, with 2 of them flipped. The "cookie cutter" effect weakens the image. You could use the Liquify Tool to vary them a little...

I think a better title would be, "Ears looking at you, kid..." LOL!
Very weird but well done!

Ear Lobe work could blend better on the cheek face in the middle of the image (a simple soft brush erase would fix it instantly... good idea.. creepy as hell LOL.. good luck!!
