very nice blend of well chosen images -- great job

Kinda looks like he's stopping off for a pooping.. Not a bad thing if that was your goal... I really like it, but that's what I see... if you placed a Flush Pull coming down from the dead space on the right, it would really up it to hysterical.. sorry.. just what I see in this image.. very hard work here.. but the humor is where my eye goes

(Death kinda looks like he's waiting for his turn at the pot.. a toilet roll floating in space would send it over the top)

(oh lord I'm going to rot in hell)

wow very nice one!

Congrats Rob love this one

Congratulations Rob...nice eerie image.

I have preceded the time and waiting for it to catch up with me, this is my general theory of relativity, an outstanding work, congratulations on the first place

Wonderful job..i love the feel of this..the detail in the hi res is great..GL author

Well look at you! hehehe.. great job with this contest

This is a really beautiful composition! Not sure how you used some of your links you posted. I don't see them being used in your SBS. This isn't a problem...I was just curious. Really fantastic final result, author! Really like the shadow casted from the figure and the way you changed the coloring.

Nice work. I like the composition and the use of the texture.

dont know ho you used the rope but its a very nice entry thnx for sharing

The rope is tied up to the big pedal.

Nice Concept and Also liked the why you have explained it in SBS .. GL Author

Congrats for second Akassa.

Very nice image. It all blends well and the colors look great.

Hey thanks TwilightMuse! ,I appreciate it

Wonderful work!! The highlights the levels and the shadows are perfectly balanced Gr8 work..
It would have been even better if the clock had more contrast.. But still this is very well done GL Author

Thank u very much Adityagrao !..

very nice -- like the choice of the old woman

Thanks Alan!..
I just love her face expression..

Excellent source pics used to make a really nice composition. Great job, author!

Thanks pixelkid!!

Thanks Nator!..

Congrats for third.....! Nice image.

Very nice job author..the clock inside the 'bubble', is great..GL

This is a good image. Do fourth places deserve a congratulation? If they are good like yours...of course they do. I just want to tell you.... Congratulations on a good job!

Not bad. Might have more depth if the background values differed from the foreground.

nice idea and well done -- the edge of the watch could use a touch up -- maybe a bit of burr to remove the pixelation

ok, those are good suggestions i will probably edit this entry soon,

what i was most concerned about was context for the branch, any ideas on how to make it seem more natural?

Nice job, author. Notice how bright the wood branch is to the right of the 'clock'...maybe try and brighten the clock right next to that bright spot with a soft edge and follow through that highlight area.

UPDATE: i took most of the suggestions, changed the background color for some depth and added more lighting effects and edge blurs for added realism and consistency,

thanks for the help

Much better image now, IMO...good luck!

Nice work on the clock. It would be nice if the little pointer was not cut off, but extended a little above the rest.
