KERPOW!!! Simply Awesome! You might want to check the opacity on the first fire vase, the background is shining through. I think you were playing with the opacity of the flame and the vase part was in the layer. Unless that was the intention. Also, a very light blurry drop shadow might give both fire vases a little more grounding in the image. They are a bit floaty, but again, that might be the intention. It's terrific no matter what, Instant fav! The leaf and petal build is just brilliant! Very Van Goghy! WOOT!

Thanks for your comments. Have to brush up on all the techniques again.

You're so sweet!!!

Beautiful arrangement of sunflowers. You did a good job...

Great job. I love the details of the sbs as well. Only critique would be the bottom left flower seams to have a shadow layer that might of got moved and has a harsh edge. Good luck!

Lots of liquify work. Nice arrangement of flowers.

Lovely work, welcome back...

Nice work, It needs more dynamic lighting.. may be painting white color in overlay mode with low opacity soft rounded brush will work..( On the red light), play around and look for the better result.. Good luck author.

Looks like "Cartman."

A nice, fun entry!
However there is a slight problem with your source for the zipper, it's not a photo it's an illustration. Rules do state: 5.7. 3D Renders or Illustrations as Source:
Using other people's 3D renders or illustrations (even with permission and no matter in which form they are offered) creates a false impression of your artwork. So 3D renders or illustrations can not be used as sources, unless they are entirely created by yourself...
You need to replace that source in your image with an acceptable photo source. There are many available just check the image carefully to be sure it's not an illustration.
I'll ask the contest mod to give you some time to make the correction before sending a warning.
Good Luck!

Changed, thank you!

That is true author, this zipper looks better than the other one. Good work ! I like the changes to the image.

Nice work. I would like to add some motion blur to wheel.

Excellent!

love the changes. fun image. great use of the source.
