Anyway, I like the way you overlayed the map and highlighted the leaves in the photo as islands.
I hope the little beetle finds his way to his destination.

YIPPEE!!! Super fun use of filters.. great blending.. GOOD LUCK!!

Great use of glowing edges effects. I like the artistic ghostly feel. It is a bit spooky in a good way.

I know I'm hungry now.

Very nicely blended photos.
This old bird is not hungry for grub stew today though.

(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Watch out boy
She'll chew you up
She's a maneater

Thanks for putting that song in my head. ;D

This made me smile. It is amusing to think of make up brushes watching the people who use them.
One suggestion I have for improvement is to add some the neck of the model and blend it into the brush handle so it doesn't look like the handle is stuck on his chin. I think it would look better with the brush handle blended into the neck.
Keep up the great work.

Both versions are very creative but I think they look a bit confusing combined as one entry because of the different perspectives and the very obvious dividing line between them.
I would keep them separate myself but the final decision is yours.

Interesting idea. The shadows need work, and the trees would have shadows too.

Hoops...

It's a novel idea to take a pet spider for a walk through a desert.
One suggestion for improvement is to add some perspective to the arid ground.
