some strange perspective issues author.. and where is the running water going???.. hehehe.. It's a very pretty image.. but you have to think of the angles or it confuses the eye.. the swing is sitting still yet we can see the bottom when it shoud be in line with the horizon.. stuff like that.. it's a beautiful image.. just got to polish it a bit (such a gorgeous image!!!)

The overall image is magnificent but i i don;t think the colour of the swing matches the rest of the image. Good luck!

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. @Golem, an old rope swing will often hang at this angle when not in use. As for the running water it's an underground spring, afterall this is a magical place.

Very nice work on constructing the car --- over look is very nice as well with nicely blended imges

ohhhh so romantic love it ohhh and nice work

Amazng and lovely manipulation! So sweet Really great idea!

Really nice image with all elements together, but there are two different light sources...maybe darken the right side of car a bit.

this great!!! I love it!

very well done.. good luck

Oh damn awesome!!!

dont like coca cola, dont like adverts - any way good chop

I looked at this image so many times and I couldnt come up with anything good. What you did is excellent. WOW.

Very cool & well constructed!. My good friend drives a coke truck (only with 18 wheels). He would really appreciate this one.
edit:

oooo....didn't even think about the
copyright.

While yes its well done and a nice image.. No one concerned about trademark infringement? You know - the right to use anothers logo without permission?? Regardless of the source.. Very sorry author - nice work too.

very nice work

but isn't the logo copyright?

Really great job

nice work! love the billboard, too.

coke is such a huge brand the red just stands out anywhere.

Because the logo is simply "Coca-Cola". There is no proof as to who originally wrote it, but master Penman Louis Madarasz (my compatriot) was said to have told one of his students that the work was his. When the work was created, Madarasz had a mail-order business and could easily have done it, and the writing style is similar to his. In the book "An Elegant Hand" by William E Henning, it states that Frank Mason Robinson, who was the bookkeeper of the firm originated the name Coca-Cola and specified that it be written in Spencerian script. In a 1914 court case, Robinson testified that he was "practically the originator" and that "some engraver here by the name of Frank Ridge was brought into it". Thus the logo itself has no currently COPYRIGHTABLE authorship and its exact creator is unknown.

love the paint job!!

Very cute

I think the author is correct. This may further clarify the point.>>>http://books.google.com/books?id=fRY4QBpLFGQC&pg=PT380&lpg=PT380&dq=is+the+coca-cola+logo+public+domain%3F&source=bl&ots=o8T8MWXrrV&sig=6p-I1-04tqdJpM6aiegSNHZa0b0&hl=en&ei=dalWSoR8h54w4v65nQg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7 (page 374)

Author: I am no expert on the matter and I was not referring to copyright at all. I was asking about the potential trademark infringement. The second point in Pinenvys link.. If you copy all or part of an existing trademark in a products name or packaging. [Also from Wikipedia: Trademark: A trademark is a type of intellectual property, and typically a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these elements. The owner of a registered trademark may commence legal proceedings for trademark infringement to prevent unauthorized use of that trademark.

I dont have a clue if its allowable or not - my guess is that contest mod has checked it out or at least discussed the matter with the moderator team. The entry is still here - so I take that as their decision.. GL.

For me the PS game entertainment. Would not be needed this break.We are friends not enemies.Draw ,create, playing, criticize, building .To moderate the moderator.I do not vend hotchpotch coke under a name .
I don't think so that this would cause a bigger joy for the coke.

With a philanthropic greeting.

As I said previously - I like the work.. I would almost get all the permissions from all sources and maybe send it to Coke, see what they think? They might even use it in an add?

Congrats! Well done!

Congratulations for 2nd, really great pic.

Congrats!

congrats!

Thank you very much for all

Congrats!!

Awesome!

nice!

intellegent work.......GL

looks really good, just clean up the bottom left part of the vehicle. i see some artifacts

Good eye, elficho! They're gone now.

OH MY.. vroom vroom vroom.. fun fuN fUN FUN.... zooooooooooooom

I like this but I think the shadow looks kinda funny. Not sure why. Also, a sweet ride like that would certainly have matching hubcaps.

Chaplain, I studied the shadows some more & I think they were too short for the light source, so I changed them a bit. As for the wheel rims, you just cant see the matching center because the tires are so wide(about 18"), and the center is sunken way in.
Edit: I went back to step 12 & re-worked some things that I wasn't happy with. But I'm done now....really.

super cool

Cool image very nice work!!

very nice work

very nice work

i want one !!! very nice change good luck!

Nice job, but the shadow is too big, look at your source and if you look at the original also wrong direction, look at the walls

Good Luck

awesomeness

Congrats! Well done!

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats!

Thanks!

Congrats!

Congrats!!

nice work. Background is look like a single plane( floor and wall not seperating). otherwise a nice job

gopankarichal in a studio you use a roundwall to avoid the border from floor and wall

nice imagination......

nice

right out of one of those hot rod mags... woo HOO.. zoomer

Good one, nice work

wowzers

very nice

I like what oyu've done author. May I suggest that you shorten the width of the rear wheel? That is, to be in perspective it would be slightly shorter from front to back than the front one. Cloned as it is, it appears to me to be on a different vertical plane, curving off to the right.

Nice job Author......G/L.

well blended!

Love what you've done with the truck!

like the ideea

like the camo

great job on the cammo

really nice image. I like this one alot

Very nicely done!

nice

good work

Good idea, but looks too clean...add some rust & grunge...

Nice blending!
