Very nice... just about the hand. I don't think there would be a shadow in mid air like that and where the hand is "coming out" the edges are very sharp, you might consider using some clouds or something? Good luck

very nice idea. If the hand is coming from water, will be better. GL

cool

This is really cool but the roughly chopped hand just isn;t doing it for me, i'd just move the entire image to the left, also i would add a proper image of a sky. Good luck, i won't place my vote yet because i really hope you'll fix the hand.

nice job..

very surreal

Hand shadow doesn't work, but the reflection is good...not sure about the fairy dust...

As usual, I'm clueless about what this is supposed to mean even with the hint of the title. The fact that the hand and forearm seem to be parallel to the background is disconcerting when that intrusion does not seem to have distorted that flat background (as opposed to bursting out of the background into the viewer's face).

very nice

I remember this one! I really like this, author! I think the surrealism is intriguing. I enjoy the bending of logic. To me this reads like a book. The reality is the hand poking thru the backdrop of water...yet holding onto things that only exist in fairy tales. (hence the fairy dust etc.) The exaggerated cathedral adds the almost quirky illustration look. Don't mean to read 'too much' into this...but I like it a lot. My only suggestion is less of the 'rendered cloud filter' look. Perhaps blurring this more.

cool illustration of the impossible

nice

beautiful! love the reflection!

very creative work goodluck.

Congrats for 1st

Congratulations!!!!

Congrats! Loved this entry!

congrats!!

Excellent work...very creative...very beautifully rendered. Thanks for the vision!

the reflection of the moon is on the wrong side

Aside from agreeing with Brandon, too much of the base of the building is obscured, and it looks too close to the edge of the cliff. The mood and color are very good.

like the moon

very nice color scheme and mood

Congratulations for 2nd

Congratulation!

i love the idea!!

Cheers!

now we know what happens when a fairy's purse throws up... LOL.. happy happy joy image LOL

You and your fairies GolemAura xD There's no stopping you :p

Now this is pretty cool. really well done, the water could use a little work though, its the only thing on this image that is not working aswell.

Thank you Ory! What did you have in mind? should i remove the water altogether?

hmm maybe darkening the water a bit? whatever works best but, what you should change are the trees. they are all green, including the trunks. also mask the bottom of the trees a bit so they'll blend in better

Pretty ok result, it would be nice if you could reduce that border around the cliff top. If you'd reduce the image size of the HiRes the quality might get better (or to say it differently, the cliff would look less pixelated). Good luck!

neat

Thanks everyone

beautiful setting

thanks

Some darker accents in the trees might be good, but I like the idea.

Thanks!

nice image, only thing that gets my eye is the trees, they look like paint splashes rather than trees. but still a cool image

Yeah, sorry about that i'm not good at painting :P Thanks for the comment though

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats for your third place!

Congrats!

Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations!!!!

Thank you

congrats!!

Thanks everyone

good entry

I like the idea. Work the blending between the castle and the rock and I think you'll have a very nice peice.

Great looking image!

The fuzzy edges of the rocks on the right should be hard like the left side. Over all I like it.

awesome

pingenvy thanks for nitpick, fuzzy edge on the right correct.

the contrast doesnt match with the sources

This would be great if you made a bridge from the land at left to the cathedral. That would really make sense. As it is, how did the cathedral get there? If you want to make a realistic image, think it through!

nice... my only suggestion(s) would be to colorize the house using a hue and saturation adjustment layer, colorizing it, bringing down the saturation a bit, so its a greyish brown, since there arent any green lights, and make the opacity 90% (hue and saturation) also, darken up the siloeut on the left... get rid of the lighting, it wouldnt show through with light blairing behind it.

Congratulations!!!!

Good job obscuring the original light source on the building, but if it's abandoned, why is there a light inside?

Wow... you are anal! Who knows why there is a light on?!?! Maybe everyone abandoned the place and forgot to turn of the lights... It's amazing how long these "energy saving" light bulbs last these days!

Nice work, author! Really nice lighting and effects.

LOL...I'll be even more anal: If you want to have the light on in the building, you'd be better off without the phony looking light beam.

for some reason, this image appeals to me greatly

wow i think it is great

good

Congratulations!!!!
