It looks very nice.. i'd like to hear the sotry behind the image though. Good luck!!

the story is that she's freezing her rump off (hehehe.. great job author)

this is kind of eerie in a way-- I like it. She must have drowned and now watches from afar?

Nice blend and shadows. Great mood. I think I would have preferred this without the yellow beam.

Woahh! Someday i'll understand everything in your step by step guide . High marks from me!

ponti55, the step by step is overwhelming, but SO interesting... now I have to go lay down for a little bit so my brain can absorb the work LOL

ACK... beautiful image by the way LOL

Seems like a lot of work for something to be kinda bland! It's nice, but to put so much work into it, it's just not very eye catching to me. Good job and good luck.

good work!

The blending of the two images could be better, there are some dark shadowed areas where highlights on the water should be. Its also hard to see where the water stops and the rocks begin. If you would put some shadow lines and some foam lines where the waves hit the rocks, it would make a big difference.

this would be awesome without the balloons IMO

I the balloons! They add just the specials something to this scene Great work and good luck!

tis is a cool pic

very nice

very nice blue; I wish she didn't look like a sleep walker

How the heck did she get out on that stone without getting her dress wet??? heheheh.. very magical piece

good one!!! i like this.

lol she looks a lil lost lmao

Some perspective issues here, but in a surreal way this is nice.

I love all the blue! And it really looks great with the glowing lamp. Good luck

Thank you for the comments everyone

Looks nice!

Hey, it's the little mermaid in Coppenhagen!

no big whoop, but the rings on Saturn have issues.. but a very nice image over all

This is really nice

if those are some sort of hovering balls it's ok. but if those supposed to be planets they sholdn't be under the clouds.

I think the planets under the clouds is great, it gives a surreal feel to the image. Don't stop being creative like that. The blurry planet on the left is something else, keep it sharp like the rest of the image.

I disagree Inanis, Pst should be about being able to convey ideas and stimulate the viewer's imagination, take your own interpretation of what could be happening in the scene...etc..tnks guys suggestions taken, Sander it didn't seem right..tnx 4 the suggestion bro.nd Golem tnx will try...done tnx...

as i said, if those are not real planets or if you didn't aim for reality it is ok. but if you tried to do something realistic this isn't right.

Its a {surreal} scene... but cool no prob man, tnx for the suggestion.

Cool!

I'm really surprised that no one else pointed this out. Maybe you see something that I don't. But the light sorce and the lights on the planets to the left don't seem to match up at all. It seems that there are rays of light coming from the top left corner but the planet on the left has a light reflecting on its bottom right. And the planet to its right has light reflecting on its left side just under the angle that the beams should be hitting it. The atmospheric perspective is driving me crazy, too. The closest planet is the darkest planet, the small planet seems far but just as lit.

That being said, I really do like the image a lot. I think that over all you've done a nice job and I can see that you worked hard on it.

yeah its not the easiest tryna reconstruct an images whole light- especially this image where the reflexion is obvious, yet I don't hink the lighting is completely off, and for the close object the light is hitting the other side therefore the back is in shade.. tnx advice anyway bro..

Hey! It's Chick, not Bro!!

I like the surrealism. It's a theme that is difficult for some to grasp with all the different types of entries in these contests. This is visually interesting.
