Weird and freaky... in a good way! Nice Work g/l

Well done, but why isn't he holding the umbrella? Might have been more effective if he was holding it and acid rain had eaten a few holes in it...still, nice image.

The idea is that he let go of the umbrella to strech his hands towards the sun beam that breaks through the clouds

Nit picky, but it looks like a couple of masking relics exist, one at the edge of the umbrella, and one on the upper hand. I do like the image, though.

Creepy, but nice composition. Great job

I have a problem with shadows going different directions, but love the idea and composition.

it doesnt look like his hands are stretching towards the sun...it looks like he dropped the umbrella and doesnt realize he dropped it

You did a very good blending job! I would have thought, that the background is just one image. And I really like your choice of colours. Good luck!

I think I'd be thinking about a shirt before I would a gas mask. If his arms were coming down, it might look like he dropped it, but I agree with RickLaMesa's comment and CMYK had a good point too

nice mood

Looks nice but not much of the source used.

Congrats for your first place, Ingvild!

Congratulations for 1st, great

Congrats!

Congrats!!

great!!

Really lovely!

I love the lights in the background and you did a great job.

It's definately a sensation, when you sing, while you wear such a dress! Very good job! Good luck

Very nice

Congrats for your second place!

Congratulations for 2nd

Congrats!

congrats

Congrats!!

very cool

Kinda funny, but pretty sad use of source...

awesome work....beautiful effects

I love the lighting effect.. good luck

Final image is cute...but agree that source usage is kinda minimal.

hmmm

Glückwunsch zum 3. Platz!

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats!

Congrats!!

nice job

Where's the source? That little sliver of ocean? (Shadow of gull in upper left is wrong...).

What do you mean where is the source? The whole beach is there, except the umbrellas and the chairs are missing, you are amazing.. where is the source..

Nice clone job. I love seaguls.

I see...you cloned out the umbrellas...I thought you just used the beach from the other source at first. That was good work. The shadow is still wrong.

You know what KMYK46, before you comment or even ask a silly question you should open your eyes first, especially when someone puts a lot of work into a chop. And if you want to leave a comment that helps, tell what and how is wrong if you are that good, instead of giving clues about a shadow that is wrong. Take it as a friendly advice

Very good job in recovering the beach! Looks so much better now Good luck!

Usually i have a comment on the picture i think is the best in a contest. Usually this picture dont win. Sorry, this is the best picture in this contest.

ZING

Strings should be tight if they're holding up 2 boys and a bike...

It is cartoonish and not reality so maybe the clouds are actually holding them up!

Cute idea... nice job with the balloons! g/l

Really sweet!

who would like me to make the strings straight? If I get enough comments stating so, I will do it.

This is a really sweet image! I too think it would have been better with straight strings, though.

I was going to make the strings straight but I ran out of time.

Its fantasy CMYK....strings can be loose.....nice entry
