I think this is really beautifull, but I think it is a little disturbing that the feathers fades out when getting close to her body. But all in all it is a very beautifull creation.

I didn't want them sharp in her back, she is dead so my thinking was that nothing really touches, the feathers are like her life coming out of her and surrounding her with comfort and ease does that make any sense???

This is really beautiful. Great idea, too.

Lovely image, excellent mood...you could have done better on the edges of the hair, but still a high vote from me...

the right side of the wings on the shoulder are in front of her, not on her. Great idea though and love the flow

the wings aren't 'on' her at all, they surround her

Fantastic blending, and a great overall image.

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats for your third place! It's really a lovely picture!

thanks guys

Congrats!

very nice... good luck (it has a very soft feel in both vision and texture)

I agree with GolemAura here, there's something very soothing about your image. Good luck!

Never seen an octopus foetus before...

thanks for your tough joke cmyk...! :P

the branches and flowers are too large

Flowers look a little big, also try removing some of that noise you get when brightening images. Good luck!

i have made the flowers and branches smaller....thank you elficho and ponti

Nice light, almost like a Vermeer. Nice color effect too. Good luck!

the buds still look too big in my opinion but good job!

very happy piece.. good luck

im missing shadows from the tree on the wall... to me it seems pretty bright outside... so that should of casted somewhat of a shade.. i think?

The colors are so beautiful! Very good job in lighten the picture up! Good luck

Beautiful work and idea! And you just found the perfect model for this. Aaaah... Great! Good luck!

Thank you so much for the excellent comments! But Golem Aura....I had higher expectations from her....! Lol....! From all the people in the world....she had to choose him.....!!!!!!! Oh well....everybody's got a better half, I guess!

amazing idea! and pulled off the final image very well indeed! awesome stuff here!!!

(Just the Hat.. not the guy.. LOL) hehehe

this entry would make me run away screaming f i was in this contest.

great one!

great thinking out of the box when using the source author.

Holy Merry-Go-Round Batman! She needs to be in the next movie!

amazing! really great work and very good use of the source image

not sure why it's been uploaded twice, but it's a great image, and i like the poster - look. Good luck!!

Good idea, but IMHO a bit filter heavy...

Poster is good. Filters aren't the devil!! One isn't so bad. I love the butterflies.

nice creation, i like the finish...

the model you have used is stunning, i think it would have been beautiful if you left her as she was instead of putting a filter over her... nice image though, goodluck.

I love the filters and love the outcome! Awesome job!

i originally did do the model without the filter, but since the zipper came from a brush set, i was having trouble making look realistic enough, so instead, i went the other way and made her less realistic to match the zip.

wow i likme this

i like this alot! loving the folds on the zipper too

i like the peel effect

Nice!!!

This is so cool....I love the butterfly effect.
