Whoa , at first look I thought you were referring to the girl as your cow, -- lol

lol

Author, please read the contest rules - What is the smurf's occupation and smurf name?

I like the cows's eyes!!

I agree with Minnie ... cow's eyes are super!

wa great..!!

tanq manofgod..,

Gee whiz author, where did those comments go?

ahhhh...this baby's look so spooky...fresco filter fits very nice with the spooky mood...GL author

Some craquleque filter with, displacement or warp would creep this more

wasn't going for creepy, more spooky thanks greymval

LOL, dialed in the wild child! Those eyes are definitely spooky, dark blue monotone coloring fits.

It looks ok, except that :
1. At the beginning of the river, the water should be flat, not following the form of the book.
2. Since you have a path, that croses the river, you could add a bridge over it, too.
3. You could also try to keep edges to the pages so that the grass is not entirely covering them.
4. The original tutorial is this :

Very nice work author...In high resolution river don't look good at all,it look like some mix of green white mess...so maybe would be better without...also u could use some color adjustment layers to achieve better blending and to pop u entry...if u decide to do that PM me to give u some advices about that...any how image is very nice...gl

Thanks erathion for your kind help. May it looks better now.

Author I agree that is a good tutorial Very nice work and Best of Luck

I think it`s too dark, can be great if you put more light on it !

Too dark, you can barely see the monochrome background at all, although it does provide a good contrast for the cow.

Agree, too dark. Is hard to see the job this way.

sorry,I'm forgot if my LCD is too bright....heee...

Much better now, you have my vote

I agree with lolu, much better. You should add a high res too, always helps.

Thankssss....

LOL..that looks like a horse or Unicorn to me!

Thank you for lightening it. Now it's too brown in comparison to the cow. As a sepia effect, like an old photograph, the cow should be slightly tinted, too. This way, is just looks like monochrome with a desaturated white cow image pasted on top.

lol, never seen a haunted cow.

nice work and good idea...gl

That describes the volcanic disaster...

Haunted cows? Interesting idea.... you did a good job......good luck
