I think your shadow is a bit long, but you have done a great job on the water around the frog! Looks like its lunchtime! GL.

I think you're right, annimax. I'm shortening it now. Thanks.

Edit:Yes, and the turtle as well.

Edit II : Thanks IDt8er, I added a subtle set of ripples to the turtle. I didn't want to get carried away, though, because the water speed should be slower over the main body of water than the thin layer running over the spillway.

Looking good!!

Great job! xD

The ripples around the frog are amazing! Can you do it again with the turtle? His head would cause ripples in the flowing water, too.

cool pic!

good job! gl!

nice blending work!

I think I took too long to do the voting and it logged me out; now my comment is as a guest.

nice use of image

Even I remember this one!! Glad it made it back..

Wow is the first word i used after seeing the image. Keep it up!. The texture for the glider can be still adjested on its curves and shadows to get the light rusty metal effects. graffiti on the body is a gud idea and adds more value to the glider. Gud one. Very all the best.

Nice to meet them again

High marks on this one again...good to see it's return

Author, this is fabulous, especially this time around with the tweaks!

hmm what an entry high marks from my side...want to see it on top best of luck..

Awesome!

Awesome job on the image and how you created it.

hope this gets top 3 or 1st... (yes 1st is top 3, but its not 3rd...)

All I can say is wow! Awesome! Was this in a different contest before or do you make the character Winsor and use him in lots of different images?

awesome work as always

ZE ENTRY is back! the only thing i can complain about is that the green is a bit strong and takes the eyes from winsor and balthazar... otherwise this entry is AWESOME!

Unmistakable style, another first place.

I haven't seen this one on the old pxl, so I'm "first-time-excited" Author, the image is TERRIFIC!! (read that in the good meaning )
Great dynamic story behind it, packed with details, the image can keep viewer's interest for quite some time

Amazing work. Glad to see it back

Great work.

roflmao! This is superb!

Awesome

Congratulations for 1st, great pic.

Thank you all very much for your kind comments and votes. Very much appreciated!
@fille: The rival's first name is Ken, aka the (ex?) hubby from Barbie. As you understand, real beauty is from the inside out
@Maja: Just when Winsor is finally managing to keep the plane under control and about to organize a contra attack, the teacher asks him why on earth he's standing on the table in the class making so much noise
@k5683: Nope, Winsor is all and alone for this entry. For who wants to know, I chose the name Winsor after Winsor McCay, the great illustrator and animation pioneer from the begin 20th century

Again, thanks a lot!

Congraaaaaaaaaaaaaatulation!

deserved win! ...again

Go Winsor go... Congrats Waz, absolutely fantastic

congrats!

Congrats! - Awesome work

congrats.

Congrats!

F A N T A S T I C

cool

Hmm.. interesting.

love the eyes lol try drawing some very fine hairs around the cat to make it look a bit better, but other than that Excellent work!

nice job

Thats really funny. Great work. You might want to play with the colors of the cat a tiny bit and add some yellow (not much). Theres a lot of ambient yellow and orange light, so that will make it feel a little more together. Use selective color and pay most attention to the whites since they most directly reflect the ambient light of the room.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww cute kitty!

cute

aha what a comical thought... i'd be feeling sick if i was that cat and i was gonna have to eat through all that jelly to get to the fish...

the funny thing is.. I was going to tell you that you built it backwards until I saw your SBS.. what a weird little car.. hehehe.. good LUCK.. great skills and work

car is good, road need to improve

you have a nice perspective here...and great car...

very nice, but perspective is a ltlle bit off, rear wheel don't match front one, also something wrong is with back of the car, but I don't know what.... Maybe when you fix rear wheel everything will be ok Once again, great job!

great!!

like it!! like it!!

Don't know why you used the red & white parts for the seat, it's distracting and throws off the interior perspective. Boogeyman's right about fixing the rear wheel. The rest is very well done.

that is to cute. nice image author

cute little car )) I don't seem to get the shape of the shadow?

nice job

love it !!!!

Construction of the car is very nice...... background is a little distracting

verty good

Car looks good yes. I dont get exactly the critic for the wheels (although I also wrote that you fixed the rear wheel), as far as I can see it's just like as in your own image. But ok...What this image could give more dynamic is the use of background. The use of colors is one, but right now they're *just* diagonal, while if you'd give it some more perspective, following the perspective from the car itself, the whole image might look more logic for the eye and as said before even more dynamic.
EDIT: forgot to say Good luck!

Very creative use of source.

Excellent! Wonderfull! Well done! !!

Congrats, nice work

Congratulations for 1st, nice one

Congrats!

congrats well deserved win

Congratulations.

Congrats! Great transformation!

Congrats!
