Great concept, you have only one major flaw - the hand. It is opposite the reflection, and is still too "baby" like in appearance, not a grown woman's hand.

You can probably find some stock image of a woman's left hand that you can insert into the image.

Other than that, nice work!

I agree with MossyB I was thinking the same when I looked at it before I saw comment Nice though

Reworked the hand. I, too, had a vague problem with the "chubby" hand, but you two defined it for me, thanks so much!

As for the position of the arm and hand, I don't understand your comment, MossyB - it is the other (right) arm, not the one (left) reflected in the mirror...

Thank you!

excellent work!!! and a LOT of it ... LOL

hand can be smaller a little, rather big now

simply like this image... great work!

Very Nice Work .... the idea is good
I guess that the edges of the waoman's hair is a little obvious ...
and the her chest must be a little smaller or a little rounder ...
but the rest is very very nice ....
I voted Good on this one

good work on this one, well done.

Wonderful concept and great work!

congrats!

Congrats!

excellent work author...well done

coooll image i like it . g l

cool.

good idea

nice idea and cool colors but demand more work...its always hard to separate trees,bushes and similar objects from background...use this tutorial as a guideline for masking a trees http://www.pxleyes.com/tutorial/photoshop/1272/How-To-Mask-A-Tree-In-3-Minutes.html...For your entry,bottom part of the bushes is to sharp,when u do things like this,u could use smudge tool after to add some curves branches and that kind of stuff..sorry for my nagging but i hope this is gonna help u in the future...best of luck

Hey Thanks erathion for info and thanks everyone else for coments

Well done. My favorite part is the look on the face of the girl on the left. She looking at the other girl as if to say, "Don't move. There's a huge bee on your shoulder" while girl 1 is blissfully unaware of the impending stingage. Great job. I'm looking forward to the SBS cause the edges are fantastic. The left eye of the girl with glasses looks like it's half closed. Not sure but it's the one point I see that looks a little unnatural.

Very nice work! In my opinion however, the skin and especially the grass looks very unnatural, i'm really no good at this type of thing so i wouldn;t know what to suggest, perhaps some different shades of green around the grass.

Thanks for the comments guys! Glad you like it =) The SBS will come during the day, I planned to finish it about now, but something came up, I really really have to go now.... Doesn't matter anyway if I lose a bit of reputation, just hope they don't expell it. =)

Oh, and about the grass and the skin.... Yeah, the skin really looks kinda... 'painted' in some parts, probably due to sharpening filters... I'll make sure I fix it.... =) However, I do like that the grass is blurred, kinda looks out of focus, and I really like the effect =) About the eye, hmmmm, it kinda does look half-closed.... Tho I didn't mess with her eyes, couldn't match any I found only with my mum's (the one without glasses)

the grass is surreal, its cool

Thanks all, I added the SBS. =)

An update.... I fixed the skin, and I did some touch-ups to the hair. =) Hope everyhting is OK now =)

You missed a lot of scratches that could have easily been fixed.

Wuuuuuuuuuut?! Where?! O.O I can't see what you mean.... I just can't see what you're aiming at? Have you looked at the SBS?

imo, there are still a number of areas that could be a lot better. the heads and hair on both ladies could be much better, in hi res you can see this...your mother, the one with glasses, her face needs some more work, her nose is not finished well........her arms also look like prosthetics, especially the left one, they lack definition.....imo

Hmmm, some parts could be better, but only if I used external sources for those parts, since they are to blurry. You must understand that the photo is not bigger than an average business card. I tried to do my best here, edges are much sharper, you must admit, but some things just can't be sharper. Besides, TBH, I think this is maybe the only entry which has cleaner outcome than the original. Most of others are just colouring and scratch-removing and simple usage of filters.... Some are even blurrier than the original.Considering the original, the outcome is great IMHO.

Ummmm....nice work on your entry, but your last comment wasnt true .....Other entries did come out cleaner and sharper.... besides that, you shouldnt be putting down other entries to try and make yours look better.

TBH, I see only 3-4 entries in this contests which are cleaner sharper than the original. Others are just colouring and scratch-removing. I'm sorry for maybe putting down the other entries, I was just pissed off by the fact that I spent hours manually making the edges sharp and clean and even using outside sources to bring up the detail on faces etc and then somebody says that it's scratchy and blurry etc. I mean, maybe it is, but compared to the starting photo it's much better. peace

great

Well i thought this should of made top 4 at least.....i have to say that the results are very dissapointing and just dont seem right.

just looks like filter works sorry...

very nice i like it

neat

cool
