Author, take a second look at the feet of the woman on the original, their position is wrong here, you twisted her feet...

very cute little birdie.....the color is cool...

Oh, that´s sweet...

wow! love the bird's expression!

Good-looking image, if you can the bird could do with being more in focus like the branch it is perched on, and i think you are missing a little part of the branch above the birds head.

waoo. its a cute one

Cute bird

cool, i like the effect of having some black some white, and some color

Very good job. Congratulations ....
But, look at the model's right arm..... It seems to be transparent.

Very good job. Congratulations
and i'm agree about what say .
very very sweet

like the mood, but agree about the arm, and the column is missing some pieces there as well

i do agree, the mood is nice...but... there also seems to be a halo of smudge around her head, and lower parts of her body. along with the transparent parts of the column. You've still got some time to fix it

Sorry but I think it looks bad. The blending between the different photos look to blurry especial between the woman/column and the background. The difference between the ground and the background colour looks strange too and the colours don't seem to affect the woman which they should be doing.

The 'halo' around her body looks like a sloppy masking. There are several other masking errors around the picture which can be seen around the background. Also her hips are party transparent, as well as the columns top.. and edges, which are pretty carelessly masked as well. Lose the transparency, clean the edges and dirty spots and this will make a nice image with a bit of handwork and colour corrections.

very well done!

Woman's image needs a better chop/masking, the edges are too blurry, and her right arm, besides seeming transparent, it's too thin, lacking a part. Try to fix it, and you'll have a nice entry.

thanks for these helpful comment

you made some changes! better job with the masking, but you need to update your sources, add the birds too

Nice atmospheric image, you just need to fix the column,the branches from the B.G. image are still visible in the top.

Be sure to credit the tutorial on the internet similar to this if you used it.

i like the idea.. very oxymoronic. as for the technical side of things, the sky is too dark (especially compared to the people), the guy facing front could use less saturation, the people need to be contracted by a few pixels (you can see white outlines on the ones in front cause of the dark sky) and i personally don't like the guy's glow.

um i love the image its very cool.... not another one like it in the contest, but, theres one thing that is just bugging me like that continuous gnat that just wont leave you alone on a hot summer's day, and that little thing is the brightness of the 'alone' man. you could either lower his brightness a tad bit or maybe even make it look great and add a spotlight

it is good idea,good luck
