The vines need a drop shadow.......good work though

try to keep the henna on the doll's face. it jumps out her right cheek and erase it from the hair and maybe ear

very nice

gl! wonderful work

i think the nose sould go more to the left of her face

Not much use of the source...this could have been done without it...

I agree with elficho, i think shading is also needed here. Good luck!

nice image

It's ok but there is some problem with the nose.

Don't get me wrong...! I love the way it looks....I think it's a very good composition! But I'll have to agree with the rest about minimal usage of source! Best of luck!

ha ha ha how cute

Nice job!! You did the best you could, I know, but the eyes are quite pixelated. But of course you knew that. Still, at low res it works just fine.

quite a beautiful image.. good luck!!!

Thanks Maddam Monty, Solaris, Golem and CMYK.......yes, the source pic of Hilleke was low res and this was best result i could get.

Lol... it's look that lil apple baby got an booger... or a running nose to be precise...

Bravo and Right On Theme.. Great work author.. good luck ( I really like all the drippy gooey liquidy stuff... makes you want to get a paper towel and wipe it all down) (kids.. always leaky)

nice

Oh, my! Author, I can't find words for how much it makes me go "ahhhh..." and "ohhhh..." Nice work.

very nice

I like the choice of face. Fits the wet apple beautifully. Darken the nostrils a bit with a neutral ish shadow and it'll rock!

EDIT: Love it!

very impressive ... good work author

Thanks pixelkid, darken nostrills.

good shadows, looks almost real

Excellent technique...! Very good entry! Love it! Best of luck!

congrats!

Congrats for your being top 7 with this one! It is soooo cute

sad lil apple but well done congrats!

OMG.. baby is super CUTE... don't even care about the work.. too busy staring at the cute baby (very nice by the way.. but the babe steals the whole show) good luck author (he looks super Italian LOL)

nice

cool

I think you should work on your selection of the baby, use a sharper brush for masking or feather it less. Good luck!

cool baby

hahaha.... nice
