very nice entry author...best of luck

Beautiful blue image, good luck

for info,i like it it good luck

Nice image, but a bit OTT (over the top) with the icicles under the eye and the frozen sweat runs on the forehead and cheeks. Also the long ice crystals along the bottom all seem to be pointing the same direction, making them look too much alike. But I think the edges are very nicely done!

@Nator Thanks for the suggestion , the plastic wrap lost a little too much detail in the eye but I have toned down the brush strokes and added a little more icey highlights, hope thats improved

Lovely.

This version rocks. Good luck!

lookin' good !

Nice effect! Really cool image! Good Luck!

great base photo,..the foundation!

I love the overall feel of the photo, great color and texturing!

Lovely ... has an almost sad quality to it.

Nice result, but without an SBS, it's hard to judge how much effort it took to achieve it.

I really like this piece. Don't care if you did it in 30 seconds or 3 hours, the final result is visually pleasing to my eye, no matter how much effort it did or did not take to achieve. Very skillful and well done.

I agree with MossyB! What's the difference how much effort it took if the end result is great?

i do like this
and its nice to see the stock photo you used to create it..
you didn't link your brushes though...could you maybe do so?

Thanks everyone for all the great comments!! I'm glad you asked Jadedink for the brushes because I had thanked the wrong person...lol....I had a lot of brushes to go through

I'm really happy with the final result of this image and so glad to know others feel the same way Thanks

I thought only simple brushes are allowded

Beautiful!
