Nice idea, i think the hummingbird is a bit too big. Maybe add a backdrop. Good luck!

The black background makes the lily pop.

pretty

nice concept. like the lilly colour

great image author its just that the humming bird is a bit to big imo and it out does the flower which isnt good but i love the humming bird!

this is the kind of image that would look great as an OOB it would take the eye away from the empty background

Wow! Great use of source! I love entries like these!! Good luck

great entry! i love this image its very cool!

I think we have a winner !!!! ...grate job author

Wonderful creation I love the bird and I know it was hard work, but I had to look at your sbs to see where you put the source to use. Other than that wonderful image.

Thank you for comments, yes, it was a hard time to get the bird all together.

Very nice work.

this is what i call true art... very nice...

very artistic. love the blue hues and lighting in this creation. well done

my problem is: could you have made this with ANY other source? I think the answer is yes and therefor the use of the source is weak. If you've set the brush to scatter there wouldn't be that repetative pattern in the leaves. In other words: not my piece of cake

Sorry...

well done

Thanks for comments again.... Robvdn don't be sorry.... it is the way it is, the source image does not have many objects to work with. Could I have done this work using other sources? Yes! I could. But the main thing here is that I used the image source in part. As many of us do. I just got this idea, we are here to learn, to appreciate constructive and non-constructive commnents and suggestions.... It is like Art, some like Picasso...some don't.... I am happy with what I have done here at the contests, and again, thank all of you for critics and comments. Good luck to everyone!!!!

Author let me be clear: I wasn't judging your image, just the use of source. You are right about we're here to learn and we all have different tasts. If something like this would have been posted in a theme contest you would have gotten a complete different comment by me Just my personal view, hope you're not offended. Didn't mean to.

I like the way u made the tree :P really nice

Although the image is well done, I believe the use of source is very poor. This could have been made with anything and the source is not recognizable in any way. These type of entries belong in theme contests, not source contests.

Excellent! i love this one

Comments appreciated. Robvdn: Not offended at all. I just accept your comment. Solkee, I will pay attention to Theme contests in the future, you are right, I should have used more of the image source, although I did not have much to choose from it!

very nice

love the entry and the result but you could of done this with any source as far as i thought the original source needs to be vissible... its not in my opinion..

Congratulations on the top-three place!

Nice work, really nice work. keep doing your work, because o do it good see you later

Thank you Nikebot!!

very nice

Thank you Chakra

Omg.... 11th place.

Really nice feel to this. IMHO would be better if the bird was all one color, but still a good image.

I agree with CMYK, either change the colour of the flamingo head or the body, or even add some gradual feather brushes that slowly change colour into each other. That's just my opinion, it;s a very nice imaginative and atmospheric image either way, so good luck!

Love the paper texture..good luck on this author.. very different

his head is sooo big , he must be smart lol good one

I like this picture. Looks like a painting in some kind of way. Too bad the bird has two colors but that's just me. Gud Lawk

Mistical or....mutilated? XD

hold your votes, I'll do some colouring this evening. Thank for the comments so far!

cool this image has a nice feel to it

added some colour on the wings, hope you like it!

looks good, the wings are great! maaaaybe extend the orange part all the way to his body so his neck is not half orange half white but it it's not a big deal thought it might look better

Very nice image top job!

very soft feel; i like it
