I'd crop out the needless black bars at top & bottom of the source pic. Otherwise it's not a bad image, although on second look I'm not sure the image in the drop would be inverted.

I like the bubbles in the honey ... gl author

Congrats, oziipop! Lovely entry.

Congratulations.

Congrats!!

Where's the Sling Shot? hehehe.. inventive (need to fix the wing tip on the profile bird (NITPICK) ) good job and good luck

The birds need to be slightly repositioned on the rings, their feet are too far in front, making them look pasted in front of, rather than on the rings. Also, the "sparkle" brush highlights are bit too obvious, reducing the opacity slightly will make them seem more natural.

Nicely done. Add some shadows where the birds sit on the rings, Agree with Mossy on the sparkly brush.... GL

I agree with all the above...also, what material are the rings made from? The sparkle brushes indicate metal, but they have a wood like construction. The edges of the birds could have been softer, making them blend better and look natural in the setting.

Just a few minor things that might help. good luck

Congrats Chery, such cute little guysl!!

This is a good practice for rebuilding the background but you have to be more carefully.At the front backseat the texture is decaled and at the one behind it the texture seems "hurt". The dof makes difficult to modify them but pacience should solve it.Always try to fix errors zooming in more so when zoomed out they can't be seen. I wish you good luck and happy photoshoping

True, good job with the background rebuilding. But, a hint for your big bird...when transforming, hold down shift so it transforms proportionately. He looks a little squashed.

Good luck!
