The umbrella needs a little more blur to blend better on the background.

ok thanks

There should be a green cast on the phone...look at how the red in the glass colors the phone in the source pic.

When it comes to colorizing, it's obviously up to the colorer as to what gets colored. Nevertheless, I think it should all make some sort of sense. So I don't get why the umbrella shaft wasn't colored, especially when the umbrella's finial was. Also, the focus of the coloring seems to be the cocktail, so why not color the glass holding the cocktail?

ok thanks, im quite new to photoshop so im not that good with it but i will try to do these things. thanks for the help.

Hey Author,

I think what you are doing is perfect! Keep chopping and experimenting with differnt techniques....

I think the colors are wonderful!

thanks, i'm quite new to pxleyes and i have tweaked the photo a bit but i cant find anyway of uploading my tweaked version. if anyone could help it would be very appreciated.

cool!

cool idea

good 1, bt the television is looking a bit tilted IMO, good luck

Great idea and very nice work author...My advice is to create 2 color adjustment layers to achieve better blending...brown color layer and golden soft light layer could work...best of luck

Very cool!

Thanks everyone! I updated my entry.

Chromathoughts, I fixed the tv shadow so it wouldn't look tilted, hope this is better.

Erathion, thanks for the tip. I couldn't quite figure out the best color to use for blending. Think this works?

yup, looks much better now, gud luck !

Very beautiful image, author. But I think with all that lens flare, it's a tad difficult to see the girl... But it's IMO. GL...

EDIT: The idea is not your own.. you have to mention the reference...

sence a hint of sarcasm...

Are you !@#ing kidding me!!!!?!???!!! Of course the idea is not my own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost none of the illusions here are the authors own idea. As for your link to reference - you can find this image at hundreds of different locations on the net. Would you like me to refference all of them????? Find something better to do with your time...

Hey, author... he just tried to advice you... you don't need to answer that way! As you said, you can find the same image on different sites. So, you can quote the one you used for reference, that's it...
It's a nice work, with no doubt.

nice idea

well author you better read this..
What's a reference?
A reference is a photo (no artwork like drawings or paintings) which you use to create an entry. They can either be yours (if so you'll have to post it in the SBS) or a copyright free photo from sites like SXC and FLICKR (if so, you'll have to post a link).

How to use a reference?
A reference may be used to look and study how an object / animal / person and so on is constructed. To study the proportions, the materials (f.i. hair, cloth), to see how materials behave (f.i. how water flows and shines). In short, you may use a reference to look and study.

How not to use a reference?
You may not include a reference in any way in your entry as being a part of that entry (visible or not visble in the final entry). You can not use a reference to set certain features / elements like f.i. eyes, ears, nose and so on in your drawing, neither can you use a reference to trace the whole or a part of the original reference.

What references are allowed?
You are allowed to use non-copyrighted photos. It is not allowed to use copyrighted photos, artwork and so on.

What if you use a reference?
It's not a shame to use a reference, but if you do you, must post this reference, either as a link or, if the photo is yours, you must post this photo uncut in the SBS.

And author, I did not want to insult you... but your entry is an exact copy of that reference image.... and how can we vote for that... I am sorry if it hurts........

EDIT: I just wanted to tell you that you can post a link to the reference from an allowed site.

hereisanoop, all in this theme here are not original ideas and links are not to originals too. also you are not original with this post.. cheers!

awesome

You know I see where you are coming from but at the same time, this illusion is like an exact copy:

Honestly, probably not the best illusion to duplicate. At least some of the others came up with their own original idea and take on the illusion.

exact copy, thumbs up for Jawshoewhah I didn't understand what is fille trying to say..........

WOW THE LITTLE DOTS CHANGE... TRIPPYYYY I LOVE THIS ONE!!!
