Stunning image.. well thought out and beautifully put together.. good luck

Top pic!

besides the tree growing out of the rock, this is an awesome image!

How lovely! It makes me wanna sit there and just look at this scene for hours. Good luck

....also for your second place, Missy! Great work!

Congratulations for 2nd too, well done

Nice light & color!

perspective seems slightly off

You should flip the door or the window to make the same lightsource to both

Oops...ditto on the light sources...missed that one somehow, but it's an easy fix.

Reminds me of some South American houses with the bright colors. Argentina? Brazil?

Thanks mqtrf.Totally missed that. Done

looks just like a screen saver my co worker had at work.. only her's was pink... just beautiful!!!

when is a door not a door . . . . . when it's ajar. (is the light on the door from the left - and the flowers cast shadows to the right? Or is it just me . . . . . .?)

nice colour choice

nice

Looks GREAT!

you forgot to tweak the cow's shadow. i hope. and why would you flatten the image at the end?

Nice

the shadow from the doll is wrong and the shadow from the cow doesnt match the others, i like how you did the eyes on the statues and the idea is cool...

Merge layers? Flatten layers? Someone want to tell me the difference? I tried different ways to make that cows shadow. I did it and redid it. It was kicking my butt. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. There's one thing that I know I didn't try, but I'd forgotten how to do it and where I saw it before.

flattening the image IS merging all layers.. you should put the shadow layer below the cow layer, put some blur, play with blending options to see which one fits best. i don't see why you don't use the same technique you used with the other shadows

I didn't use the same technique with the cow as I did with the others because when I used the drop shadow on the cow it affected the others. I know that there's a way to stop that from happening, but I couldn't figure it out. I need to redo the whole cow because I accidently put the cow and the shadow in the same layer. Thanks a lot ELFICHO for the tips. I will try them out. Thanks to Eladine for pointing out the problem with the doll's shadow. I think that I had it right at first. I know what to do. Thanks everyone for the comments. They're appreciated.

Please take a closer look now! I have fixed my cow shadow and the doll's shadow! Thanks to everyone for your feedback!

Cool :*)

he he

Woah! Great use of source!!

Lovely!

I think you achieved an artistic result! nice job

cool

it is somewhat artsy

Mike is super.Blue cloth seems to be silk and look too cold comparing to the warm wood of Mike. And please dont laugh cause an amateur like me dare to make critics on your entries, LOL. good luck.

beautiful

load of wrk can be seen here................nicely done..........gl.

Very nice use of source, the reflection looks a little too saturated, so maybe pull the colours back a little bit, other than that.. great job!!

Good change, the reflection was just a bit distracting.. looks good now!

lol the title says it all! lol

Very nice work. I think the bright blue vignette is detracting from your final result. Anyone else agree?

awesome...

rcscruff is onto something.........vignette is a bit strong. Try fading gently from one color to the other. That wil help focus the eye into the center of your work. I love the colors used....good luck.

Congrats for your second place, Ernest!

congrats

Congratulations for 2nd

Congrats!
