Cool

Nice....

Where's the source?

wheres the source??

great idea and shadow cast, my only observation is that the environment has much too straighter and rigid lines...

nice image choices, but it doesn't really have the pop-up feel to it. well, except for the clouds

agrees with elficho

agrees with elficho

get a brain....... and be constructive... how did either of you help me?

Now this is a perfect example of a realistic looking pop up book! - an example to everyone that went the wrong direction with this theme. EXCELLENT! you have made me a very happy person indeed! my only criticism is you can see the repetative use of the clone tool on the left hand side on the bg trees... fix that and it's well on the way IMHO.

ok i will fix that when i will wake up , its 4 am here XP

LOL James, relax, dont do it. Nice job author

Doesn't show much dimension, but certainly on theme... Bottom part of tree fold should show a triangular upward element corresponding to the top of the tree.

simple looking image, but absolutely perfect in this contest............ well done, you have my vote

great job!!!

FINALLY!!!!! An entry on theme! I think your dimentions are well done. GL!

perfectly on theme, but you should adjust some details: the pop up shadows are too big - and creates a flying effect to pop-up. then you have to pay more attention on the tree masking on the upper side. good luck!

Good work!

ok i fixed the clone tool effect , thank you all for the suggestions

thats better GL

Beautiful job......G/L Author.

thank you for the comments! Now I have a sbs too...

GoOD wORK!

good work. on theme entry.very nice . GL

im surprised that this didnt make the top 3

Why what? It's a nicely done image, but I don't get the relevance of the title. The shadows of the boy & toy should rotate about 5 degrees counterclockwise.

very nice blend of sources, and excellent shadows. Great job!

I would adjust the shadows on the kid and car. Only noticable in high res but they kind of seem like the are floating. The books are a better match as far as correct shadow. I was confused by the title too. Perhaps you could include that in your description.

EDIT: It appears like you made the shadow adjustment. I didn't mention before but you did go a good job on the perception and felt I must give you props.

So far my favorite in this contest. The use of a vanishing point is outstanding. Few things are more satisfying than finding a nice quiet place to read, play with a car, or just be alone. I really like the feel of this peice.

very nice g.l

Very good work

the doorway is off center

Thanks for the contructive comments. Yes I did adjust the shadows per CMYK46 about 2.5 degrees & tried to clarify the title. I also adjusted the shadow under the car(thanks jawshoewhaw) and trimmed the edges of the shadow because it had a bit of a curve to it. RickLaMesa, The source window was off center too. I just put the door where the window was, lol.

looks real nice...gl

nice blending of sources author... well done...

Nice work.

Personally I think it quite good, nice image and well done

I like this, great work
