LOL...especially love the facial expression!

disturbing lol. He must have really blasted that ball for his whole body to fall apart lol. Either that or the ball blasted him. Great Idea author, good luck!

Will wait for SBS...

nice photoshop art... good luck

cool! gl

Yikes... it's very good .. but maybe a little pull back on the brush work... it's a wonderful effect.. but the subject is a bit buried.. but that could be me.. GOOD LUCK. .the color choice are very nice

workin on sbs cmyk. Please view in hi res because it really makes a difference

I'm not impressed... sorry! Just some brushes, warp and a lensflare? That don't impress me much...

can we have the links for the brushes? I like this kind of image even though some would say it doesnt include much talent just to put brushes together. still looks nice and isnt that what most people jusdge images by? good luck

I have to agree with Rob...

as far as im concerned, you still need talent to use brushes... i have trouble with them and avoid at all costs lol. I think the image is very nice and you can tell it did in fact take you some time. Goodluck author

I think this is really good, great effect.

Hi robvdn, There is no problem using brushes, it is just like tools in photoshop, how interestingly and cleverly you are using it, that is more important. If you are totally depending on brushes and filters the aesthetic value of the design will lose. But here author used his imagination and used the brushes. I am not seeing any problem in that.

I like the way it looks very musical. Lots of movement from an otherwise static image. Good job!

Very pretty not sure if the lens flare works tho Good Luck

A bit busy, but I like it.

I find this a little too busy design wise, image on top of image, on top of image. Maybe a bit over worked.

very nice

Beautiful brush work...makes a grat poster GL

very interesting. Good luck

You did a link to your DA account... now your image is going to be removed... unless you removed that from your comment...

annabat can you remove your comment too?

I really, really liked this image.. shame it didn't make it nearer to the top.. ahh well better luck next time, but this is definatley the best on in this competition in my opinion.
