LOVE IT!! I really love the surrealism Looks great in high res too...Best of Luck

great ..........

dope man..

Fantastic work, great mood here and really original concept. Well done

This is a perfect entry with the source image.., well done.. good luck

Good job!

Great image except for the lens flare.

very nice work!

Wow, awesome idea!

Pretty well done. Tiny suggestion: I'm not sure if it's the blur or the lens flare, but the top of the tower seems to be a bit blurry/ has less contrast than under. Is it an idea to make the right side of the top of the tower somewhat darker & sharper (by masking away the lensflare from that side, on the left side it's ok), this way you may create more depth and it will stand out more against the background (I guess my eye gets older, but for some reason I thought that the towertop was part of the background, that's why). For the rest appealing result. Good luck!

Wow, now that's an imagination. I couldn't think of one thing to do in this contest. Well done. Just one question. Is the Hand running Late here? lol.

Bad masking on tree, bad perspective...branches wouldn't be behind the church.

thanks for the comment sir... perhaps i will go back and remask the tree, but i spent about 3 hours on just the tree already, there was a lot to get rid of as you can see from the source... also i have the branches going behind the church on purpose, kind of surreal that way.

agrees. You could have used a pre masked tree from deviant art or download mask pro

you could use the lightning effects to make the thunder more real

@Barnacle... LoL, pre-masked tree!? then how would i ever learn? @Rakib... what is unreal about the actual thunderbolt i found?

hey i'm not saying that your thunderbolt is so unreal.ok...but when a thunder hits any place the area get lightend

Image edited... remasked tree, and added a little extra oompf to the lightning bolt... figured i'd make it rain too... enjoy ;]

How would you learn ? Don't waste your time masking tree's. Like I said, get a pre masked tree or don't use a tree. You worked hard at this, I can tell, But if you spent your tree masking time on effects or some kinda surprise it would pay off better. Not being a smartass, honestly, I bet this comes last or second last.

what a jerk comment. I understand your point about masking a tree or not, but to say that i will be getting last or second to last was just uncalled for. thanks for the support douche.

Name calling ? lol

hey, that's how we 12yr olds roll ;] LoL!

looks pretty cool! i agree w/ cmyk on the branch though

Nice job for only being 12. Just remember author that not all constructive criticism is constructive.

LoL! i'm so not really 12, i was just responding to that guy's non-constructive criticism... thanks Jaw!

lol :P
