Author, image is too small; upload it in hi res, please...

hmmmmmmmmmmm....strange

Sorry too small a high res to see good detail. Upload high res in future and it will seriously help your score. No high res? Then find one that is. Images that are of low quality are a bad choice to chop. Try to keep them at least 1000 px wide.

Author, next time click on the sxc.hu image and download the high resolution image. Joining the site is free and you can download as many images as you want.

lol, what a great idea = )

Thanks Emik!

It's very well executed, I like the fire effects.

lol coolness

Thank you erikuri and Tuckinator. Your comments are very encouraging.

Super idea, sky is a little on the empty side you may want to take a look at this will give you a more convincing effect.

Thanks for the tip, Warlock. I'll do that.

Very nice idea and good work author...best of luck

Very cool and great sbs.

Thanks erathion and JPDesigns! Appreciate it.

Try to work on the selections around the trees, they're very soft.

Nice try as far as the concept is considered... Although, giving some ripple effect around the splashes that you've made in the water might give it a bit of life. And IMO, you can show some different watery creature instead of the shark. You won't see a shark in such shallow waters, isn't it?

Thanks Matteo and ktn185 , i worked a bit on the trees and i added the ripple , hope its better and ktn185, this contest isn't about realism, so putting a shark is better IMO

Awesome!

Its a good idea but you should work on the colors, selections and fitting together. Overall its ok.

Cool...gl author

i think id like it without the shark

the shark is funny XD

you would used a real whale...imo...good luck
