Pretty cool chop. Must have been a pain in the butt to cut out that train.

Channel masks say the computer moron?! WOW will have to look that one up. I think this is a smack dab great entry on many levels. The technical is to my eyes very well done and I can see the shadow of hat on snow and it is correct. I also am taken with the colour palette, blue of course is cool and the icing on this well baked cake is that hat and arm....huh?! OUTTA place or what?!

Hi, have just tucked that link into my Angelica folder...thank you.

This was one of my faves. I thought you did a great job compositing this.

NIce, I like your idea. The axe looks too big and the shadows could be a little darker, but great effort.

I agree with what "thefinalcut" said, moreover, the image is too dark, and the light comes too much irregularly. It seems to see the scene behind a dirty glass. The concept is good, clear, and creepy; so I suppose that it could be improved a lot by a couple of retouches.

Thank you both for your feedbacks!
Made some changes, hope it looks better now

First of all you have a problem with shadows
If "sun" (light source) is behind the character fisherman shade is more sharp and girl is less sharp (more blur) .In your pic is reverse
Second I didn't see any source light direct to character so if "sun" is behind clouds this will softer the light so shadows didn't appear so sharp
And one more think ...try to change color of your clouds because you didn't have nothing red
Try this and your pic will be better
good luck!

IMO the worm and your size should be little bit same(or the worm can be bigger than you) and that look more convincing to the theme that's what i thought

Lose the lens flare, and give the man a proper shadow.

nice thinking

Nice... but why can you see a light through the bird's head?

ohhhhh... maybe red, or some other "evil" color. Kind of looks like he has a hole in his head right now.

Love your idea of the button, thimble and needle!

Good source find...very funny! (Just blur the shadow of the mouse trap & maybe lighten it a bit).

lmao nice thinking

thanks guys, I made the changes

Great artwork, I wanted to join the contest but when I saw your manip I thought it was impossible to make something better... good luck!!

thanks for the compliment Sofie73, I am very happy, but you're exaggerating. Your work is delicious, I really enjoy.

very very well done very nice

Oh, my... booty!

GREAT THINKING!!!!

I agree with both the above, a little tweak to the color or brightness of that hand would be right on time.

I've given the hand a bit more color. I didn't realize it would look so "whash out". Is it normal that colors don't look the same in the web as in photoshop? Or it just happens to me...?

Thank you so much for your comments!!

Looks better now, yes I have noticed colors not looking the same once uploaded myself.

Great image, very creative way to use the subject.

Thanks TwilightMuse!

Nice jewel anyway
