is this lady gaga? lol... good job for this!

Mmmm spooky I like it GL

Nice work.

At first sight i tought you made the machine from the given source, but when i checked sources i noticed u did not. So thats a complement on finding the right source.

First i'd like to say that personally i'd like to see the given image to be chopped to be used a little more, but that is personally.

I got a few things that might ( in my eyes ) need changes.

I think the girl in white, still is too much white.
The light source on the girl comes from the left and right hand side,
while on the machine, looks like comes more from top and front side.

For the person in the back ( i do not think it adds much to the image, but that is personal again) might need a color layer on the top of the person.
Also for the shadow u might want to duplicate the layer and give both layers a mask, then blur or stretch the 2nd layer.

These are just my ideas of improvements, and you can ofcourse disagree.
See this as help only and not as, someone trying to see only the bad things.

The idea is to help you get the most out of it.

Good luck in the competition.

It may be my monitor, but I find it a bit too dark.

But from what I see you did a good job with your sources. Maybe a stain or two on the woman's white clothes may help to integrate her more in the image.

Very nice work author...great source find too...u made super cool composition here...best of luck

Thanks for the suggestions, but due to the holiday break I never had time to get back to this.

Great image,my friend....I like the concept and color. But IMO, the picture of the owl is less so in contrast with the color of its surroundings. So at first glance, people do not immediately recognize the existence of these owls. GL.

Thank you for your valuable feedback my dear friend.

I have updated the image!

Wow!! my fav!!!!! GL!

where is the owl?

@jawshoewhah: Thanks a ton for such a wonderful comments and fav.

@BAOREN: I removed the Owl as it was not too speaking to recognize its existence at first glance.

great job...Latex girl.....RUN....he is coming...well done author

Thank you Nebojsa

I LOVE IT!!!!! and I'm happy to give it my highest approving comment:


---WICKED-COOL!!!---


Not that you need it much but GL!

BTW, welcome to PXL!

Disturbing, but very creative! The jaw is too warped and the LH side of the "flames" is a bit too high contrast, fighting the image for dominance, but the overall concept is wonderful.

I'm glad that people like it, I don't No offence man, but there's just too much going on.
I get the skull breaking through her head skin, and the blood and the flames. But why do you need cigare smoke over the fire and 2 of the same rose on top?

Wow, that's a cool poem, and you did really well depicting its message!

Amazing.. fantastic work with the colours. Wow.

Very good scene, great blending and color balance!

BEAUTIFUL.........

Thank you all for the wonderful comments! And the favs ... I was not sure if this image would come across right.

Lovely ethereal quality! Fine work!

Spooky atmosphere and lovely pastel colors

Congrats for your second place, Arca!

Congrats, very beautiful piece

Congrats...

Congrats!! Lovely as always!

Good idea. The clowd perspective is wrong, it looks like they are going down and touch the surface. Also the skeleton is to bright on the viewers side, since you've got a very dark shadow on the surface, the skeleton's own shadow should be the same darkness. Nice bird creation! Gl

Thanks Ressiv, valid points! I`ve changed the whole sky to something more fitting and shaded the lower parts of the carcass a little more

Very dramatic and touching. I like it...

I like how you assembled the picture from parts of the original, it's an impressive work. The thing is that the colourfull sky creates a too strong of an entity that puts the foreground on second place, therefore nomatter how many details you place on the eagle and the carcase, the prime colours (sky) that take 40% of the picture will make those fade away,

You could either make the sky only 10-20% of the pic, or making the eagle and skeleton overlaping it, or.. using the sky in the original pic: the grey purple one.

Excellent work, I would only make the sun a tad brighter - just a thought.

Great transformation author...well done
