(one very minor thing though, in high res , there are still some white lines surrounding the bicycle, i would suggest to contract the selection by 1px, good luck ! )

Great work author...Love the idea so much...Best of luck to u...

omg - fanTAStic, author!

Nicely done!!! Good Luck

excellent job author!!!

Work on the drapery of the fabric so it's as realistic as the rest of your image...otherwise pretty good.

Very good merging, fantastic job on the bricks and the basket. Agree with CMYK about the fabric; it's too blurry compared to the rest of the image. Also, the left arm should be lower.
I like the title too!

Nice! Nice! Nice! I can't find another word...

very nice idea and work, i like it a lot

great job

Awww poor puppy!! Very cute idea =) Best of Luck

GL

nice

Good luck

Nice work but cats look a bit copy/paste...try to create few adjustment layers or use blur tool for the cats edges...and work a bit more on the shadows,under the cats and under the bowl's...good luck

agree with erathion, bowls and kitties are floating.
Easy fix and good luck.

MO is the same as above.

i changed it a bit to make it seem not so cut and paste, let me know if its better

Bowls look like they kinda floating there, maybe darken the shadow on the floor?GL

yes what loopy says: just a narrow and darker shadow at the base of bowls will make this much better good luck and the kitties looking better. I use pen tool and stroke path and blur but there are other ways.

loopyluv and cabldawg71 are right on with their advice, but the kitties need a mini dark shadow where they touch the ground as well. Hopefully all of that will eliminate the impression that Butch's dish is encroaching on the black kitty tail.

what they said.... Reduce shadows MUCH MORE!

gud luck

This is amazing! Goes to my favs!

congrats, very awesome entry

nice mood your making there. there seems to be two lightsource from the clouds; it's too bright for the stars to be seen yet and some of the clouds seems to be behind the stars. lastly, a lot of dogs running syncronously is a bit odd. nice image though and i like the mood here.

You mean you've never seen a pack of synchronized dogs run wildly through a field on a dimly lit day with the stars shining brightly? haha... Well the stars were supposed to be more of a borderish thing, not really supposed to elude to night at all, so oops on that one. The two light sources were intentional to imply a cloud breaking the light source into "two"..... and I like synchronized dogs...lol

the lightrays wouldn't supposed to be on the same angle then, and the dog would have stronger shadow with that strong light...just my observation. good work though!

nice work... didn't under stand the dog's intention there.. are they going to attak her... the three dogs seems like that but the other dogs that are far dosent look like so...and the lights are still strange.. looks like they are coming from two different angle.. else is very good and nice mood created... very well done and Gl. Author..

I'm agree with hereisanoop

Thanks for all the input! I can see I could definitely have made the lighting a little better, directionally and more shadows, I was just trying not to overdo it with the shadowing actually! Anyways, thanks to all, your critiques are very valuable.
