nice -- There is a bit of water over the paw that seem out of place and I think the chrome and lemon should show a bit more through the water

nice idea.. I agree with Alan and is the water poisoned..? I see a kinda small skull in the drain holes, was it a deliberate attempt or it just happened...? haha Good Luck..

hey thanks for tips i changed it a bit how is it now?

looks good..

thanks

Before seeing sbs, I was imagining from where you got that funky face!

the shadow still shows a sharp face, fix that.

WONDERFUL JOB AUTHOR.. gives me major heebie jeebies... BUT FANTASTIC WORK!!!!!... (I see what inanis is saying about the shadow.. but the head has so much visual power I didn't notice LOL)

WONDERFUL FIX AS WELL!!!

fixed

Very spacey indeed...good luck!

Great one! Just fix the dark spot below the head--it disrupts from its total awesomeness.

looks weird and good at the same time lol

this is nice... good to see such entries.. GL

weird but eye look great. Nice texturing

Exceptionally creative work.

A VERY rare breed

unusal image -- maybe send a bit of time on the blending of the tails and stems also the masking of the dogs -- the area under the belly should not be there it is background form the orignal image

thanks a lot Alan. Hope its better now

Better -- tail and stem still could be tter and maybe some blurring of the edges of the dog just to soften the transition. I find blurring the jpeg is sometimes easier than doing it in the PSD file

Crazy idea...good luck author

ouch! where did you stick the stem!!! poor dog lol

Hey.... this is impressive and different thinking.. Good Luck!!

Crazy and funny

cool thinking ..good luck

Nice blend.....Good one...

this one is really funny. greatttt!

Nicely done, looks great.

nice.....

well blended.

Great work...blur head just a bit,not more then 0.5-0.6...good luck author

Nice blending

climber image is nice

Very clean. Good job.

That's great, amusing, and nicely blended!

Looks pretty good, I do agree with erathion though, otherwise try to make the dog's edges a tiny bit softer so it matches with the rest even better. Good luck!

Congrats for your first place, Jaescoe!

Congrats, really well done

Congrats! for winning. Great blending

Congratulations for 1st

Congratulations on your win......wonderful entry.......

Great job! Congrats!

woohoo! Contgratulations!

congrats on first place

Congrats!

Nice job, except dog's shadow is opposite light source on his head, and you seem to be missing a link for the feet and/or background.

shadow on ground to left not dog's? ... the feet belong to the dog and he's sitting on the background ... all in dog source

He looks pretty intimidating

Nice work...good luck

If the feet in your entry belong to the dog in your source link, where does the grass come from? Look again at the light source on the dog head. Light is from left. Shadow on ground next to dog is opposite.

sorry... i'll rectify the link as soon as i can find it !!

Nice try....Shadow is a problem otherwise a nice work,.....

i think it will be more good if you get rid of the white space... and fill it with grass background... and fix the shadow too.. Nice work, good luck..!

CMYK is right.

helmet need to a little more round... agree with 'CMYK' and hereisanoop about the shadows and the white background.. But this one looks very nice... good luck to you.

Nice blend.....Good one...

OK ...sorry folks, posted wrong link ... I think if you look at it you will see that the shadow is NOT the dog's (If i get a chance i'll clone it out, but given the original shadowing on his face i didn't think i needed to).... as for the shape of the helmet: the shape of a basset's head, isn't 'round as such, plus i wanted the helmet to cover the join of his ears too

Cute (in spite of not liking this race of dog...)

very adorable

this is pretty. good luck to you.

Nice work, Love the dog.......Good Luck

This is on a hilarious level of awesomeness. The armor looks like it was made for the little guy, fits perfect.
