The "tree growing out of an object to simulate surrealism" is getting really old. Otherwise it's not a bad image. GL author.

do you want me to chop it down ????

Very good blend author Good Luck!

thanks driven

"do you want me to chop it down ????"

That would certainly give it a new twist on an old concept!

The hamster is too brightly illuminated for the rest of the image, and that one star brush on the RH side is a bit fake looking, but overall, you've made a nice image.

Very interesting, but I don't see the shoe as the focal point as required by the contest theme.

that is something very good ,good luck

leave the tree, but I suggest you 'tone-down' the mood of the whole image.

the rocks n tree is too sharp with high-contrast... a more dreamy feel should be applied

i have made 1 dreamy moodjustdont know wicht one is the best , check in sbs

Nicely done

nice job

Nice work !!

the little guys on the swing are soooooooooooooooo cute!!! good luck author.. good thinking

very very nice feel on this one...good luck author...

thx for the compliments folks!

Congrats nice work

Congrats...

Congrats for 1st

very pretty image author... baby is very sharp compared to the back ground she is sitting on.. edge blending could help unless this was your goal... it just seems the baby is so defined and everything around is dusty and fuzzy.. (IMHO).. it's a really great concept author.. GOOD LUCK

thx for ur comment drivenslush, i changed the baby a bit with highpass, dunno why but it worked lol and a gradient and blended the edged of it, hope it looks better this way

Lovely image and I like what you did to soften the baby!

You should source cite the tutorial you followed for the main light effect. Since you used the same forest source image, it's pretty obvious.

thx to ghitulescu radu for using image

Very cutie!
