Do not worry about the rules too much, Author. I have my works pulled off too PLUS a WARNING. But, at least, I'm thinking that they are do their own job, as I do mine if I were them. I'm happy, my works got pulled out because I'm too damn HOT to handle, am I?

Anyway, best of luck, Author. My only suggestion is the water... it's kinda blurred of some parts. Or smudged too much. That's all. Have a good day!

thank you Hayato,your nice words make me feel better at this time,maybe I'll be even better if you're willing to be my teacherI did intentionally make blurred on some parts of the water.
have a good day for you too.

If you are a new member, there is no excuse for not reading the rules. That is what they are here for.
If you read the rules, you will hopefully follow them, and your entries will not get pulled.

If you refuse to read and follow the rules, you have no one to blame but you.

I like your attitude Hayato welcome to PXL

Nice job on the ship masking BTW.

Missy, have you heard of Google Translate? People the world over use it successfully. Especially since the Rules basics here aren't that complex in language...
http://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=iT

Google translate really does have it's limitations sometimes.

the waves look too "big" for a small boat.

suggest make the ship double-size...my personal view, it's up to you

MossyB is right on the strictly manners. I'm the "rulebreaker" in my country, I'm sorry I'm making this statement, but I'm not the lawbreaker.

Ichappell, thanks for your attention to me. About google translate, yes. Especially when it translate from Japan > English then I swap the language. Man... it's messed up! The only way I could learn "Engrish" is from chatting & comments like this through the net.

Aheman is right on the "big" waves but IMHO, make the ship double-size would seems (once again IMHO) break the composition. Try to calm the waves first, then it should be right.

Thanks MossyB for you good words,ok i see,everything you say is true,i didn`t carefully read the rules, just reading in some parts, and skip the others,that`s my problem.see you,and i hope you have a great time

Welcome to PXL yeah Bravo Hayato Good Luck to you Ichappell and thanks for your nice comment.;

Thanks for coming and comment Missy,Hmm i guess so,i certainly will no longer break the rules if the rules existing translation in my language, there are some rules that I dont understand,what does that words mean,i`m not too good in english.

Aheman ,yes i agree with you,the waves look too big,I'll fix it next time..take care and see you

Thanks again Hayato,You give a lot of input for me...have a great time..take good care of you

Author,

Keep up the great work!

I believe the hardest part is finding good pictures (with no copyright) and referencing them correctly in your entries!

Most likely that is why many of your past submissions have been pulled. Take a look at a few of the top members of this site... and start by looking at their submissions and how their works are referenced.... even reuse some of the photos they have used!

Welcome my friend and do not be discouraged; Remember always have fun and keep photoshopping,

Woodz

p.s. (edit) Plus I really like the name of this entry and the humor you put into it.

Woodztockr..thanks a lot for your kindness,for your support,and thank you so much for your suggestionsthis is greatly helped me to know where the pictures are safe to use or otherwise for my entry later .yes of course i love photoshop till the end what have i learned about photoshop still less,the more i learn the more I don`t know
hmm its nice to know you like the name of my entry thank you ; yes I'm happy to be surrounded by humor and I'm not going to let my face become stiff like rocks because loss of a sense of humor..keep smile always.. my friend..see you

Nice entry author, GL!

nice job

thank you enblanco,and thank you chakra1985,i wish you good luck.

Really nice work!

wow , this looks very epic .
only thing that hurts my view is the stars over the trees and the castles, somehow they spoil
the depth . good luck

Good imagination, but I don't get the cosmic dandruff...

magic entry!

thanks mossy, ......thanks gornats, btw just take a look the pic again I made some changes on the stars,...thanks nanaris,.....
thanks CMYK,..btw, of course you dont,...

Well, looks better now that there's less of it.

thanks you CMYK,..and there's not any on yours because it is balded hehehe....(just kidding)

Fantastic output.., beautiful colors.. , good luck man

Not sure what you meant author, but you still got a good vote from me.

I meant your avatar pic...thanks again..

This is AMAZING!!!! I love it! :o

Very nice piece of work author...best of luck

Absolute!!!!! Amazing!!!!

Chaotic, colorful and very cool. Great work!

great artwork!

Congrats lovely fantasy scene

Congratulations!!! Have a cookie!

note: cookie is purely hypothetical.

Congrats!!

Love the feel of this one. Nice work on the blends, and SBS as well. Only thought would be that the shadows from the willow don't match the light source (they should be longer). Best of luck.

Thanks blindscientist I knew I forgot to do something thanks for pointing that out have made the change hopefully for the better.

Looks like grass on the surface of the water?

That's what it is CMYK46.

Ummmm...but why?

Why not?

I think the edge sides of the willow are too rough, try to use the Blur Tool or if you want to do the hard way copy some of the top "leaves" effect.

I have made the changes you suggested Akassa. Thanks.

Beautiful image!

hey.., that's look like a cluster of moss on the surface of water... LOL

I say that freaken awesome lol....i wish i could do something even remotely like that lol very good job!

super work!

Congrats, lovely work

Congrats...

Thank you both.

Congrats! for 1st place

congrats.........wonderful......

Congrats!

Stunning!

Congrats!!

Thank you all.

Creative idea beautifully executed. I do feel retaining the vehicle tracks to the right of the path from the contest source creates a distracting element, however.

I agree with DanLundberg, it's a beautiful piece with wonderful atmosphere. If you eliminate the tracks you probably would have to bring the right side fence to the left to fill the negative space where the tracks were. (just filling with grass would still leave a negative space disturbing the symmetry.) That would mean extending the fence bottom a bit and some cloning. Now that's speaking purely from a design standpoint. The tracks could be part of the suggested story, maybe her lover just drove over the horizon and she's left waiting alone...who knows? In any case I still love the feel of this and it won't effect my vote either way.

Thanks for the comments guys..i didnt even think about the symmetry until you guys brought it up..very nice observation..i am going to leave it like this though, to leave the source image as is..so for now we'll have to go with spaceranger's story..lol

marvelous

i like it ,it is very nice,good luck

Wonderful!

very nice work...good luck

very nice image -- like the composition
