love the fantasy!

Astoundingly pretty! Good luck author

Very nice image, but the excessive noise added to the balloons hurts the fantasy and jarringly makes them separate from the rest of the landscape. If you added an an Anistropic Diffusion filter to just the balloons, it would help bring them back to being part of their surroundings.

Sorry, but I only have a lowly Adobe 6 program. Besides, I want the balloons to be the center of interest and prefer them as is. Thanks for your comment anyway.

oh i like this image.. could be comming right out of a storybook!

I like your picture!
It gives me a happy feeling, because of the warm colours

Very creative! Love the colors and how you made the first balloon with the 'face'. Tree spot textures are so whimsical, reminds me of hole-punched colored paper and a school project. As Eladine said, could be a book illustration.

Thanks so much friends for your comments and votes. So much appreciated.

Congrats once again Lois!! You keep this up and we'll have to call the contests Artgirl's Photoshop Contests! A most extraordinary week for you dear lady!

Well you've done it again Lois Congrats

Just MARVELOUS illustration!!! have no idea what the joke means, but that doesn't matter, great job

This is fun. Poor dodo going to use the lifesaver as a flight device. Glad to see he had the brains to know the difference. I don't think they woudl live up to their names "LIFE SAVERS"

Very cute! great work!!!!

Awesome! Dodo is my favorite bird and this one is just great. Good luck author

Damm creative... love it!

Excellent arthor! Very creative and amusing. Reminds me of a possible pixar short.

Brilliant work author!!

Very clever, author, well done!

Congrats!

Congrats!!

Nice Congrats

Looks very good, great composition.

this is awesome

Beautiful concept, but the yellow buildings are a bit too saturated and sickly looking with too much of a green tone. Perhaps a bit more of a pale brownish color to make them less dominant, so that the balloon can remain the focal point.

Appealing tones, but the balloon could stand out a bit more. A Rule-of-Thirds composition might have more impact (perhaps a brighter balloon moved to the left to contrast with the dark blue in the upper right). The opening at the bottom of the balloon does not match the perspective of the gondola or the owl. BTW what is attaching the gondola to the balloon?

very nice job

nice work..!!

amazing work author gl

amazing work author gl

very beautiful colors nice mood good blending and awesome work author

high vote and fav for you

ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh............woow.......... always wanted a "Parrosus", where can I get one?

Harry Potter will be red-eye when I ride a Parrosus

nice colors, great blending.... almost PERFECT!!! (only feel that it the mane, tail and wings were more flowing... like hair, but this is only my personal preference)

Stunning ... excellent work, wonderful creation! If I could I would fav it 2 or 3 times!

OH THANKS Glad you guys like it so much!
I do see where you are coming from aheman, but I really wanted to stick with the totally feather approach. Thanks for your input though, much appreciated

Beautiful creation, wonderful color!! Well worth the effort you put into it! The revise makes it even better!

Wonderfully thought out and done.. AWESOME!!!

Excellent image!

Wonderful colours,nice reflection,it's a fantastic creation !

nice nice

nice color combination!

this looks like a cool animal
)

NICE... WELL DONE but agreed with aheman. The flowing problems because there's a minor shadows in my opinion.

And this is just my input, Author: the Rim Lights should never be 100% white. Photographers will know about this, even if it's directly hit from the sun, there will be a little yellowish or even reddish for the rim lights.

Still, top notch blending, Author! High votes! Good Luck!

Beautiful composition, nice colors and wonderful creation.

Very nice work!!

Magnifique !

Thanks everyone!!!!

Hayato, thanks that was a good call, I updated the background so the light has more of an orangey glow, and is not so pristinely white.

Amazing!!!!
