Great chop author ! good luck

Very creative and well crafted work author! You may want to add shadows for a more realistic feel looks a little flat in places.

Thanks Warlock, great suggestion as usual, added shadow and some color changes

Amazing work author...very well done...

Nice idea to add "Charlie" to the vase - lovely work.

Once again you've taken my breath away... Incredible.

woow this one is d one realy nice good luck

no doubt,......it is so breathtaking...........a masterpiece of artwork.......OMG I need to take a deep breath. suddenly I had a heart attack for the beauty of this one.....

Thank you so much. If I give enjoyment to you, then this was worth all the work that went into it.

Outstanding piece of manipulation,creativity is off the chart, I just wish I could see more of the original Source image in the end result instead of referring back to the S.B.S

Absolutely beautiful!

whah this is incredible!

A wonderful artist just would do a wonderful work like this! As ponti said, it's totally breath-taking!

wow!!!

fantastic work.....fav

Amazing and very beautiful work. Surely top 3. My fav.

Beautiful!!! Really nice job author...hopefully one of these day I could be as good as you.

Very nice flowers! One suggestion for the vase. It draws to much attention because of the structure and colours. A nice smooth glassy vase in one colour would make this a lot better, you would get a nice contrast between the flowers and the vase. You could do it with this vase you have now I think (Blur it, plasterize filter and than add light with a white brush). Don't get me wrong, it's a nice piece anyhow! Good luck.

Thanks Ressiv for your comment. The vase is just as I wanted it since it still has something of the textures in the rooster's neck feathers. Otherwise, I would have given it a smooth finish.

Amazing!

A well deserved first place!

congrats!

Congrats !

congrats, beautiful and painstaking work!

Nice rain effect and colours, but don't like the composition that much. I would prefer narrow and high window instead, or at least the vase be shorter and roses a bit more longer. Now the vase looks huge compared to window - and the flowers a bit short.

Widiar, thanks for your suggestions, I reduced the size of the vase which was a little to big for the window, thank again.

MUCH better now. You could try a _very light_ shadow for the window border, even thou the light in here is very ambient, to make the frame blend with the glass a little better. You should check out the rightmost part of the windows, the frame in the middle and bottom needs some masking work to make them even. This is already starting to look very good. (Nice work with the flowers also, now that I gave them a good look on hi-res..)

i like the mood!

nice...

Very nice job. Good mood to this pic

Author, you don't need to post link 2, because it's the same as original source. To pick up the image that is given to be manipulated you just click on the image - it will direct you to the download page. Then you simply drag it to PS (it has to be opened). Or save it in a folder.

thanks

pretty neat

the shadow is opposite to the lite source and the part where the sky meets the sand is too dark... try and blend it better.. maybe use a smooth brush tool or blur a little....

it is a nice idea

The shadows have opposite directions, but i love the sky and the idea of having the vase in the desert

Perspective is reversed.

Thanks I hope this is what you ment?

It's better.
