Tutorial was followed well, but, being as the transparency is within water there would definitley be some refraction of the background (select donkey shape and liquify-bloat brush inside selection on the background layer) ....& to add a little extra I`d make the ground under the donkey darker/wetter (maybe using soft burn brush).... just a thought

Hmmm.. Thanx for the idea Geexman! I'll try it just to see the result. I should have thought of that before...!

Interesting image and I am glad to see an "easy" way to make thing transparent (ha ha)... nice run at it! I do agree with Geexman but not bad work overall!

Nice....I did the tut as well.

Nice one...gl

Perfect! It makes me want to stretch my arm and try to touch a tree or pick up a car!

This is one of the most convincing pics around.

hahahahaha...i love it...even trees look like a toy model...great usage of tutorial and so cool final result...gl

Beautiful landscape! Lots of work, but at the end, you should be happy with the result. These are the kind of entries that inspire a real Photoshoper. Good luck author.

I really like that. It looks retro.

Comments like these also inspire photoshoppers!! Thank you.

Very sweet image! Looks like paper cutouts in a shadow box. Well done!

I'm not a big fan of primitive styles, but this piece is very eye-catching and pleasing to the eye. Nice job!

Edit: LOL....didn't know that was you, author.

Excellent use of source! GL!

Sure, Ponti!!

This is so cool! I really, really really love this one..

It reminds me those pop-up books, full of fantastic stories... It's sweet, naïve, wonderful! GL!

very nice piece...gl

It looks ok, except that :
1. At the beginning of the river, the water should be flat, not following the form of the book.
2. Since you have a path, that croses the river, you could add a bridge over it, too.
3. You could also try to keep edges to the pages so that the grass is not entirely covering them.
4. The original tutorial is this :

Cheers.

Very nice work author...In high resolution river don't look good at all,it look like some mix of green white mess...so maybe would be better without...also u could use some color adjustment layers to achieve better blending and to pop u entry...if u decide to do that PM me to give u some advices about that...any how image is very nice...gl

Thanks erathion for your kind help. May it looks better now.

Author I agree that is a good tutorial Very nice work and Best of Luck
