Astronaut swans ?

Soften/blur the edges...

Haha cool !! Good luck

nice work...good luck

This is great image,but u cannot use some others manipulation.And link three don't work.I am sure that u can find some tutorial to create the night sky or u can find regular stock image...

erathion: I have no idea what are you talking about. I am not using any manipulation that somebody did. I was a participant in the teepee contest. The image of the moon and buffalo are from pxleyes stock, and we can use these images. Check my SBS please. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

Great image

Sorry for my first comment,teepee link did not work at that time so i made that comment.But the moon image is manipulated work,and don't have any moon on it...u don't agree?

Great image! I think erathion means that the moon link leads to another image, but you're a reputable author so i'm sure it's just a mistake. Wonderful mood, great lighting and great imagination, author!

Thanks for comments, I appreciate it. erathion: do not worry, I made a finger mistake, one of the numbers to the link for the "moon" was wrong. I corrected it now. I appreciate your comment.

I like this , good job.

I like this , good job.

Wonderful imagination

very creative. I like the over all result and the colors.Good luck

Nice....

beautiful

great!

the side of her face is alittle too stretched but good idea

will see what I can do ...

EDIT: I played with the face a bit more, used warp and then liquify... hope it looks better.

Thanks for you comment

Try using the healing brush to get a better match on the face.

i haven't used the healing brush before will give it a go. Thanks for the tip

nice done

Author, my hat is off to you...this is a wonderful image! Not just well chopped, but you've captured a fabulous little boy moment...I love this image. My only suggestion would be to make the grass greener. High vote from me.

very nice work and idea.. the only suggestion i have is play a lil more with the brightness contrast and check the kids hair.. perhaps my tutorial puss in boot is helpfull for you also theres some lines from cut out on the arm that holds the stick it seems with a soft blur brush you might be able to soften these..

nice! deffinately a top 3 entry! but try lowering the saturation on the grass and bringing up the lightness... it will make it more natural looking over all... looks pretty sunny, but the grass still looks shaded...

Author.. wonderful job..but add the source for the birds so you don't get in trouble.. great feeling in this.. good luck (just covering for ya... GREAT JOB)

edit ; WHEW.. thank god for the source save.. GREAT JOB

Nice work, sweet image! The outlining around the head seems as if it should be softer...imo.

thanks for your comments and suggestions. will be making the changes sometime tomorrow.

I think I took too long to do the voting and it logged me out; now my comment is as a guest.

It looks very nice, but the boy holding the stick has a black outline from the previous source around his head and arm. Remove that and your entry will be more or less perfect! Good luck!

beautiful work!! the color tones are awesome!!

made the revision, removed the lines and lightened the grass. thanks for the suggestions!

Nice sources

I think real grass would be more effective, but still nicely done.

Aaaah... This is SO lovely! You did really a wonderful job! Good luck
