Very clever design and Idea.. GOOD LUCK

This is adorable, but the leaf "sail" mast is behind the leaf boat, so it does not look attached...You may also want to make the ant just a wee bit smaller, as he is disproportionately large in comparison to the blades of grass.

Yep, try to have the mast attached to the leaf boat...other wise you've created a great image here. I especially like the source of the "flood" in the background. Fine work!

I've made ​​some changes, thanks for your comments

that is sooooo cute

It remembered me to Gnomeo & Juliet. Lol. Nice one, Author!

Great stuff!

Fabulous!

suggestions:
1) make the "sparkly dust" a little blurry.
2) can saturate the whole scene a little, colors will be richer

Nice job, love the Gnorman flag!

very nice

Beautiful fairy tail picture

Fabulous and very creative!

Very nicely done...I love the fantasy mode. Surely an instant fav from me. GL author!

Congrats again Geex this one is cute

Congrats! great work!

The edges where you've extracted the elephant from the background are very rough. You may want to try using the pen tool for more control.

You also need to adjust the edges which are shadowed and highlighted, as your background has the light source from behind the elephant, which would provide a back lit "halo" effect, rather than a strong highlight on top and a shadow beneath.

Such a pretty image of a happy little elephant in a field, love the whole image and all the hard work you put into it, quite beautiful!!! The image is very wonderful and a lot of love was used to create it, GREAT JOB AUTHOR!!!

Elephant is too green, and you might have been better off using a real sky. Still time to revise.

Very cute, i would bright a little more the sky and add some more light on the elephant's head.

i like it... but can change the sky to a more cheerful one?

Cute and happy, GL!

????? There was a revision and now it's back to the old version? The revision was much better.

Cute...

beautiful.....GL!!

Hi res would be really nice ... hard to vote without seeing the detail. Looks like you have done a lot of work and I think you would get a better score with a Hi res. I will wait in hopes that you are able to get one uploaded

We only ask for Hi-res to have a better look at your mistakes! MUHAHAHA !
Just kidding author.
Light is coming from above so you should apply highlights & shadows on the body of the dragon considering that.
Imagine the body of the dragon as a torus and it will be easier to shade it, same with his face.
You can use either dodge/burn, or separate clipping layers with white& black to create values - that's my favorite technique.

thanks to all for the GREAT feed back... HOWEVER.... i just had a computer crash and lost this entry... I did not have a back up of my last 3 weeks entries....
I was not able to make the changes..

NOTE: loved the help you have given me and i will try and use the skills you have suggested in future entries.

Sorry to hear about the crash ... what a drag!

Nice image author, very interesting effect with the nebulae in front. Hope you get your garden one day!

Awesome

Congrats!!

Congratulations for your third place!

Congrats
