great mood

it does have a good mood, however, i think the skulls on the left need to be more solid. right now you can see through them.

Thanks for your comment nishagandhi and jadedink

I have updated as per your comment jadedink, but I kept one skull almost same because I want to show that skull is merged in the wall.

really great mood...

I agree with everyone, and it's a change from the firey hell that we all think of. Good job!

Top entry author...for sure...well done

Thanks a lot for your comments!

Too dark. You can barely make out the source image, or much of anything else.

Thanks for your feedback MossyB, but now I can not edit my entry

My main intention was showing all stuff as a single image that's why I make source image dark.

Onward I will keep this in mind.

Well done

Author, you must be feeling pretty good right now. I noticed this is your first 1st placement. I'm sure it won't be the last Congrats!

Congrats! Very cool work!

Thank you all

@jawshoewhah: I am pretty happy, yes this is my first 1st placement and I will try hard to learn more.

Once again thank you, I am learning a lot from you!

Congrats !!!

The creature doesn't look backlit, and the shadow should conform to the contours of the steps, as well as have more edge blur and maybe a bit less opacity.

Thank you for the help.

Good work with the portal.
The background looks unconvincing. Folks here use vegetation rocks or premade background to make the environnement look realistic.
Use imageafter.com and sxc.hu to find blendable stock.

It looks ok, but I think you should have used other kind of plants or background as greymval says... and the foreground is not convincing for your kind of work. The alien looks cool. The rocks.... look ok. Good luck author.

Haha... funny stuff! I like it... Heaven is not for anyone...
Well, how you did the neon sign? Which font used? You could add also something like: reservation in advance (I don't know if in English it's this way we say...)

Hey Thats funny:

I dunno...I don't like the sign. It's not entirely true. Sure, there are alot of idiots in the world but the whole point is that everyone's welcome into heaven if they're deserving of it.

yea author you are right.. no one would ever think that heaven is full.. but yea I guess that sign will be more appropriate on hell.. hehe..

I like this image very much...no vacancy is great humor IMHO...and now about entry it self...light in the middle of the picture is fabulous touch,one nit pick...guy on the left side is maybe,just maybe to dark...any how,this is my new favorite...well done author

Great idea. Well done. Agree with erathion regarding person on left side. GL

The work is nice , but the background source link is missing, gl author

http://www.sxc.hu/photo/912700 Sorry but i try to put this link when i submit this contest but it didn't work ! Nox i hope it's ok

you can edit it from my stuf f-my contest

Flower reflections are wrong...you would see the bottoms, not the tops. Otherwise this looks good.

Also the reflection of the doors wouldn't flow through the reflection of the flowers. The flowers would block the reflection, a quick mask could fix everything. Nice image and good luck!

Great piece. Good luck.
