It's a well made image, but the source is totally unrecognizable...this could have been made from just about anything.

Author this is brilliantly done.. but do your self a favor and cut out a few of the sesame seeds and duplicate them several times and pepper the leaves with them.. do stuff like that so peeps can see the source.. it will save you a whole lot of grief and give you a higher score.. (Little stuff like that helps a lot)

WARNING: DO NOT OVER DO IT.. or just tell me to shove it and say you are happy just the way it is

I can see what you did in the SBS but a LOT of the voters don't even look at the SBS.. just the image (some don't even take the time to analyze the High Res either)

and thank you for my ramble

CMYK I appreciate your comments, I have seen entries where the image source is not recognizable and they do a good job. I am asking voters to check the SBS and see that I used parts of the image source in my entry, you are right that this image could have been done just about anything, but I think this is not a copy and paste entry, it took some hours of work. GolemAura, I will leave the image as it is. I am satisfied with it, at least I am learning to do something different from the other entries. Thank you for comments.....

good work

Hahah,,, now how did you ever thinh of this Good work!

Excellent use of source!! Well done.

I dont think its a problem that it does not look like the source anymore, half the entries have ever seen winning are things like this, total manipulations that result in a totally different picture. I dont like it but thats the way it is and this is really good work well done

I appreciate your comments.... thank you!

Upon seeing this I'm thinking...whew! No greasy burger! Creative use of source. I'm sick of that burger anyway!

Very creative!!
