Link posted doesn't lead to hand used. Edges of hand should be softened. Light source of main image is from left, so hand shadow is wrong. Would be better to make SBS to show how hand texture was made (which isn't included in source links).

Thanks for pointing out wrong hand image - now rectified! Will look at shadow today. Hand image - used overlay. Am looking forsuitable SBS. Thanks for the help!

good luck

the pawn could be more integrated into the picture - as it is, it looks like it's "glued" on top of the photo

nice idea

good luck

Nice .....

Nice thought, but perspectives don´t match.

Ditto on perspectives, too much smudge on the wings, especially the front parts.

If u watch high resolution,there u can see few minor issues...First one is white halo around the biggest stone (upper left corner of the stone),and u have small blending problem.Try to create few more color adjustment layers to achieve better blending.Any how,this is great image and very cool idea,fix that things author and u will have great entry...good luck

I think some reflection of the horse on the pond is needed.

nice

very nice tech work.. great job at cloning

Excellent job with removing the horse, good luck

Love this!
Very good

Awesome work author . The moment I saw your work I could not stop myself from praising you.Good Luck. .

Pretty impressive. The white jump visible in the background between the top rails of the mid-ground and foreground jumps has disconcertingly repetitive marks on its horizontal cross bar that just screams cloning. Additionally, I think cloning out the people on the ground as well as the jumping horse and rider would yield a more elegant final result.

Great job!

Looking pretty good. You pulled the trees to much downwards, there should be some grass above the highest red,blue,yellow bar. The green trees in the middle that kind of pop out the other trees that have a lower saturation don't fit the rest of the trees. Make those lighter trees also less bright and with a lower saturation.

it almost looks as if someone has the new CS5 with content aware fill...

nice job

very good work

Very, very neat work, author! I like to see your evolution, how you're growing on your works! Just one thing, visible only in hi-res: the 3rd. backward bar, on blue part, it needs a little adjustment on its shape. The rest is perfect, I wouldn't do better!
