Where is my skirt?????
Great job here!! Good luck, author!

Very well done!!

nice job with the shadows and the gluteous maximus

A very nice entry which was imaginative and well executed. Personally I thought it was much better than where it finished.

This is a very nice use of the source, sweet image. Could use some improvement on removing the background from the tree leaves, tho - here are several tutorials, in fact I've bookmarked it also, at the end of the first one are other examples: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_1jet.htm .

very nice piece author...good luck

its a darker emotion than i expect...and the brighteness surrounding the girl is really ethereal. i like the feeling, even though its a heavy weight, you've effectively moved the viewer.

good luck.

The lighting is a bit too inconsistent, expecially the ground near the girl's feet. With such a bright light shining on her, she would not be standing in a pool of shadow...

The horizon is very smoothly blended with the sky, although the topmost clouds look a bit "swishy," rather than cloud-like.

This image has a dark mood the the innocent curiousity of the girl really draws your attention. Great work author.GL

Very deep, you sure created a work of are that got a lot of buzz, nice job!

glad she can't reach,...great rendition!

Congratulation for this fabulous work...

thanks erathion

congrats on the 1st place

It s one great job !!! Congratulations,,,,, but I think it is not completely agree with the contest.... see:
" Another requirement is that your subject in the final image needs to be partly in the water "

Thanks for your comment dyno, but as you can see the pillow, grapes and flower are all in the water. I would hope that counts as my subject matter but I guess I`ll raise the question since you`ve pointed it out.

Great job ! Amazing reflection

Nice reflection, but the perfectly straight waterline looks fake. Having the water level come up to her arm would allow you to draw a 3D waterline while also resolving the "partly in the water" issue clearly in your favor.

cute kid, nice results, not sure if you had used an authorized filter though.

Thanks guys, I could see the guides for this one are strict & maybe unclear, so I flagged the entry earlier and the mods wrote:
About your entry: - Reflecting Innocence -:

Yes, your entry is within the guidelines of the theme.

very nice work author...best of luck

That must be one soggy pillow.

I was wondering if anyone else would think that the pillow would - in the real world - be showing some water and or water stains. If you can accomplish that, would be more realistic. Very sweet little girl you've got there, author.

beautiful work ...............

Such a sweet little girl. Nicely done, best of Luck!!

Oh, author, she's so cute... a princess! You just could made a darker line on the pillow, as if it was absorbing water... try it next opportunity! GL, my friend...

amazing result, so cute!
