the eyes look like they're too far down her face.. but i love the hair and the sword. Good luck!

verrrrry good.

Nice sword.

Very nice work Author. Truely well done.

congrats on your placement... a hard and close comp.

Great entry! the ghostly effect is very convinving, and the abbey in the background sets the mood perfectly. My one suggestion would be to tone down the highlights just a tad and that's it. Great job and good luck!!

Nice job!

This was a great idea. My only suggesting would be to make the skeleton leaning slightly to the left more strait.

THis is very cool!

ponti55 and jawshoewhah : thank's... for the suggestion, I will consider again..

divair, Iluvscrappy :: thank's...

this is a sophisticated pics ! love this very much !

very realistic outcome, good choice of stock images ,

Nice idea, but image looks low res and pixelated. Make sure you start with the highest resolution of the source image next time to avoid that. Good luck!

I agree...you have plenty of time to use the highest res source pic & resubmit...it's a good idea.

unskitty and CMYK46: I really appreciate the constructive and helpful comment. I am going to be gone and I don't know if I'll have the time. But, your suggestion did not fall in deaf ears . I'll keep it in mind for the future.

nice job! i like this a lot. very creative.

I have to ditto unkskitty and CMYK, but despite of the fact, that it is very pixelated, the idea is very good. That little door in front of the "castle" with the little gate is a very nice idea. Good luck

Shadows need work...stuff is floating...seagulls & shells in a desert?

Also seaguls are flying too close to her.

love the colors and mood, but agree that shells girl and helmets appear to be floating. Try to make them interract with the sand, think when you sit on the beach or a sand dune, you sink into the sand a bit, it should overlap on the objects. I like the surreal quality to the gulls and shells with the vast dunes. Good luck! (here's an example of how sand interracts with the weight of a person: http://www.jiunlimited.com/en/search/close-up?eqvc=2207156&oid=6298765&a=a&pt=&k_mode=any&k_exc=&cid=&date=&ct_search=&f_c=1&f_b=1&f_h=1&f_v=1&f_n=1&f_i=&f_o=&f_l=&big=1&k_var=sand&bl=%2Fen%2Fsearch%2Find

Frostmourne?

neat imagination!

whoah! this is scary and cool at the same time!

Fantastic.. good job.

great job on the horse! fuzzy ears are awesome; good shadow as well

good use of source... but the eyes seems mismatch with the texture. still weldone!!

hold on i am very sure i have seen almost the exact image somewhere else

Slayou, if you find one.. please let me know... the only thing I can think of is you might be thinking of the Nightmare by Fuseli and I WOULD love if it looked anything like that

very interesting

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.............I say BEHOLD!

Ha-ha-ha, love the mug!
