hahahahahahaha...what a cool crazy image...best of luck author

i really mixed and manipulated this time

Lovely work, romantic colors!

beautiful!

thank you!

Nice idea!

Love the idea! I do find it a little over saturated but I will have to come back and look at it again, could just be my mood and after seeing the previous submission the difference is a little striking. I would also suggest some slight ripple lines to give the swans a sense of movement, they seem a little static right now.

Other than that it is a wonderful composition and well thought out! Great concept. I am going to come back for a second (and possibly third) look before voting though as I think this image will just get better and better each time.

i will definitely add some ripple, thank you for the suggestion, i knew something was missing!

Beautiful scene author...best of luck

thank you so much erathion!

The flowerpot looks very realistic! Good job.

Nice job, author. Everything looks a bit fuzzy or soft.

it looks so real!! great job!!

Lovely work and I agree ... looks like you could reach out and touch it!

The pot looks gorgeous, well done
-there are some masking problems where the stem meets the earth.
- you could have used a lower saturation for the background to make it a bit more neutral.
- dodge/burn tools should have been on a lower oppacity for less contrast on the leaves and petals.
People use clipping layers of black& white with lower opacity to make shades & lights, cause it's difficult to redo the dodge/burn, but you can always erase & adjust a clipping layer.
It's a good start, anyways.

greymval thanks for the input....I have been at this a while, it is the way I want it to look though.

Nice work! I would have loved to see more detail in the leafs, but overall I think you did a stunning job.. Great work author and GL!

very cute

Really precise work!

Fantastic work author...well done

I know it's not exactly like the tutorial, but I did my best. Some of the steps I didn't quite understand so I had to do it my own way and see if it came close to looking like the tutorial pic.
If you would like to know how I did the heart, I uploaded a mini tutorial for you guys. That was my look when I thought of adding it to the picture, lol.
