Step 1 of your SBS to me looks a lot better than the final result, it seems to blown out, and in High Res, a lot of detail is lost.. perhaps you should revert back tos tep one and simply make a few colour adjustments.

hey thanks, im actually still messing around with it in ps... I still have a bit of time

it is.. I just kinda wanted the sky like that I'm fiddling with it still

looks like u curved it too much.

Like I said I liked the effect on the sky .. should of masked her though ... Now I cant get the sky back to where it was

i think i love this. really, i do. the sky creeates such a glorius happy and magestic undertone and its so happy, the colour scheme reminds me of blowing bubbles.

Try again with the highest resolution pic of the hummingbird...it looks pretty bad. The rest is good...

Alright I've tweaked the bird some, what do ya think?

The new hummingbird looks much better...GL author.

makes me think of Lana on futurama lol

I think the eye could be better positioned, IMO.

Nice...

Nice, very surreal.

Nice work....

Add some shadow around the waist and where the cloth meets..GL

agrees with adding shadows

Thank ya for the advice!

Thanks to two Pxleyes advisers, I improved this job!

Great blend!! Good luck!!

Everybody, thanks!

There's too much shadow on the pigs. It looks like they are floading. Then maybe tone down the light on them just a wee bit. (I know what your thinking: "Damn that was fast I just uploaded it"

EDIT: Much better but the light beams were ok. It was just the light on the piggies that seems a bit much. You might want to consider some more editing just on the edges of the pigs or wait for a second opinion. Just glad I could help.

The light beams were good. They added to the whole image.

Light beams should start at top of window...

Very nice

This one always makes me sad. I wish that you'd found a younger girl. Nice image, though.
