Hehe nice idea!

ah crap.. this contest is so unfair.. every entry is hysterically brilliant.. and this one is awesome... good luck

Ah, I'll pass. But thank you!

i think the hand is too small.. but good idea!

amagawd gimme that icecream!!! noaw!!! (dang she got clean hands (and small) compared to her face)

red flag on your own author.. just for protection.. very simple and nice vision.. and a very proud balanced image I do think it's okay but I'd hate to see such a wonderful image pulled on a tech+

I'm yapping about your source (I suck at source checking)

very sweet take on source... you got two more.. be a little more adventurist.. but great start.. good luck

The people are too small, but it's a nice idea, good luck!!

the people are rather small, and when you mask them in, try and put them within the grass a bit and not on top of it, this should help with the distant feel and may just fix the sizing issue..

Nice relaxing feel

its a good idea but those ppl are not sitting IN the grass but ON the grass.. you should redraw some grass over them like in my puss in boots tutorial, also have a look at the shadow tip i give in that tut.

they'r floating?
GL !

the people look way too small for some reason.

I think you need to try to match all the colours together, and add a few more shadows for the heart, the knife and the baby. Good luck!

thank you will make changes.

while this is a very emotional piece... You could make the message even clearer if you changed the chair into a rocking chair and made the knife less commercial looking,, (a dagger would be more emotional then a serrated steak knife and a rocker would connect the baby with the rocking heart.. but this is your vision.. so TAKE THIS ONLY AS A SUGGESTION... if this is the vision you wanted.. then by all means stick with it.. Just trying to help and god bless

EDIT: Sorry.. didn't look close enough to the high res.. but the DAGGER is MUCH better... once again.. god bless

it is a rocker. Golemaura... it was ment as the chair a mother would feed and nurse a newborn.. i love the idea of changing the knife. thanks.

thanks for the feed back i like the dagger better

beautiful work but i got to go cry now

i didn't even need to read your beautiful poem to see your sorrow! My heart goes out to you ! I love your image , good luck !

the sand below the chair is too mucha diff color from the dry ground other then that.. it takes time to give it a place but you wotn forget it...

thank you everyone for taking the time to comment. Eladine.. the colour under the chair is suppose to the the river of tears... hence the colour difference... thanks for the feedback.

Too contrived, but not bad.

that is so awesome... they are absolutely adorable....great job!!!
