Super clever animal placement and excellent source blending.
Very nice work

You've done a good work hiding them.

Great work, I was looking at the tree and all of the sudden I saw all the Gnomes, and wow, good blending, looks like this too a while. = )

The gnomes where drawn in which made blending really easy! Tee hee - it was a fun image to do. It did take quite a bit of time but I could have gone on and on and on.

I am dying to see if anyone has found the bonus creature?

Oh boy.. flash back to the hospital waiting room paging through a Highlights magazine LOL

I was thinking about that sort of thing. I loved these puzzle pictures as a child (okay, I admit, I still like them). It was fun to create one of my own. Only trouble is I knew where everything was so couldn't look for it

lots of work is invested here...gl author

Congrats my friend on 1st!!!

Congrats Arca lovely work

COngrats for your first place Arca, great job!

This is incredible. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way this was constructed. Its a beautiful world you created. My favorites are the wolf and the fairy.

Great image, the SBS is (a bit) confusing, but i get what you did. It's a great idea and the foreground is awesomely made.

Lol Thanks for the heads up on the SBS, greymval. I was having a little trouble uploading it, so when I thought I finally got it right, I didn't bother to check. lol Its all scrambled up. I'll fix it right away.

great idea good job on the woman the veil looks great. my tip is name your sbs pics 1.2.3.... makes its easier lol.. good job

Thanks for the tip, bompy. I do label them 1, 2, 3...but...er, um...when I was uploading them, I put myself on autopilot and started to think about other things and when I came back, I discovered my autopilot had failed. lol Then I tried to unscramble the text and the pics and...well, anyway, its all fixed now. I checked this time. lol

Congrats for your first place, Cheryl! Your eyes are obviously better again

Congrats!!!

Thank you for your votes and comments. L, its kind of like looking thru a dirty window now. Not the best, but I can work with it. Fewer sulks and pity parties anyway.

Congrats, beautiful image. Hope everything continues to be better for you.

Congrats.... nice entry.

Congrats

Congrats!

Congratulations, Cheryl!

Great feel to this piece, I really like what you have done with the wispy hair and how you created the wings. In my personal opinion the very bright horn takes a little too much of the focus away from the beutiful horse, but that's only in my very humble opinion.

great work

Nice AUthor...looking beautiful..!!

I like this, the horse almost looks like a stuffed animal good job

Very lovely ... the sense of whimsy you have captured is very good. And there is a feeling of movement and flight as well. Excellent job!

Beautiful soft wings

Very pretty, and love the colors. Great job, author!

Nice effects !!!

Delicate and detailed image. Would love to have seen it larger as the hi res wasn't enough for me to get all the detail that I think is there. Still worthy of hi points!

Very nice, especially in HR = )
