Aww... Poor zebra. I really feel bad for it. Maybe adding some tears will be nice! GL

I tried that but I didn't know how to make them look real so I gave up.

Well, there's a tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzcbQW7hKqs&feature=fvsr . It helped me alot

Thank you very much that tutorial was fantastic!

It looks awesome now! Great in High res.

very good, i don't know about the shadow of the little plant to the left.. lowering the opacity might help

nice job!

Elficho, I thought about it, but then, it is too close to the wall, then shade would be a little bit more dense, you know those shadows from old type of the electric bulb...

Beautifully made.. you did a great job creating the room. I don't really like the shirt on the floor because something about it doesn;t seem right, but the rest is FANTASTIC!

Ponti55, thank you for your comment. Well, I don't like how it came out either (shirt on the floor) But I had to show piece, cut from curtains. So I did it as I could.

very nice

err umm.. gee.. what is it? a Stick? a Flute? unsalted pretzel? deformed Ziewback?.. could use some help here.. it looks like carved Thula Wood.. but I can't make out what it is

i totally agree with golem

yeah...i remember my first wooden stick with red something or other on it too

omg I had a stick just like that when the kid next door stole it and i smacked him so hard with it that he bleeded... o.o omg YOU are that kid!!!

very nice

What an absolutely stunning image.. though you really need to add a STEP BY STEP... this is too good not to share your process.. good JOB!!! and Good Luck

Absolutely Awesome Entry......... I have seen it in PST.......Good Luck Author.

Incredible, when i look at this picture i can' t believe that a software or something technical is involved on his creation. Is only feeling. Congratulations, no need to see the other entries, this is the best.

Have seen this one before? Nice, I can't remember which contest, I've seen it in, or was it just close to something else?

Very impressive work. Beautiful and stunning image, my fav too..

sbs would be nice.

Lovely to see this again...great blend, excellent mood & color!

very nice mood

Thanks guys for your gracious comments. I would loved to have provided a sbs, but the computer I originally did this on is not in service at the moment. It is basically a cut and paste, with a lot of attention to the blending. I believe the sepia effect is from a gradient map or from hue/saturation. Kinda hard to remember without viewing the layers. Thanks again!

Cool

I am speechless.Dont know how long I stared at this.

Aaaaah... so good to see it back! Good luck with this almost magical picture again

EXCELLENT...GREAT SHOP WORK....WAIT- BETTER THAN GREAT!I know a few photographers that would like to have you in their studios! VERY very well done.

Great mood and blending!

Wonderful picture!! You changed the kids it since the last time right? Again I think that the masking of the tree on the right is a lil irregular but it's just silly whinings
