THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

if possible, make the face with clouds (alittle)

Believe me I tried so but the result was kinda weird... :S Though I would have liked to give it that effect!

AWESOMELY AWESOME!! WOW!!!

Thank you, kind sir!! Glad you like it.

Beautiful composition and colors. I will like to have a stainglass window like that.....!!! GL

nice.... just a suggestion, wonder if you can make some-sort of long hair for "mum"

not really necessary, would be nice to have

I perceive her as having a robe which also covers her head.

Two thumbs up.. so creative and beautiful.... one for the FAVS...

beautiful......

Superb work, gook luck!

Lovely creation!

Thank you all so very much. So appreciate all your very kind comments.

Inspirational Concept there author. Love the work.

Beautiful, author! Love your concept, the butterflies and use of filters for the background. Exceptionally creative work here.

Astounding, looks like a steam glass

Congratulations

Congrats on 2nd. I'm with George on this one. This would make a beautiful stained glass window.

Congrats!!

Congratulations!!!!

congrats!

A wee bit late but congratulations!

The dimensionality of the baby head really works, but the "mom head" needs to have the same quality...right now she looks like an inflated balloon. Suggestion would be to do some dodge/burn on her, or shading & highlights on adjustment layers. GL author.

Good call, CMYK, thanks!

The light intensity on the plant and kid face is different. You should add some highlights on the baby's cheek and nose (with some bright green or pale yellow) to get rid of this. good luck

I see you've changed her face. I like this one much better! She relates much better to the baby. Cute idea nicely done! (Just one tiny nit pick, there's some edges showing on the right and lower right side.)

Swordfish and Spaceranger, THANK YOU so very much!
"Too close to the trees (or tomatoes) to see the forest (or edges and lighting)..."

It always helps to have other eyes to spot the small things. That's what helps me improve!

Thank you again!

Red tomato face looks flat, since this isnt a very original concept there are lots of tutorials to show you how it should be done, hope this helps.

Good luck

Nice tutorial, Geexman, but the result is too "bright" for this image. Trying to erase the forehead and cheeks made the face too dark, going back to the "balloon" effect CMYK pointed out with the previous face, and erasing back to the original image made the teeth and the eyes WAY too bright...Oranges and tomatoes just don't quite work the same...But thanks for thinking of me and trying to help.

Very sweet!

Adorable!!

That baby is just ADORABLE! The woman's cheeks look nice. I just don't like her teeth and eyes. But the baby gets high marks from me!

Very cool...love the idea that both of them are smiling...gl

The image is very dark, hard to distinguish what's going on. Images often get darker when posted I suggest you lighten it up a bit to compensate.

It's a beautiful concept, of protection, motherhood... but I agree with Spaceranger; if you play with curves, for exemple, you will get a great image here.

I tried to brighten hopefully it doesn't look to grainy. Thanks for the suggestions.

Nice source find - heartbreakin'.

the bridge indeed looks a bit grainy ..
mayby you could set some kind of filte rover the whole image so it looks like you did it on purpose

GL !

Lovely concept. Has a sadness to it that fits well with the theme.
