Reminds me of Thomas McKnight before he started to do people Great JOB!

Good image, but try to work on some of the edges on the stick & figure. A soft blur brush will fix most of them. And since it's dark, the upper part of the figure could be less saturated...color fades in the dark. GL author.

Besides what Bob said, if he's a Hobbit shouldn't he have hairy feet?

Edges of hair on feet ain't hairy, and you haven't done anything to refine the edges mentioned above.

The light and shadows in this are kind of all over the place, though I can appreciate the difficulty. I really like the concept, but otherwise I'm not quite sure what to make of it.

Maybe you could've moved the model slightly to the right then made the bottom left mushroom bigger, therefore making it cast more light. I find if I'm having trouble lighting a scene it helps to have a dominant light source to fool the eye.

It also helps to selectively blur/sharpen parts of the image to mimic the way humans perceive things i.e. I know the dude is the focus of the image but while I'm looking at him my brain is still noticing how sharp the background and buildings are and therefore it feels as if something is a bit wrong. Hope that makes sense!

Creating an entry is a lot of work so I understand your decision to stop revising. But for the future, I would note that a Rule-of-Thirds (rather than centering) composition can be more dramatic (and might have yielded a compelling diagonal arrangement here if your hobbit were moved to the right and the little mushrooms were in the middle). [BTW the horizon line of the lamp at his feet doesn't seem to match that of the other elements.]

Congrats Randy!!

Thanks!

Congratulations.....!

Congrats!!!

Delightful

as a children's book, really nice

Love the way it glows - so pretty

super sweet!!!!

Brilliant !

Congrats Cornelia lovely work

congrats

The edges of the hoverflyuare a bit too sharp, and the white balance a bit too bright for the rest of the image. I would suggest the tiniest bit of blur around the body, and reduce the white (Image>Adjustments>Selective Color) just a couple of degrees but otherwise, VERY creative!

Hi, congrats!

Congrats once again!!

i love your little girl in this image, but i feel like too much of the image is blurred. Maybe a little more focus on the child, at the moment im drawn more to her legs that the rest of her. Goodluck

Needs a caterpillar with a hookah on top

Though is blurred it's lovely!
