Lol Thank you for your votes!

Nice =) Simple but effective =)

regarding source no1 (the image with the hand), the author, mr-big was notified and credited. Dec 23, 2009: " i used your picture at: http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4b3273ea35baf/---come-here--my-lady-.html . thanks!"

I'm just not sure why her hand is green. I see it's the source but doesn't work for me I guess...

very good...

super cool image but it looks like you only used the doll. you need more of the source

Uber moody, but the dark figure is hard to see against the dark tree...

Very minimal source used. I imagine you are new author and when it comes to source photoshop contests, it's ideal to use a lot more than you have.

... okay, i guess i made a mistake. I'm not new to this site, and i was aware that the provided source could be used in any way, there's not much more of the source i can add to this image, but thanks for your comments.

Author, you used the source image. What part you choose to use is up to you, and IMHO you used it well.

Thank you very much Nator and CMYK. Nator - i brightened up the Santa as much as i could, but unfortunately the .PSD file was corrupt, and so i had to do it straight on the JPEG. I hope it still looks okay.

Finall result is great but this is minimal use of source...

congrats matteo!
