sure are getting some beautiful manipulations with this source.. AWESOME!!!!!

this is beautiful work, I love how you made the feathers look soft.

nice birds.....

Thank you for your comments...

Author... you know what I think about your works... with no words! One of my favorites!

imo you painted too much over the birds to see the source clearly but the flowers are WELL done

Lovely bird scene, great work.

Lovely!

Nice birds and great flowers.

loving this...amazing work.

amazing

i love the flowers ! great entry

Very pretty entry, Good Luck in this contest.

Congrats on 4th and for using your own work

congrats george55... well tried...

nice birds

nice birds

Nice...but couldn't you have done this with ANY picture?

post an SBS, and maybe try to add more depth to the shapes

Edit; SBS stands for Step By Step Guide

minimal source used, IMO (in my opinion)

Mine too, Joshua. This really needs an SBS or it could get disqualified.

and where is the celtic cross?

thank u guys for ur comments

this image depends on shaping and painting .

i created all this stuff from small piece of celtic cross

well,i will upload a step by step guide

hmm... did you really need the Celtic cross in order to create this image? perhaps you could have had the bird you created sitting on the cross instead of a branch... either way imo the source was not used at all... only the color white was used.

Sorry, but you didn't use the cross. I agree with bjaockx---you used the color white. I think you're missing the point of what a photoshop contest is meant to be--just look at other people's entries.

well, this is what i can do and i am happy with this ,may be the other entries about photo manipulation but this is my art
its not problem if i create all this stuff from small piece of original image

this is pretty much CBR

author.. if you are not after votes that is totally respected in my book.. I find some times it's better to go against the flow and you will retain you're own unique style...BUT if you do want higher votes you can just introduce the source into the back ground (where it looks LIKE the source) but this is totally up to you.. but I do ask you NOT to throw your hands up and say.. Oh this site is buggar.. I would like to see MORE of your work.. so I can have a better base field of judging your work (not that I judge.. I'm too busy Yapping LOL) (and I never do well.. LOL. but that's what I like about me..)

Still your color choice on this piece are quite wonderful.. the over all balance of powder blue with the baby pink is quite pretty)

good LUCK!!!

I think the crisper flowers overpower the pale, ghostly bird and become the focus of attention.

nice concept but waaaay too blurry

hang in there Author

(GMTCBR)........... just kidding....... gl

Light & shadows need work, ie: no shadow behind plant, etc.

He's all squishy

Cute!...

Great work...very well done author

from this PoV i disagree with cmyk about the shadow on the flower, esp with the rock in the way. i really think this is the best one so far. i think the lighting could use a little work though, seems a little too bright on the head, but it's better than i could do

Great!

waaaaawwwwwww.............

Lot of apreciation instead of comments....

this is so nice, would make a great illustration for a children's book.
