The light reflection "spot" is misplaced and makes no sense. It should be a reflection of the sun shining on the planet, not an odd, squarish light spot.
There is also no light reflection/refraction from the flame, which is so bright that it would be MUCH lighter along the bubble "edge," not a dull orange that barely shows on the bubble at all.

there are many ways you can suggest someone about their work.people do not come here for getting a rough criticism about their work..most of us come here for have some fun and learn something through competition s.There are many ways you can help someone to improve their works.But hurting their emotions is definitely not the way.It never works.words like"makes no sense" only disappoints a participant nothing more..u may have much knowledge about photos , lighting,and reflections but there are many friendly ways to admit those.I always appreciate your honesty..but always be careful how u admit them.

You are not in training . I received a couple of slaps on all weeks.

ACTUALLY IT'S HARD TO FIND THE BUBBLE ON YOUR PIECE, AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE OFFENDED AS THIS CRITICISM WAS NOT ROUGH AND BESIDES MossyB POINTED TO YOUR MISTAKES. YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID "THANK YOU" AND CORRECT YOUR MISTAKES.

It's an obvious technical flaw, and I pointed it out.
Comments are just that. I commented on what I observed, which is incorrect light reflections on your bubble. Whether or not you choose to agree, or get hurt feelings is YOUR response, which I have no control over.
This is a competition site, and while we all come here to have fun, it's not a day care, and part of submitting your work for public comment means having a thick enough skin to not whinge when your technical mistakes are pointed out. If you cannot endure any criticism, you can always not elect to allow public comments.
I do not need to "be careful" in stating what I see. Perhaps you need to be more careful in what you render.

well Its not about my feelings sure its not because I am with this site about 1.5 year almost.so my skin is thick enough while guys like you around.well its more a COMMUNITY then a competition site IMO, thats what i wanted to say.where competitions are fun ,scoring points are fun also.I have received many criticisms since I am here, I always appreciate those ,but is it sensible in a community to admit your suggestions way like this.?..and @ANDROLA I have said in my previous comment that"I always appreciate your honesty"..so I guess I thanked him/her there,but what I wanted to say I don't really like the "way" he/she suggest, not just mine only.

Author is partially right,Mossy, you always sound way too serious when commenting, that's cause you never use smileys and have no avatar (anti-social written all over ).
Although I honestly dislike when someone points to my mistakes even though they are 100% right (and they even use smileys and avatar), the thing i hate the most is having a low or average score and no one telling me why.
You should be (somehow) glad that Mossy commented and believe that she has no hidden interest in making you feel bad. And she was pretty much right, so..if you have time, you could try to improve your entry.

LOL. I can see the bubble. Yes your work needs a little work author, and Mossy's comments are here to help you. (as are every one elses)

Though she(are you a she Mossy, LOL) tends to sound like a robot, very impersonal, but as greymval said she has no avatar and doesn't use smileys, i would if i knew how

Don't take it to heart.

Keep up the good work, we can only learn from our mistakes and sometimes others guidance.

Members who suggest how your image could be better are doing you a favor. If you choose to be insulted by their comments, you had better be a genius who can afford to ignore them. In this case you are not.

why you guys misunderstanding me ?I didn't feel insulted, I always appreciate those suggestion come to me ,they always help me to improve my my work am grateful to you guys,
But there should be a little respect for the work while you suggesting someone ..thats all what I wanted to say

I am probably one of the most sensitive people around....even I didn't think MossyB's comment was a "rough criticism" EVEN without smileys! Why should people have to put smileys after a sentence? How about people just think about the many ways the sentence can be construed and pick the most favorable one?! People always think the worst first. I think MossyB said things constructively politically correct!
By the way author, I like the whole image except for the fingers. It looks as though the fingers have been burnt. I'm not sure if that is what you were going for, but it just doesn't look right

"It's up to us as the authors to decide what works best in the end"-spaceranger and I believe in this and feel like this way.

Great idea author,and fantastic execution...your made small mistake in writing,it should be wrote "public enemy"...best of luck

>erathion,........oopz,......that's silly,.........but, just consider that during the period of the so called wild west time, most people there were less uneducated, so to speak............LOLS and LOs......

very true buddy...LOL...

Very nice. Quite a simple idea really but very well executed. Well done.

Great textures to look antique. And, I kind of like the spelling error. As author said, probably many people didn't have a great education back then, so this might have happened. That guy really looks rough!!! GL

This is a good job. I only have one observation: the edges of the hat shouldn't be maybe so evenly washed out. The text has some parts less visible, "erased", some are more pronounced and that's ok, I think it should apply to the hat too...

Fun idea. Text on top of the image seems anachronistic, plus it makes a key part of the message hard to read. Stencil font for the 'WANTED' also seems out of place. (That must be one bad dude to warrant such a huge reward back when a dollar was actually worth something!)

Nice work! One of the best I've seen and a unique idea. This definitely defines the Wild West. GL!

great work!

Yep, that stuff! Good luck...

Eyes not very Avatar-ish,this blue spot looks like they circulating around he's face...nose is good...

I think you should watch avatar one more time, observe, and maybe find a tutorial helping you making the avata-ish( hehe erathion) feeling

good one!

For me it seems more like a traffic jam on vacation days...

Changing the background and making a real finish line and adding a crowd watching would improve your scores..

Good one....

Congrats!
