Awesome use of source....very creative.

Thanks for fav wood

This is what i call a good use of source, maybe too much symmetry but this can be worked out.

WOW

Nice job.

Looks empty...try to add some water effect, and fix the perspective on the window reflection...

nice work but you have to do some work on the beams. good luck

good

Nice use of source. Agree with above comments. These suggestions will help kick this out.

very nice

Congratulations

let me help you her skin is waaay too blurred. if you look at her body, or even the ear, you'll see a huge difference! you did good on removing skin imperfections as far as i can see. Also, about the teeth, i'd tone them down a bit. Just for the sake of realism.

HER TEETH are super brite and the skin tone is a bit too dark..it makes her look black light lit.. play with the background as well..that can have an effect as well (remember the episode of FRIENDS when Ross bleached his teeth.. same effect her) save your work and try a gentle glance with the dodge tool.. that might help

I agree

Looks pretty good, but too red around the eyes...

Skin is too smooth and it doesn't blend with the texture around the ears and and neck. When you use the blur tool set it to a lower opacity (10-20%) so you can control it better...Good Luck

reduce the red around eyes.. looks like an infection she has gotten from all the swimming

reduce the blurness and red color

she looks like she's been crying for days; besides what has already been mentioned I would make her eyebrows darker and no red

Good Luck

nice

Not sure that the effect on the figure is needed - more obvious in the hires. Also I get the feeling that the light source is a lot higher and on the other side so maybe flip the figure? Your call. GL

animmax..hehehe..you are very right.. why do you think I put the figure half in shade and light?.. after a while I didn't want to deal with it anymore.. (almost chucked the whole thing thinking about all the hassle that poor guy with the giant stone hand in the water had) as to flipping it..I did that about nine times and just gave up.. I just like the image so much I didn't want to chuck it (the other image was a play on picasso, and I don't think peeps are ready to see a mother and baby with eyeballs where their ears should be)

EDIT.. have to admit I hit the texture on the statue very close to the texture of the tree and I didn't borrow from the tree at all..hehehe.. I'm very proud of that LOL

I have junked a lot of entries for the very same reason..

Why texture only on the figure? Edges of reflection need to be rippled along with water surface and blurred.

there cmyk.. I put that ripple blur darkening color on the water.. and I matched it against the tree collars as best I could..

Yup, looks better!

good

nice good luck

Looks pretty nice with those colors. Maybe I'd expect some ripple effect for the reflection of the statue in the water. Compare also to the tree on the right side. It's reflection is way lighter cause it looks like it's in the light (background is covered by shade), maybe you can make the statue's reflection also a bit lighter at the top of the head(so down in the image ). Good luck!

What a find that would be.

pretty cool i like it

shoulda made this for the the other contest with the balls as well lol

Very nice work

heh nice idea good luck
