Work on the masking & blending on the giraffe.

I agree with CMYK about the giraffe...

hands,tulips,stripes fits perfectly,but giraffe is distraction,maybe to put some other smaller animal who fits better...

Now it's pretty nice!

Oh i really like this one, GL

Interesting image, imo would maybe work better without the distorted reflection. The reflection in the blood is a nice detail though. If you can try to make the top and bottom a bit more round (the sides seem to go a bit too much vertical). Good luck!

The blood is the only thing that doesn't really look right. The angle of the floor doesn't seem as steep as the angle of the blood puddle.

Hey Waz' and Jowsh' thanks for the tips, after looking at it from your view i did notice it. I have corrected your suggestions! Hope you like it and Thanks Again!

yeah that's better. GL!

Blood looks like plastic...try to color match the blocks & the hand.

Good work!

nice blend... but still as everyone above has said.. 'BLood needs work'.. Good Luck..

Nice idea and work. Agree with above blood does not work for me. Reflection is too much, fade around 50% of reflection. Where is the reflection of two seperate blocks?

OK guys, i performed a little "plastic surgery" on it... Hope this is better?

nice image,...the blood layer might have looked more realistic of you set the layer mode to color burn but still a very nice job

Good one.

I think you finally got it right, the blood that is.

Congrats,

congrats!

Congratulations on 2nd!

Congrats! for another win.

nice

Congrats for also a great second place, Buzzy!

very interesting work author turned out lovely.

thank you. i feel like something is missing though.

i think its the background. While it is pale in colour i think it might be a tiny bit distracting. First thing i looked at was the butterfly then the shadowing work. However I like it anyway but you have a week to figure out if you want to change anything anyway.

Unique idea.

Great entry!

Very original. I can see some lines, shades which are defining the shape of a gun in the image, I think they are not necessary. Please try to add a background. Keep it up Author.

Nice idea author.

this image shows artistic thinking... keep up the good work author.

I love the texture and use of source.
