I like the idea but I think the two elements used could be made to look a lot more natural. Just a bit more blending and colour matching.

in step 5 i see a very intriguing character .. but it is your vision.. good luck, unique image

I made alot of different things using the source image, one of them would be the : itruguing character" seen in step 5. Also i made alot of flowers and a few more animals. I just did not want to put all of them in the image. As that would be overkill in my eyes. Personally i like it best, this way.

And for step5: thatsjust a bonus, wich i wanted to show aswell. i just put it in there in 2 seconds and added the text to thank people for taking the time and watch the step by step.

Thanks for commenting.

To be honest I like the character in step 5 mentioned by Drivenslush (thnx for noticing that) more probably because it brings the image in a better balance. Now at the middle left side of the image you have a whole lot of water where nothing happens, there's nothing to see yet it drags your attention away fro the things you created.

I choose to have this setup, because for me this gives a peacefull feeling. No stress, no chaos just space and creatures flying swimming walking. Doing their own thing.

That's what it means to me and thats how i want people to see it. Even tho it can be hard to see it this way, because the world we are living in is made into an often stressfull, chaotic world.

Keyword: "often".

Thanks for your comment.

It looks too green in tone, and is casting no shadow at all onto the grass, which makes its front feet look missing.

The mane kinda looks out of place & the tail needs some work. Adding some shadows might help.

Nice image, i think the frame is a bit distracting though, i would also suggest making the fog a little less opaque.. great job otherwsie! Good luck

The bug in the middle looks pasted on: you should fix the edges a bit.

this looks like a giant glass wondow at a Zoo... it's really a neat effect

nice work.gl

I have those spiders living in the tree in my backyard. I have photos of them. I had to lay in the grass under the tree to get them, though. Eww. But it was fun. I love this image.

Interesting change, but now the image seems really crowded and clumped.. good luck though.

Ponti I'm going for the crowded look

Ahh sorry, well in that case you've done it perfectly!

ughhhhhh....great chop but.....im not wanting to be there
