Incredible! The detail is amazing! Fantastic work...

Beautiful image. I'd suggest trying to create more depth between the arm and body, but this was a difficult source to work with, and you pulled it off.

as the father would say on everybody loves raymond... HOLY CRAP!!!.. excellent concept as well as image.. woo HOOO

Mysterious!

simply...wow

This is just...wow...wow...WOW!!!! This is one of the best entries I've seen on the site since I re-opened my account here 3 weeks ago. I see a winner here...I'm not exaggerating (I hope not). Amazing work, author. AWESOME.

Just to clarify, some more shadow on the arm between the wrist & upper arm would create that depth. Again, a lovely work.

You just knw a top entry wen u see one..nice job author

congrats on getting first place.... lol

note: check your shadows ABOVE the shoulder that you didnt mask out completely... you gots a hard edge..

Simply wonderful and resulted from a hard, time consuming work, I think. The only thing I'm wondering is the perspective of the arm, it looks unnatural. The length of the arm should be longer and the hand should be smaller. Just my opinion in case you want to make the human look, otherwise it's very very good.

Awesome work

Maybe a bit to psycedelic tho.

I didn't think there was such a thing as TOO psychedelic.

There's no such thing as TOO psychedelic...Lodd, you just need better drugs!

nice.

Not bad. If you flip the canoe image, it will receive the same light source as the source image.(from the right upper corner). Good luck!

Thanks wazowski, you're right! I've flipped the canoe. Hope it looks better now

Nice pic, but the boaters look huge and the reflection is kinda unrealistic. Good luck

nice

Thanks Barnacle! I tried to resize the boater and worked some more on the reflection. Hope it looks more realistic now

agreed with barnacle.. also, slightly feather the images, and add a blur, or more blur filter to the boaters so that the resolution matches with the rest of the image. a crispy high res on a dull low res, or not as crisp image stands out and doesnt blend well... it makes it looks as if you just placed them, and thats exactly what you did. fix that and i think it would be much improved (at least in the high-resolution version)

I like this, but I feel it would be better if the rainbow went behind the dune and wasn't as prominent on the left side near the ground. Good job.

EDIT: Never mind what I said...it makes sense...duh!!! Good job author!

Thanks pixelkid! I've tried to follow your suggestion. Also did a little bit correction on the boater. I guess this is the best I can :P

EDIT :
Pixelkid: Hehe.. I'd rather have the rainbow touching the water, because the idea is that the couple is canoeing to try to "catch the rainbow".Thanks for your encouraging comment!
