Amazing work of Art author! Nice work!

'spell-binding'... just don't like the swirl background

Lovely duck, nice use of the source, good luck!

Nice colors. Like the Twirl background. GL.

Love the glow effect on the duck! Nice work author!

Cool duck, spellbinding background, very cool way you made the head.

Awesome duckling

Great concept, but a bit too heavy on the filter effects, especially the poster edges. You might try painting the dark artifacts out a bit more.

I really like it! At first glance I though it was from one source because it blends so well. nice job

Yeah I definitely overdid it with filter effects haha.
I spent too much time on trying to get the different levels of photo quality to match up and used filters as a way out. But hey, not bad for a first entry.
And thanks, Bryonics!

When images like this are taken to a printer (with proper resolution) a giant banner comes out super great.. good luck author.. nice image (looks like a History Channel Episode)

Great lure design! Had to look up 'bandicooter' - wiki says they're marsupials... does this lure catch them? lol, wonderful creation.

hehe it's Bandicoot, but I added the er for cooter pie ..LOLOLOL

this is soo beautiful!!!

think it is great.. the hook color can be more silver, than blue-green

cooter pie

nice work

That is a nice work...... the hook looks real. GL!!!!

soft u can feel it....wanna go fishing ?? great job

Real eye candy. Nice work author!

Congrats on second, Slushy. This made me want to head on down to the river.

It's so Lovely..I LOVE it.. Especially the reflection inside it..

There are some "smudgy" dark artifacts along the inner eyelid edges that are slightly detracting, especially along the top, but this is a very original idea, I especially light the subtle bird reflection in the eye.

awesome work...

Wow, it's either a very difficult plastic surgery or very sophisticated mascara. She could be a phoenix goddess with beautiful eyelash. In my opinion, it might be nice to have fine shadow underneath the eyelash to make it a bit more realistic. Apart from it, it's a very nice work

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions!! I take them all on board, thanks.

nice..

I am with MossyB with the smudge and all but I must say you did a wonderful work author as well! best of luck!

Congrats!!

Nice Congrats

Beautiful effect, but the text is too hard to read and distracting from the image.

nice work gl author..!!

this is fantastic author..love it

Very nice work, author. The type following the same curve as your penwork is a very retro element, and the floral elements and grunge effects, especially the dot pattern, brings me back to the 'old days' of printing.

Many thanks to all for the support

Congrats !

congrats...
