Nice concept and interesting use of source. Might have made the rocks in the background a little darker/shaper to match those in the foreground but that is just a small nitpick. Like your concept!

In order to get depth into the image, faraway rocks couldn't be the same intensity as the foreground rocks. Thanks for your thoughts, however.

Nice abstract piece, wouldn't have ever thought there was any food in there Good luck.

Superb idea author...this is very clever used source image...best of luck

I like this abstract piece.., nicely done

OMG, it's amazing how you see images from the simplest combinations. Salty SeaJerk Chicken futuristic food cubes and vitamin pellets!!!

so just a simple change of colors... hmm it looks nice but i think you can do much more.

I agree, a little simplistic but I do like the colour

Nice job, but the dolphins are too far up and too dark to really notice. The bright center of the sea visually dominates the image.

only to use a filter is not a photo-manipulation!

it's not only a filter. I am actually busy ryt now to upload the sbs. Photoshop cs's watercolor filter alone would not produce this effect, it's the best i can say now.

excuse me shiza it is maniped. and rules state overuse of filters not the use of them.
lets wait and see hmm?

The perspective is totally off. The original source pic is a down shot, but the bottom of the final image with the reflection is at a completely different angle with a horizon line that makes no sense.

yeah, a Hershey Kiss floating in a Calico Ocean is just demanding sense, not to mention an upper magic pool that brings forth the waves, as it stays calm, and the devils are kept at bay while the Know-it-alls fade in to non existence just like Queen Maab and her Sister.. the Lady of the Lake, thank god I have Merlin in my heart and I can never be put down no matter how hard you try (and yes, I returned Excalibur to the Lady before she faded and was blessed with coming of the Grail (runaway, runaway runaway)

Imagination.. a terrible thing to waste but oh so easy to steal from others

Viva Fille

construction of the golden thing is amazing...reminds me on tulip bulb...gl

"Imagination.. a terrible thing to waste but oh so easy to steal from others "

ha! I'm no know-it-all, h-ll I'm not even good at photoshop, but to disagree with what cmyk46 said is daring to be polite...

"two if by sea" - only if the 'art' is quality of work....

Don't know what to say ... I like this ... your reflections are wonderful and the colour is a smash. Very strange but very appealing IMO
