Very nice

author.. only if you have time.. think about flipping the tree to enclose around the house and the swings to hold it in.. just an idea.. right now it seems the whole image is spreading out (especially the smoke rings) it's like your eyes are going out ward instead of holding the viewer's attention (IMHO)... Its a really well done chop.. but if the tree was OVER the house it would give you a much more stable composition.. (you know.. the Last Supper.. where everyone in the pic is focused on a central subject.. the great JC).. just a suggestion.. good work here and good luck and great job at managing so many sources...

Wonderful idea. Though I do agree with Drivenslush but I think the author's intention was to hang the swinging benches over the edge of the cloud. Maybe if the house and tree were a little closer together or the smoke were to drift towards the tree, it would close the composition a little more.

Drivenslush and Mad, thx for constructive comments, that's the idea, you let the chairs out of the cloud...

Very cute, but agree that the image is too spread out, with too much negative space.

Nice work

very cool image author...love the bright positive feel on your creation...best of luck

Love it!

wonderful, good luck!!

Slushy's comment nailed it IMO ... very clever work but composition is a little disturbing. Good image all the same.

Very nice surreal image.. gl

My fav in the contest..gud luck author

Beautiful imagination.... good work. GL author.

Congrats, wonderful work

Congrats

Congrats....a wonderful dreamy image.

congratulations...

Congrats!!

congratulations...

The edges of the smoke are very sharp at the moment, maybe feather the edges or go around it with a soft eraser at a low opacity.

funny

#agree with ponti! also some glowing ember would be a nice effect! however... a good idea!

nice piece author...gl

No matter how I look at your image and the source image, I can't see that you've used the smoke from the source image. Maybe you could expand the SBS and show that?

THX cmyk for your suggestions! I've changed it!

very nice...final product is great author...love the smoke explanation in SBS...gl

BEAUTIFUL!!! This is certainly a fav in my book!

Congrats for 3rd

Congrats...

Congratulations!

thx thx thx!

I love fantasy type pictures and movies, and i think this is great : )

Light on foreground (star hut) is from right, light on middle ground (landscape) is from left, and your light source (sky) doesn't match either. Good idea, though...

Great design,really like it

Nice idea gl.

very nice concept and cool mood...with few adjustments this could be great entry...Bob is right about lighting's,try to guide by his advices...best of luck

Really nice artistic vision and nice composition. However, is it a door or is it light coming through an open doorway? If it's a door i wouldn't expect a trail of light to be flooding out onto the floor, and if it's light then i'd suggest working more on the colour.

Nice blend! GL!

Don't know how I missed this entry...It's AWESOME!!!

Nice colors as always... Quit smoking, alien crab! There's no air in Mars, you'll suffocate!!!

Nice composition

Lovely! I like that smoking thing!

great work author...fantastic execution

Cool techno crab and the background is fantastic

Could this be called a pipe dream? Sort of like a nighmare only not quite as scary! Great work!
