I love your entry but it needs one more adjusting, the planet in source 8 is someone elses photoshop work and you cant use it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/imaginedreality/170835601/in/photostream
also wheres the uncut photo of the girl? the on in the steps already has it cut.

I do love this image, the colors and the composition, the subject. its just fantastic great work and yes please do see this in highres its definately worth it.

OH THANKS ELADINE!!! I didn't even notice that, I'll get on replacing that planet right away! Also, I'll have to dig up the original photo too, I didn't save it unedited in the file I worked on. I may have to go back to the raw file and redevelop one.

And thanks Nator I might mess around with that a bit

I can just see this in poster format or in the postcard racks... you know those postcards with the special metalic printing? this would be so nice with that. beautiful work.

OH YES!! I know exactly what you mean about the metallic printing, that would be SO AWESOME!
Thanks again for your help! I ended up using the same moon picture used for the middle planets, to remake the one in the corner. I think it looks much better now anyway
Also I added the original pic to my SBS.

@ Nator, good suggestion, I made her a bit more "glowy" and added some more smoke and little glowing particles!

People should check out the hires before voting. It's really a treat at high res. Nice work as usual author!

Thanks pixelkid!! And yes I feel like this piece doesn't have the same impact in the smaller image as it does in hires

That's a wonderful image..love the idea and the result..hi res is a must see..Great job author!

well done ! fav!

Nothing much to say, fantastic as usual

Nicely done, author!

THANKS everyone!!!

gratz well deserved!

Congrats Rob , beautiful work

THANKS EVERYONE

Congrats for the gold!

THANKS!

like ur concept....

gud job

Clever and amusing. The planets need more shading to appear less flat and more like 'marbles' in the box. The back half of Saturn's rings should be inside the box bottom. (I like the slits in the box cover for the front half of the rings.) The labeling on the cover side is extremely bland [euphemism for 'boring']. Something shorter like "The Planets in a Box" spread across the entire front in colored, kid-friendly type would be more appealing.

LOVE IT! Especially the crossed out "Pluto."
Simply Excellent. I hope you win with this one!

Great work author.
My only suggestion would be that Uranus has rings too.

Pluto should still be a planet IMO

Love it! Did you consider taking the balck out from the centre of Saturn's ring? s oyou could see the box behind it instead of space?

it is very nice and new good luck

Edited a little (hope thats okay!), thanks everybody for your crits and comments. I need to work on my ability to shade.

itgik, I hated Uranus for having rings after I did Saturn, but they are comparitivly mild so I decided not to include them . I agree with Pluto, keeping it for old times sake, but damn I didn't know how many other Pluto sized objects there are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:EightTNOs.png

nice idea and good chop Author I want one.

Nice 1! GL!

Great concept author...And i like Pluto idea so much...LOL...best of luck

Very clever and original ... Poor Pluto!

Modern but mysterious...

I like the idea and the sunrise in the center and the rays of light but it anoys me that you just flipped the timeline, the (2345678)thing . Pretty good result aside from that .

I like the mood of this

Nice work...GL

Good Luck with your creation!!

Good Luck with your creation......
