great idea (Do you think you could isolate her a bit?, Outer glow blur or soft dodge on her edges, she's looking a bit flat to me, (But that could be my eyes, they suck).. great Idea and very good luck author (All IMHO of course) (the person in the muck is pretty funny LOL) good luck

Thanks for the comment i add some contrast and saturation also i soft dodge it. I looks a lil bit dif xD

n1ce work author..

If you lighten & desaturate the background a bit, the blacks in the soldier woman will stand out from the background. As it is, there's no depth. The skulls just look pasted on, and kinda silly. This image has potential.

I like the idea author, but it seems you bit off a little more than you could chew with this one. Keep practicing i see a lot of potential, with your eye for the details in the design. you still need to work on your eye for the workmanship. really the only object that looks like it was placed in well is the woman with the gun. all other images are either too blurred, or have some poor masking done. A tip for masking is to always use the pen tool to mask, then to feather your selection by about 2px (depending on the size of the image), and also to contract/expand the selection slightly.

You are right, it was not over i didnt have to time to send the finish image. I got lost 2 days and the edition timing was over! Thanx for the advice

Nice image ....your links must lead to the images you've used, not the authors gallery

Author, you can easily find two similar images to use, then resubmit. There are plenty of girls & lions out there.

Author, if you spoke the owner of the girl image about it, and the owner approved, then the only thing you have to do is make a screenprint from the owner's approval (I assume you asked by mail or PM) and put that in the SBS (and make sure that your own name does not appear in the screenprint). Then there shouldnt be a problem. Or as CMYK says, replace the images for other legal sources. Good luck!

This is very good, author. Have you thought of uploading Hi-res??

Perfect! Much better now Good luck!

Although is a matter of taste i like this lightened version much more then previous one ..Good luck author..!!! p.s i think i can remember the girl's stock......nice choice

Love the details, very good job at blending both subjects.

You still haven't posted the uncut image of the girl, or a link to it.

This is a lovely work. The only problem is the shadow on the right hand cheek of the girl. It is too pronounced in comparison to the other shadows on that side, and makes the lion look like a photo that she has her face next to. If you lighten that just a bit more, so that the edges blend better, it will be more consistent with the other edges on the right hand side, and make the image more integrated. Still, a very good chop!

i ll provide the sbs soon.

wow,, great job,,

thanx

really fantastic!

Very cool, I like the use of colors. Just wondering what is on the Deer's nose? it tongue perhaps? You might want to think about removing that. And a starry sky might be cool to

Thank you guys for the positive and negative comments, just what i need to explore further..

This is a nice image. I am giving it a good vote. However, an SBS always helps in that area and would probably bump it up a few more points for me.

In photoshop the SBS is mandatory I thought, just heads up for the next contest. I would like to know where the source was used here since it's not obvious.

@ Emik sbs is only enforced if no external sources are used

Nice image author
