Good use of another contest source, and great idea for this contest.

Oh, I would like to add, though, that you seem to have a floating bunch of leaves at the very bottom right of the image.

Lol I just noticed that .. The only prooblem is that that was part of tue source.. I did nothing at all with the trees

Very funny! You need a link for the part you added to the background pic, and a high res version would be good, too.

very nice thing...good job author

This is a funny concept and looks pretty good but a high res is usually helpful. I think the rope might have looked better if you used a more conventional hemp type braided rope IMHO. It's clever how you saved yourself the mask work on the squirrel. If you want a good tutorial on this kind of mask work check out this one: http://www.pxleyes.com/tutorial/photoshop/1253/How-To-Make-Puss-in-Boots.html I found it really helpful and not too difficult with a little practice. GL!

There are lots of bricks pattern out there. Search on imageafter.com for example - cause now it looks a bit fake.
Also give depht to the window, so that it won t look like paper.
Here's an awesome tutorial about making a stone wall - use it to make your bricks real, before time runs out. http://www.lunacore.com/photoshop/tutorials/tut028.htm
Best of luck!

Nice idea, but the bars are to far from each other, so this little fella can go out when ever he want...

nice idea but i think that instead of red bricks it should have been white blocks... like real jails becuase the red bricks to me kind of represent stereotypical school house!! haha but the idea is great . good job
