I really like this, but am thinking the arrow looks a lot newer than the metal of the heart, perhaps you could consider tarnishing it up a bit, but it looks great now.

I like the idea...... and good result... good luck to you...

i love this !!!

Very nice chop...good luck

It seems a painful break-up to me...

nice work

Good

nice and simple

Good

good luck

Nice shadows, nice construction... There is a black outline around the flowers, but other than that, this is a very nice image. Good luck!

Edit: Author, it's your image, and it's great, you don;t have to change a thing

Pretty combination of colors, but when flowers are 'flipped', shadows should be changed.

>artgirl.thanx......forgot all about that bit, I have made some changes now. > Ponti......yes, I see th edark lines, but when I was looking at the pic in cs, it looked like they might pass as light / shadows from the lighting above..

wow

overall nice image, the flowers in front of the vase throw it off a little bit, maybe show more stem or more of the top of the vase? it just kind looks like it's jumping out..other than that nice image

Wow...Lovely.....superb...

Great image!!! nicely done!

Very nice, great representation of your idea.

this is a lovely image

Maybe not the most original use of source...but very nicely done! And some sort of a conflict in shadows...the vase is throwing a shadow behind while the flower and the ring box have a shadow in front. Also the shadow of the vase is less defined than the rest, it almost looks like just some dark spots! Best of luck!

> nellista...the position of the shadow would depend upon where I intended the light to be coming from.........however, I do agree with you about the density of some of the shadows. My intention was that the shadows from the buds would not be to heavy, so as not to take over the shot. I deliberately made the stem shadow a little heavier, to give some impression of the shape of the stem itself. As for originality........it is original to me, as I have never done anything like this before. Thank you for your input...;

>Nator....strangely, I considered this option, but when I looked at it, it looked bare and lacking..........hence the stemmed bud and the ring.

Very cool work, almost looks like a picture.

Not bad, try to darken the skin up some so they don't look quite so pale.

Thank you Anjii, I fixed, darkened faces, indeed it is better now.

It still looks a little too painted on, especially the woman.

their faces look like they're really well painted. which is not necessarily a good thing

they look so California

too much.......make up on the lady

a challenging task author. GL

nice

So...so cool. Excellent use of source.

nice colors! Yummy, the ones at the bottom look like Jelly Belly's. The arms kinda look like my brother's wooden leg though ;o

very cool

eye candy, nice work Author

Nice use of source. My eyes are exhausted!

god damn you and your entries... they make me laugh right away... lol

i love the colors...

Wow, great detail and an EXTREMELY creative use of source.

i love the little eggs!! very good work!!

I could tell who you are by the stylebefore I even voted ,but sorry I have to say.. that I do not like this image, because I just can't see this as a piece of art... the colors and the arrangement of things are not m=pleasing of the eyes... sorry

neverlander.. it's okay to have an opinion... it's yours and that is wonderful (and knowing it's my work is the greatest compliment of all) the original title of the Piece was going to be RACISM... but we are told not to get politcal in the regular contests... hehehe.. but thank you for your honesty (I've never been a fan of color swatches at a paint store.. as you can tell, It's all I ever did when framing art at the gallery or decorating a house)

and never be sorry for an opinion if it comes from an honest heart

He-he, this one is totally crazy, that's why I love it so much

Creative

Sure are a lot of egg shapes, all right....

This is a very interesting composition. Mixing the earth tones with the bright colors is a nice touch.

superb job !!colourful,mystic and lively.very unique
