hahahahahahaha...what a cool crazy image...best of luck author

i really mixed and manipulated this time

Super clever animal placement and excellent source blending.
Very nice work

You've done a good work hiding them.

Great work, I was looking at the tree and all of the sudden I saw all the Gnomes, and wow, good blending, looks like this too a while. = )

The gnomes where drawn in which made blending really easy! Tee hee - it was a fun image to do. It did take quite a bit of time but I could have gone on and on and on.

I am dying to see if anyone has found the bonus creature?

Oh boy.. flash back to the hospital waiting room paging through a Highlights magazine LOL

I was thinking about that sort of thing. I loved these puzzle pictures as a child (okay, I admit, I still like them). It was fun to create one of my own. Only trouble is I knew where everything was so couldn't look for it

lots of work is invested here...gl author

Congrats my friend on 1st!!!

Congrats Arca lovely work

COngrats for your first place Arca, great job!

This is incredible. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way this was constructed. Its a beautiful world you created. My favorites are the wolf and the fairy.

He looks so sad ... you have really given him a personality!

Ya...I remembered a scene from Toy Story 3; when woody is going to leave whole gang back, when bullseye follows him and that time he has that sad look on his face. And also as I have kept his neck a bit downward, it makes his sad look appropriate to that posture.

Very cute, I knew what it was right away before even reading the title (Just bought Toy Story 3 myself hehe). Great job!

TOY STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!

Ya thanks.....I am glad you guys like it.

so cool work...best of luck author

NOW THAT IS ONE HUGE BUTTERFLY!!! My favorite. Good job!

nic 1....

Nice idea, I bet they would have to tell each other a lot and good choice for the background, it adds a dreamy feeling to it.
I have a few suggestions on how to improve it
The train and the butterfly are both very pixelated and blurry in the high res. I think it would look better, if you'd replace both with a less pixelated version. You also forgot to cut out two white parts from the background of the butterfly. Next to the front legs and between the body and the legs. And maybe you could also think about the position of the train on the tracks. The "wheels" (no clue, how the English word is) are not on the track at the moment. They are pretty much directly in one line with the white lights, so it might look better, if you either make the train bigger or the tracks smaller. If you wanted it like this, just ignore that part
Good luck!

Thanks a lot for this suggestion, Elke ! I'll work on it as soon as possible

EDIT : I made some changes

It has a nice vintage feel to it. Nice

great work author...very nice mood...vest of luck

great work ! g l

Love this image. Well done!

Nice image, GL

Great creation,but IMHO this is more pop up book...i don't see this as OOB...good luck author

Great lighting & shadows...hope this is considered on theme!

Well I can't really see why it's not on theme. The caterpillar/mushroom and salamander are coming out of the pictures in the book into the forest. It's just not the standard "stuff coming out of a frame into a room" image. I wanted to do something special with a story to it. Thanx for you comments!

hhahhaha one of the better in this contest!

nice shadow work

In my oppinion, this IS on theme, completely! Very beautiful work, with a fantastic mood. GL!

Thanks all!

congrats for the 4th place
