Thanks Drivenslush: I watched the movie, "Take The Lead" and that tango scene was "Hot".

OMG, this is adorable! Very nice job, and I agree about the background, the simple spotlight effect works. Good contrast in color to the ants, too.

And YIKES, I watched the video, too................ *cleanup in aisle 2*

really cool

NICE! Gotta love dancing

very very nice image...love the approach author...best of luck

funny!!!

Thank you all for your comments.......!!!!

Very Tango! It really has a nice sense of movement!

now thats something amazing ..........great........

A most original concept - great job! GL

Very nice, impressive =) Good Luck !

Quite interesting.. you should crop the image where the ice-man ends, so it doesn't look like a failed mask edge. And you should anyways soften some of those huge brush edges on the mask, especially on the icemans top and under his straightened leg. Cool composition.

nice work author and great choice...gl

EDIT: Softened the water around the man, and added a splash under the right leg, and some drops on the left leg. Also lightened the water a bit.
Burned (hehe burning a fire woman? wtf? lol) the woman a bit more, so it blends better... hope so...
Also crop the image as Widiar told.
@Widiar: Thx for the constructive comment!
@Erathion and @Vlado: Thx for the support! I appreciate it!

Looks good on high resolution too now - a lot better. There is still one minor problem with the mask of the firewoman's hair, right above the hairline. You should smoothen and hide that straight line and her awesome hair looks even better. (I'm sure I'm not the only one who digs her hair..)

EDIT: Made the changes to the hair. Smudged, so the line is gone.
@Widiar: Thx again for the comment!

Creative creation. If you can rotate the woman's right upper arm a bit, it will fit better with her lower arm. Good luck!
