A bit too much filter.

It's the effect i wanted sorry you don't like it CMYK46

Well done! Filters are not a sin, I think you used them judiciously.
I do think the hands are a bit too big and too bright, though. The right hand looks like it comes from a man...

Cool job!!! Never would have thought of this!

I find this has an alien quality to it ... almost like something from "Species". I don't know if that is what you where going for but either way it is a fascinating image!

I agree with arca and MossyB, it does look alien, and especially looks like she has a tail, and the hand is a bit too big. But I do like this picture very much, great idea. I too do not have a problem with the filters, I think it gives it a cool (literally) effect.

I should say that the hand is the real hand of this pretty pregnant woman so i cannot make it smaller sorry. Thanks to all for your comments !

Well done!

WOW what a great creation...well done author

Fantastic image author Good luck.

Thanks to all for your comments !

Wow really? She has a HUGE hand! lol. Well in that case, nevermind. GL, author!

Congrats Lolu...

Thanks Erathion

There is a clear line between where the insect stops and the giraffe neck starts which makes it less convincing, they don't quite match in size or colour either.

LOL!

I know the giraffe's neck was short, but don't stretch it cause the spots look weird. Either copy paste and blend a part of the neck to continue either make a blend between the mantis neck and the giraffe.
You'll have to blend the fore members too.

cool idea author, u could create some curves on giraffe's neck...

very nice -- like the stitched effect

great work. it is very creative how you used the hand to come up with this cool image, I love it

Very pretty!

I like how this one pops, there is a real perception of depth in this work , nice high res.

Very clever use of the hands as a texture, and agree with Lchappell regarding the depth. Looks also like a tapestry.

Beautiful, like a Persian carpet

good thing author...gl

Congrats for your third place, Lolu!

Congrats Lolu...

The filter effect on the foreground looks very inconsistent with the background. You should either make it all filtered or none.

Ya i re-edited ..,its new one ..,thank you..,

You just used the grass?

ya its grass..,but i gave some filter effect to the grass..,thank u.,

nice one..

thank u sivakbio..,

The heart cutout is too large, it makes the heads look almost totally disconnected from the body.

Love the concept!

Thanks arca
