Nice image! The shadow of the frog on the wall is wrong. You have the light source coming from lower right, which is impossible. The light on the foreground frog is from upper right, just the opposite. Make the adjustment and this will be a great image. GL author.

The shadow is changed. Thanks Bob!

A lot of great entries..this is one of them!!
FAV!!..the frog in the back reminds me of RAMBO..
Cool Chop! GL author.

what they said..

try adding some shadows on the girls body

hahaha :P

I added some shadow to the girl, i hope it helps.

WTF! was my first reaction...., but in a good way. It made me laugh alot.

So thanks for the laugh.

Good job and good luck.

the statue should cast a shadow on her leg and body.

I don't know why this was removed the first time, but I'm sorry to see it return. There are just too many technical flaws to go into because the basic concept isn't worth it. I hate to pick on this particular entry, but it's an example of the downward trend of images on this site in general.

ma cmyk46 am crezut caci u are my romanian brother from another mother. Mai insultat foarte mult. Dar am sa incerc mai bine next time. ce trebuie sa fac ca sa fie mai bine?

author the chosen sources dont work really well with eachother I think that's one of the big problems with this work.

Author I don't think most of us understand your comment. I ran it through Babylon translate:" I cmyk46 have thought because U has my Romanian Brother from another mother. More insulting very much. But I will try better next truth: what to do that to be better?" I guess that's close to what you meant to say. You can find language help from members in the help menu at the top of the page. CMYK46 is known to speak his mind and I think he's only being honest though you may find it harsh he doesn't seem to be alone in his opinion.
As for your comment Bob with so many newbies just learning we will see beginner level work, best to try and help with comments and by example.

i would like to have seen you try to make the woman and the other additions to the statue more stone like in look. otherwise this is not working for me. good luck!

Haha very funny idea, extra point for the funny composition.

Objects need shadows.

ohh thanks

Making the tail bigger might ground her more, but hell.. it's a fantasy image so what ever you see in your minds eye is okay with me.. (I just see the tail bigger and more powerful to move her body torso) GREAT JOB AND GOOD LUCK .... IMHO

its done driven hope its ok like this

Nice work author. The mermaid part feels a bit lacking in shape.

Good choice of poem. Can't say the same about the font.
EDIT: Font looks much better now. GL author.

Glad ya like it, the new font is Century.

Very nice tribute to a horrible tragedy.

Source for background scene by Nemo's great uncle at flckr.com

So sorry, but contest shut down before I was able to post my SBS. To explain briefly, the fish is created from source using first the liquify warp tool to create fins, bloat tool for mouth and eye. Smudge tool smoothed shapes together. Noise and scratches filters were used for textures, and clone tool further shaped the upper body of the fish. Soft brush tool created soft swirls and shapes toward bottom of the scene.
