Tried to redo it to include more of the source image. Made a gnarled tree to replace the sword. Tree used two carrot selections and the carrot leaves. IMO, I liked the original better and considered it some of my best work but since it mainly got criticisms for source use I wanted to change it up to something which might be more acceptable. I'll update the SbS soon. (5 years and 2944 days ago)
great entry, good luck!
You need to post links to all sources used, or post your own uncut photos in the SBS.
And BTW, I have no idea how the carrot source or stylus were used in your image, despite the SBS.
Oops sorry I didn't main to publish it yet, not sure how that happened. I'm working on the SBS right now but it might take a bit, its lengthy.
All done!
I still don't see where u used provided contest source image author...If u are new on PXL please read rules and guidelines...http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/
Mushrooms around sword, stepping stones in creek, mushrooms on bank next to creek.
Oh and the "lashes" around dragon eyes. Steps 20 and 21 show this.
its a nice composition, but i cant really tell where you used the original source provided for the contest.
The use of the carrot leaves in the background is almost negligible, since you can't make out what they are. This is a lovely image, but the use of the contest source photo is very, very hard to discern within it. Submitting it to the stylus contest would be more logical, since you can somewhat make out that contest source image...Still, an excellent effort, combining many disparate images into a cohesive picture.
You can't tell what things are because carrots and radishes wouldn't make sense in an image like this. I blended and changed colors. The stepping stones are quite clear and those were the tops of the radishes. The mushrooms are also clear, carrot bottoms and radish tops. Everything was blurred slightly to keep with the feel of the whole image. I can't enter the stylus contest because I'm not a level 15. I've seen many images with the source image hidden so well that looking at it without an SBS ones lost on how it was used.
I love the image but as much where it comes to use of source image i cant really give a high score
Howdie stranger!
