I gotta say I watched Mega Python vs. Gatoroid the other night (one of those so bad it's good movies...anyway) Your graphic skills far exceed those of the MP vs G special effects team!

A bit too much white shine on the creature - tone that down, and this will be awesome!

thanks MossyB, i was thinking of doing that just did not find the time yet

wonder if that could be a 4th stage for Toadadile the Pok e' mon?

its sure isn't the 4th stage of pikachu

'Poke'... mon. XD

perfect expression !

easily a page from a science-fiction story book.. great idea...

you are great at finding appropriate 'people' (the goalie n the other guy) for this image

the sand-dune/mountain can be improved (look cut-out at the edges), should add sand-spray and Turtledile hits the ground

shadows of the men can improve (blur it)

asheman, thanks for your feedback.
did improve the shadow of the bottom man (the upper man is in the dune image and was my reference to the shadow).
about the dune, i looked at dune images as a reference and the upper border is very sharp, yet i smudged it a little bit.
about the sand spray, did had some before in front the Turtledile and strengthen it a bit a more as you suggested.

Love the liquid fish

NIce work...very imaginative

Everything's good except the lens flare.

very nice image..... love this fantasy job

This just has to be viewed in Hi Res ... very well done, especially the whirlpool! This is (also) a favourite of mine in this contest! Good SBS as well.

Any child will fall in love with this picture

FABulous fishie, and love the vortex idea, great image!

Congratz for 1st place!

Congratulations on a great entry!

You have a very good Imagination.

Monster should be making monster ripples!

I like the concept, but the proportions make this look really weird. The ship (and possibly the iguana monster) is too large for its position in relation to the shoreline.

Also, the "mood" shadow in the LH corner echos the sea monster too much, which combined with the down slope of the hill on the right, draws the eye down and off the side of the composition rather than bringing it back to the *oversized* boat.

Very nice...

Cool concept.

The anatomy is somewhat off - Hands too small, eye holes too high, legs disproportionately and inconsistently fat/thin, but a creative idea.
