Interesting idea

thanks... that is the 101 entry, as I am busy with work. Just managed to squeeze a little time

any comment is good comment (good or criticize)

Wow as far as sbs goes yours is.......why bother. It does not show any working at all.

I figured most would only need to know how I achieved the dome as the rest is fairly basic.....obviously not ...... but thanks for making your point so eloquently.

The top of the dome has a very large dark stripe, which, when combined with the shadows from the fingers on the side, hurts your "dome shape," making it look like a little dome on top of a larger dome base...

The purpose of an SBS is to serve as a "mini-tutorial" on how you achieved the image, not just a portion of it, author. You need to remember that some of our members are VERY new to PS, and effects like the skin smudging and color adjustments you made might help them learn something new...

Thank you for including the SBS ... so many people don't bother but I was happy to get an idea of how you achieved the end result ... like the painted look on the man. Very well done!

What an interesting assortment of images to make the city. Nice concept and chop, author.

Congrats again, again Geex this one is awesome

congrats!

Cool idea! Congrats!

Very clever design and Idea.. GOOD LUCK

This is adorable, but the leaf "sail" mast is behind the leaf boat, so it does not look attached...You may also want to make the ant just a wee bit smaller, as he is disproportionately large in comparison to the blades of grass.

Yep, try to have the mast attached to the leaf boat...other wise you've created a great image here. I especially like the source of the "flood" in the background. Fine work!

I've made ​​some changes, thanks for your comments

that is sooooo cute

YIPPEE!!!! JUST BEAUTIFUL!!

Very sweet and well done ! good luck author

Beautiful work. The dancer's skin is a bit too orange, though...Like she's the victim of an uneven and bad spray tan job. A bit less saturation and possibly a small percentage of a cooling filter would help her skin considerably.

Enchanting

Lovely work ... wonderful results and well done SBS!

Beautifully done! Love the transformation of the little statue.

So happy you like my ballerina! Thanks for the very kind comments.

You know that if instead of that guy you put a chick ( and it should be fairly easy to do so: change face, a bit of warp, a bit of liquify), no one will observe that the fire is unrealistic
If you then wanna fix the fire, you could try to find a lantern ( like this one : http://www.sxc.hu/photo/500803), and place the fire made out of BG's source in it: it would look more natural, imo.
You have a nice idea and mood here, by the way.

Love the Puppet Warp work.. excellent job!! good luck

Very funny !

LOL, yes, very funny, greymval!

I could easily have found and used a real fire, but that would defeat my intent to use the source. : )

Thank you, all!

alot of work author.... well done, turned out great

Great work and nice SBS!

Very nice work, great mood.
