It’s a very creative idea. But the blurring effect is a little to overpowering.....

Thank you very much! reduced the blur and I like it mor now.

Very good!

Very cool idea and nice final product.I like water frame very much,birds are nice touch too but fire demands a bit more work...play a bit more with fire frame perspective and maybe u could create dripping water effect in fire frame...any how this is very good work....best of luck

i like this

perfect idea and it is nicely done! good luck, author

Thanks to all! (:
I will care about the points you saied as soon as I find some time, thanks a lot erathion!

wooooooooooooooooow Unbelievable

Clever idea. GL!

Very nice work on a Whale,my only advice is to erase some parts of the white stripes with some soft brush,that would give realistic mark...Sailing boats looks a bit more unrealistic,maybe u could use some other image of the boat,ship or etc...Any how i like this construction very much,and i am sorry for nit picks...
Edit:maybe u could change color of the whale to,some kind of blue or greenish,then he would look very very realistic

Nice job! If it has bottom fins, why not the top fin?

that's pretty creative lol , gj

Nice work and a very creative idea. my only suggestions would be to blend the fin in a bit more and to give it less transparency Something of this size would not have thin or flimsy fins…..

It's different. I agree about the fins.

lol cool image

Gonna think about the side fins. I kind of liked the little fish -like fins on a huge whale. But what comes to dorsal fin, I removed it as it looks much better that way - and there are several whale and fish species which don't have a dorsal fin. I want to save the shocking yellow colour, as I want it to be very different and look like a snail-whale instead of very realistic one. Thanks for all the comments, I think about the side fins.

I like the color & the side fins!

Great job, like it GL!

Very cute whale, looks so real.

Author, image is too small; upload it in hi res, please...

hmmmmmmmmmmm....strange

Sorry too small a high res to see good detail. Upload high res in future and it will seriously help your score. No high res? Then find one that is. Images that are of low quality are a bad choice to chop. Try to keep them at least 1000 px wide.

Author, next time click on the sxc.hu image and download the high resolution image. Joining the site is free and you can download as many images as you want.

nice nice

very very cool

It reminds me a kind of dinosaur, but with a soft and wet skin. The lips are very cute, the whole image is great. I just think the tail texture is a bit stretched; and if you look at the base of the rock and the ground over the right eye, you'll see a flaw resulting from cloning. Fixing them the work will be perfect!

Very nice work

LOL, cute, and well done. The only thing that I might think about changing is the eye lid on this cute little guys. I think it makes me look a little angry. But if you move it more to the top of the eye, it will change his expression. Just a thought. = )

wow cool work

very cute,great job

Fabulous creation.Looks like some small Dino creature to me...Best of luck author

Wicked idea and work......color is great really makes it pop top job!!

very nice, gud luck

cool

Congrats!!!

source links don't work and again to much 3D in photoshop contest...but i love the final result

1- I've fixed the links
2- About the 3d part I know I've used lot of 3D but I'm trying to learn how to shade.
The first thing I've done was to shade using the 3d images as a reference but I didn't get the result I wanted so I used the 3d images.
3-Next time I will try to work without the use of the 3d images or I will use it only as a reference.
4-Finally, Thanks for loving the final result.

not bad

Congrats for 3rd

Congrats!

Congratulation on 3rd place and great work...keep going...

Congrats for your third place, Tnaggar!
