very cool work,hand is great but the arm is a bit flat.Use dodge and burn tool author to make some curves...best of luck

Yup, dodge and burn are your friends. Good luck!

really imaganative.... the only thing i found not correct is that the arm and the globe looks quite flat....otherwise good job

Really unique idea! I agree that a lot of the depth of the arm has been lost. I would suggest putting the original arm on top of the edited version and messing with the blend modes. Perhaps softlight or overlay to gain back some detail. Good luck!

what an idea .......... all the best ..........

very nice

Wonderful...

Just a couple of questoins for you: why does a boat have a reflection if its in the sky? and what is the line across the image? There are also wrongly alligned reflections of clouds, which makes it look like its submerged in water, only the water is completely transparent.

This has some nice element but they just dont fit as one image yet.

Agrees with Ray

Author i so like that sky-water effect,it looks great.Bottom image clouds are a bit off,maybe to find some other clouds for that part of your creation...Good luck

Hahah I thought this looked way to familliar. Awesome image but you could have at least made a few changes to it. Good Luck!

I also agrees with Ray ............... why there is a reflection in sky ....... ?
i felt the island is placed in water ........

image is very nice....

Very sweet with a rainbow!!

Looks pretty good, but it's not a city imo

I really like the image, but agree with Ressiv.

hmmmm, i thought that castles were enclosed cities way back when...

Beautifully surreal... lovely image

Edit: Good to see you again!

thank you! good to be back!

super job.

Great idea and execution. I love the little lights on the tree. The only thing that could use work is the clouds. I would've liked to see more layers and a different hue. Great entry regardless, good luck.

Great work, awesome entry. GL

Great mood! I would like a small story though about your idea behind it. Only suggestion I can give is; create some beds out of the clouds for the cages to rest on, they are just blurred into the clouds now. Hope you know what I mean Good luck!

love the fact you used all your own work and photos.. awesome!!!!

Very surrealistic image.. and a great demonstration of talent, both photographic and photo-manipulating. Terrific.
