It may just be me but this entry is way too dark, I can hardly make out the objects even in high res

Edit: I have just looked at this on my work computer rather than at home, It is still dark but not as much as I previously thought so I withdraw my harshness . Great work btw, very surreal.

Awesome work it's so surreal. The first thing I thought of was "Henny Penny" and the sky falling on her head, but of course this is a sparrow and water, wonderful imagination

I love this image, but i don't understand it! I really want to! Great job author

Really strange. But nice.

HMMMMMMMMMM!

i dont get it ,but nice

Let me try to explain this entry: the top part up untill the water is just a fantasy scene. A mountain in a lake with a house on it, the house connects to the balloon which investigate the globe (that's why the title). I wanted a flat world for the water, that's why I added the ship and teh water falling of the rim. The sparrow is there for 2 reasons: 1. to show the flat world is floating and 2. to make a contradiction in sizes, a normal sized bird makes you look differently to the rest of the image. To attrack the attention more to the sparrow I blurred the toppart (which also gives depth)

I just love these kind of surreal pictures, cause they make me think and make me try to find the meaning behind it. Just like yours. I especially like the composition and your drawings, they are really great. What I also like is the difference between a dream world and the reality. So the upper part is more a dream world and everything looks drawn and the lower part is more or less the reality with a real sparrow and real ice. So for me the interesting thing is not only the size, but also this switch between dreams and reality. I have no idea, if you wanted to express that, but that's just my interpretation of your lovely picture. Good luck!

good work

why is so blurred?

good work,gl author.

very nice

i just don't get it? what is that light thing?

@Keiley22: the SBS guide might explain it. In Step 8 I created this alien like ghost from smoke

Yeah, but what's the blue stuff?

Huh, I had this vision turning this into a night scene. That alone would be a little so easy I thought so I came up with some ghosts, fog and a creepy alien like figure. I think it turned out quite well but when nobody can see that I probably failed at it.

good effort keep at it Author

i see what you did mate! and i find the result awesome!

i was not scared of the dark until i saw this. I like the blue spirit hue around the tree. spooky.

nice

Amazing view

why itz not raining this time

looking at the image ramananjv, they look to high in the sky to be rain clouds... they probably rained further down the track. Very rare that ive seen rain, thunder and lightening at the same time... the rain usually comes after nice image by the way author, goodluck.

Stunning!

this is a wonderful entry. It is so common in my country to have lightning and no rain. They are called HEAT STORMS. the sky can even be clear. LOVE THIS> added it to my FAVS. GL

Nice image but could you please upload a high res whenever possible. I'd like to see your details.

U dont need reflection on the water.Thunder's strike behind trees so its not possible that u have reflection there.Colors are very good...gl

Good background, bad reflections at right...

great job

These frogs don't have heads!!! :o but the work is beautiful!

I learned how to make these a while back, and i still get criticised for them not looking like frog. Excellent work, a fantastic choice of background. Good luck!

Fantastic idea,try to fix frogs legs a bit,it looks like they dont reaching the leaf...GL

@ sparklen: the real origami is look like that ; @ ponti: you can make it frog origami too? nice, i've learn to make it long time ago ; @ erathion: the frog not reaching the leaf because they jump. The real frog origami can jump!! ... thanks for comment all...

very nice job

nice image,gl
