Well done Author.

Good image indeed...maybe blur the edges of the floating island...nice mood & color.

forbidden girl! cheers!

Looks very nice, maybe darken up the bottom of the birdhouse a bit? Good job otherwise.

It's awesome but the perspective is off for the house on the floating island.

thanks all for the suggestions blurred island edges, fixed bottom of bird house. repaird left tree edges , and left side of island to get rid of the chopped look any other suggestions let me know id love to hear them. i didn't change the perspective on the birdhouse as i think that looks right.

Really nice.

Perspective looks fine to me...

fixed one of the color overlays , missed a spot with it. thanks for the heads up fille!

Yeah the house looks much better now. Awesome job!

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats for your third place, Evan!

Congrats!

congrats!!

Congrats on 3rd!!

hmm... good luck.

This is quite good. I'd love to know how you made it.

Interesting image indeed, but I have no idea how it represents a soul.

interesting blend of images -- good work

think u can remove the light from that persons hand, coz logically when a person carries a candle light or any kind of light atleast some portion of that person would be visible but here the light is producing more brightness and that person is not visible.

I love what you did with the walls and floor--the mop headed guy just doesn't do it for me

Every week I see hundreds of stupid fake feelings on those contests. Just waiting for a good and sincere vision like yours. If this worth something for you is the best on this contest. And not only.

Very nice, i don't like the vignette too much, i think it overpowers your image, so maybe just drop the opacity a bit. Great image otherwise, i love the idea. Good luck!

hmm

Nice image, great demonstration of motion, good luck!

You can't use the background image, it is already manipulated. Have a look at these two links:
http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/
and
http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/
That should help you

Try a different background

in the sxc.hu i read the image license... i can use the image!! read: You may use the Image * In digital format on websites, multimedia presentations, broadcast film and video, cell phones. * In printed promotional materials, magazines, newspapers, books, brochures, flyers, CD/DVD covers, etc. * Along with your corporate identity on business cards, letterhead, etc. * To decorate your home, your office or any public place.

It doesn't matter, what sxc says in this case, it does matter, what the PXL-guidelines say! And there you can read clearly, that you are not allowed, to use premanipulated images.

author, Lelaina and CMYK46 are right. Yes you can use that image places, but since it is a picture that has been manipulated already, you can't use it here. Check out the links that Lelaina gave. I know it is confusing, but they are right.

Wont talk about the background

hmmmm ok, now i understand... im learning... sorry.. i will remove the image... doesnt matter....

how i proceed in this case?

image updated!

the motion blur is a little odd but this is cute!
