*lol* Damn... That was a pretty short no-ideas-phase...
Now I need an idea... Uh, I'm under pressure

Good luck!

I'd raise the bird up a bit. It looks like it's perching on the horizon line...

Beautiful image but i think the grass is a little empty, maybe add some flowers

the girl doesn't look like she is part of the image... i am just learning about feathering give that a go. nice idea though and good cloning. i will hold my vote for the moment.

Sorry OliviasArts, i don;t understand what you mean.. i use the pen tool to select my images, and then i feather the selection by one pixel to smooth it out. If it still doesn;t look right i normally go back and add a selection border around the entire figure of about 3 or 4 pixels and then blur it. What you're seeing i think is a bit of pixelation, unfortunately i have to work in medium resolution because my computer is extremely slow and very full, so i can't go adding ultra high-res images, and i apologise for that. Thank you for the comment.

purdy purdy like the Sixties only with soap

i think the girl and the bird need more shading on the shadows

Shading on the shadows?

for me, the background just seems a little bit too empty, perhaps add an old tree with a swing??? or some other object that will fit in with the image??? But nice work here! Well done!!!

I wanted to create simplicty, and then everything gathering around the model to create a sense of control, which is really what i was trying to achieve

You could add one of the rocks back to the background, as it is now using the grass is minimal use of source.

Golem: you're so funny! I like this image.......minus the bird. Good luck

very awesome!

Beautiful image, subtle work. Good luck!

It's you!!!! Good job!!

Love it, but the hair is a bit flat, I thought it was the bg at first

What a mug!!!

hmmm this reminds me of something, Little Mermaids' father King Triton

Looks really good, nice idea.

i love it!

nice imagination author.. it looks visually impressibve.. u could add more shadows between the fingers.. about the veins, it looks quite awkward for them to bulge from the middle of the fingers, even if u decide to leave them that way, u should try to continue them along the lenght of the hand like u did for the thumb.. good luck

now my nails hurt .. good job

hmmmmmmm i dont know...

Nice idea, great image- good luck!

I'm not exactly feeling vertigo and nausea, but I do feel a little dizzy and that maybe I'm going to vomit. Nice perspective and I love the hand. Great job!!

Sweet idea, very nice view!

Interesting, good luck!

interesting to the max!
