simple, but nice

....loove the kid.....but why so dark below box.....GL

Line from a song by Jane Siberry (every thing reminds me of my dog)

the blank expression of the little boy
with thick glasses who picks
himself up from the sidewalk
and stands there blinking in the sun
ho oh!

Don't know why, but when I look at this pic I can hear her song LOUD AND CLEAR.. LOL

Very Sweet image.. good luck on this

Nice clean work -- maybe just clone out the red color from the edges of the box

it kinda looks like its floating..try maybe adding a dhadow only on the edge of the gift, and maybe pull it back a little seems a bit bright.

wow

nice work

nice match but the shadow is a little too big..it looks like the box is floating..try using the spot healing brush to get rid of all those skeeter bites

Very nicely done. Great SBS too!

Great use of the source!! Just so you know in high res the edges of the planet aren't very sharp..kinda opaque...Still very creative...Good Luck

This is really great work, I noticed a discoloration right smack in the middle of the fish on a fin. Not sure if this could be cleaned up. It looks a bit out of place. All else is just beautifully done!

Lots of love in this piece.. and you put xoxoxox around the mouth.. HOW AWESOME..nice tribute to a geat artist

Nice work author.

Well I could add glow, but I find the color are constrating enough... If one look at a spot for a few moment, the text will seems like glowing due to the contrasting nature of the color used here... Or maybe my moniter calibration is off lol...

very cool

Very nice idea and finish, good work

Wow that's a really hard job! Amazing work author!

Very nicely done. lot of work. Instead of just colors you can clip another source image into the text area. GL

great!!

@GK I thought of that too... But even in full res, the text are not that big and it's in normal weight... And for the image to be clipped to work well and have a impact, the text should be bigger and must be bold... And if I used big fonts, I won't be able to the show the contour very well... Plus the image on text can be distracting, imho...

lol....it reminds me of memento......

very nice

very nice idea and nice job

thaz cool

original !
