Not bad. Might have more depth if the background values differed from the foreground.

nice idea and well done -- the edge of the watch could use a touch up -- maybe a bit of burr to remove the pixelation

ok, those are good suggestions i will probably edit this entry soon,

what i was most concerned about was context for the branch, any ideas on how to make it seem more natural?

Nice job, author. Notice how bright the wood branch is to the right of the 'clock'...maybe try and brighten the clock right next to that bright spot with a soft edge and follow through that highlight area.

UPDATE: i took most of the suggestions, changed the background color for some depth and added more lighting effects and edge blurs for added realism and consistency,

thanks for the help

Much better image now, IMO...good luck!

Nice work on the clock. It would be nice if the little pointer was not cut off, but extended a little above the rest.

very nice blend of well chosen images -- great job

Kinda looks like he's stopping off for a pooping.. Not a bad thing if that was your goal... I really like it, but that's what I see... if you placed a Flush Pull coming down from the dead space on the right, it would really up it to hysterical.. sorry.. just what I see in this image.. very hard work here.. but the humor is where my eye goes

(Death kinda looks like he's waiting for his turn at the pot.. a toilet roll floating in space would send it over the top)

(oh lord I'm going to rot in hell)

wow very nice one!

Congrats Rob love this one

Congratulations Rob...nice eerie image.

I have preceded the time and waiting for it to catch up with me, this is my general theory of relativity, an outstanding work, congratulations on the first place

HAHA! TOP of the TOP! vote from me, instant FAV! PERFECT work !

Great work author...should'a put some little ankle biter blocks in there with it.

Good work, very funny

Lov it!..

my fav!!.

LMAO - well, that potty-mouth NEEDS a time-out! Good source find. Nice work, author.

Cool red nosed guy

i think the tree is a little too bright but you did a good job on dressing it up!

OK Ela, I toned it down just a RCH ...I mean a tad. Thanks

Nice work, that RCH worked! LOL

I like the approach and treatment to the tree decorations. It's a bit confusing with all that light coming from behind the tree...the part of the tree the viewer sees would probably quite a bit darker. Right now, it's very evenly lit from our perspective. It's one of the downfalls to using a pic like this for the background...cuz you don't want to darken the work you've done. Nice job, nonetheless. Cool SBS.

i don't know... she is dirty
