Brilliant editing.. the model looks fantastic and the background is magical Great job!

Great work author, fantastic result

- Changed background;
- A few more changes in lighting.

I don't really understand what the black fuzzy thing is on her hand?
other wise, very dreamy. I love it.

It's a black feather ~~

very good design it makes me thing or go out in a dream which i'll never come back

I've always told myself that if I was ever lost in time, I'd want a little black feather that blows bubbles as a pet.

Fantastic piece author...Mood is perfect...love the color choice and your work on a model is great touch...best of luck

Nice! Love her eyes..

I know cmyk fantasy is not your strong...

Congrats on 2nd!

Congratulations!

I love it! In high resolution is great! Loved the detail of the dust particles dancing in the rays.

Very nice work author...High resolution is a must before voting...Only thing that not fits is lighting on the eagle...With light that u have from the clock there is not chance the light eagle like u did...His bottom part of the wings should be lighted not upper...any howw this is very nice image author and i wish u best of luck

Wohoo.. Me likie!

Very creative. Love the lighting!

This is actually good.

Very cool = )

Congratulations!

There's too much going on- the main focus of the composition cannot be distinguished since elements are fighting with eachother= no harmony.
White element vs black element, both vertical vs green diagonal plant, my brain goes wha..huh !?!

You had a good idea with the back, why not take a photo of someones naked back and warp/ distort the clock on it, play around.
A Ranum chick usually does the trick IF she's not dating any recent / current entry.
But don't rely only on her - you need to do some work as well. Here's a nice back, her name's Candace Nirvana ( wow ):

What do you mean Ranum chick? Thanks for the link, I will look into it. Last time I took something from Deviant art, I got taken out bc it was copywrighted. I am taking in what you said since this is my first stab into the surreal.

Oh, Ranum chick = female model posing for Marcus J. Ranum - brilliant man, kudos to him.
On deviant whatever user has "stock" in his name, provides his images free to use- but you have to credit him, so read his terms of use. Some ask link with the work or to be informed by mail, etc.
The link i gave you is usable since is mjranum-STOCK.

Thanks Grey M that is very useful information! I have to work today, but I will see if I can do that tip. Again thanks.

Ranum' stuff is amazing......

Grey, with the last breath of my body I joing deviantart and I fixed it. Full credit to Ranim for his incredible pictures and the models too. By the way his art is incredible!

Grey, took out the shadow. It's done!

Well it looks better cause of the shape of the girl, but in order to make it stand out more you should adjust the background with levels(ctrl L), making it darker and blur it a bit.
Instead of that bush for hair i would use these:
http://cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=24807&PHPSESSID=a93838f6f73551a605c8878ac381b63c
It's copyright free, it's already cut and would make a nice touch to the pic, chromatically and volumetrically.
Contest is over, so you can't edit your image no more, but you can make it for yourself and enter it in Mix manipulations contest or in your portfolio.
PS: try dodge & burn to create light & shadow on the body.

very good start for a wonderful collage, good luck!

Please view SBS

Nice job, good shadows.

Thanks RichieMB

More to it than meets the eye.. very realistic scene

Thanks ponti55, thats why i said look at SBS because i think it could get overlooked. I thank you for your comment, means a lot

Very nice work well done

Thanks ibmaxed

Nice image. You could also try playing around with turning a grayscale image into a duotone or tritone to get even more tonal values. GL, author.

Fantastic piece author...great blend,cool mood and perfect final result...well done

Now THAT is amazing. I almost feel like I'm there, caught in that dusty old room with the old grandfather clock.

Thanks for your comments guys makes me

Fantastic, i have no comment about this photography. Congratulation author you've done nice job

This is a really good pic, you did a fantastic job with the blending. Very realistic and believable. I'm sure you will be clocking up some 1st places soon.
