Lovely work, there are two power lines on the right side in the sky, just above the horizon, you might like to remove them

Thank you for the keen eye Madame! I've cloned out the power lines

Much better

Beautiful image...Just a suggestion but the light source is behind the hourglass not to the right or the front...Might want to get rid of the reflections on the glass to help create the mood you are going for in this image...Best of Luck =)

Nice...

the idea is nice, but you get the full effekt if you only shadow the sunflowers into the pictureas well. Also, don´t have so dark shadow on the sunflowers outside the picture - for two reasons - it´s not nescerrary when the background is such a space, and also doesn´t lift the cropping so much as now. Give the wasp a small shadow also.
GL

idea is perfect author,but u have to work a bit more on this.First thing is bad sunflowers crop-ing,use pen tool,with this u will be way more precise.Second thing are shadows.Make tiny shadow under the picture frame and watch at sunflowers,in source image light coming from the left front side,so shadow need's to be behind the sunflowers but right from them.And IMHO maybe would better if shadows are not intense like they now...I will hold my vote because i like the idea so much and will wait for some improvement...Good luck

where do I go to mention the author's name? please help me

stock Photo by tiwi

you can mention it in your description......... (sunflower is still a bad cut... you can make it up..) good luck

good idea................

Nice idea....gl

cool

Restore the whiskers, fix the repetitive cloning on the beach, and soften the edges on the head, and you'll have a nice image. Good luck.

i ll work on it..thanks

update: @ cmyk, fixed the whiskers, repetitive cloning and edges

to the right of the seal the ocean meets the sand that area is messed up. the lighting on the ball is top left and on the seal in his face (coming from the right) yet you show the sun peaking out from behind the rock. good luck author!

gud luck to u ...........

Working with CS5 huh...how do you like it?? nice entry, GL

@dollmommy, lol, its cool and easier to achieve your idea
