Interesting work...I think you need to make the tree seem more like it's actually rooted in the ground, otherwise nice job.

thx for the comment! i'll try to fix it tomorrow (it's 1 am here!)

Very nice

i've made some changes, i hope it looks a little better now

nice work dude...

thx dude

IMHO roots still need work.

you're right but i have no idea how to make them look better!

Very nice work and great idea...

Light rays are at wong angle...

You know how on the 4th of July and all the fireworks go off and the people go OOOOO... AWWWWEEEEE.... that's this piece LOL..great Idea!!

EDIT: I thought it was a streaked window not light rays... FYI

CMYK46 you just are being to critical of everybody.... so just be quiet if you don't have anything nice to say

Jeez! CMYK46 is just trying to help. The more realistic the better right? I would want people to point out my mistakes also. If one chooses to change it or not is the author's decision but it is good that CMYK46 is trying to help make the chop more realistic or correct.

BTW author, good job. The chop would be nice without the rays. Are you going for a window effect?

The light rays do give it the illusion of looking through a window. You should do that. Make it look like you're looking out of a window, meaning add an actual window frame from the inside of a home. I think it would add more to the effect. Just a suggestion.

Thanks 4 all ur comments and suggestions.. keep helping me improve...

What happened to the right side of the tree? fixing that and remove the light rays and its will be closer to perfection (in my opinion)

I also get the feeling that the face is floating infront of the tree, and not a part of it. I think sharper edges would make a difference here

I'm agree with CMYK the lights are wrong:S

this looks great now!

Now looks great ...

Congrats for another first place, Sanky!

The lamp feels out of place. Otherwise, cute idea.

the lamp seems to small... try making it bigger than the pictures...

I would get rid of the lamp also. maybe a small jar candle in front or something, but the lamp isnt working.

loose the lamp

nice

very nice. Great idea

nice one!

She doesn't look like she's unhappy being eaten by the tree. Maybe another "victim" source might have been more appropriate, but it's not a bad concept.

maybe it feels good to be eaten by a tree CMYK46 some people find pleasure in odd things ;o lol lol lol

Awesome image. Great balance of elements (sex appeal, source image, beauty, nature, color). Love it.

great work

Congrats

Congrats for your second place, Jaescoe!
