Light source on tree is opposite that on the girl, and try to blend her into the tree better...

i agree with CMYK, a better blending would make this look very good

blending should be gradual

Good Luck

yikes her arms need some cleaning nice idea

Nice transition

no comment lol

nice idea, do you really wanna use lens flare? good luck and welcome back =)

I love lens flare, but it is a tad frowned upon in the Photoshop communities (like page curl, rendered clouds, etc...) I personally like it and the usage of it in this picture.. to each his own.. GOOD LUCK!! (Experiment with other lighting effects but DON'T mess with the image if you ruin the initial effect)

image is a bit flat... add some shadows and darker/brighter areas to make it more catching

Beautiful work, good use of the source!

nice idea but i think you shoud reduse the opacity(or even delete) the lense flare!And as Mike suggested,add some more shadows and highlights!Good luck!

Thanks for the comments.. SBS follows v.shortly

nice good luck is a very cool idea!

Not bad, but there's something with the light here (and then I dont even mention the l*ns fl*r*). Because it looks like the "branches" of the tree gets light from front right, while the shadow is also on front. Unless the l*nsfl*r* is messing with my eye...Good luck!

EDIT: light fixed

this is a very good picture of naivism! i love it! good luck!

Nice image, I agree on the lens flare... Suggestion? Add a "simple" cartoonish character to it

This is great. I really like it.

Cool idea but kill the lens flare...find your own sky with light source, it's much more effective (the lens flare filter looks bad unless it's used well - which isn't often)...

Quite creative - Good Luck.

very nice

unreal, I like it very much

I wanna eat it, can I eat it?

nice
