It's a very nice CBR! Beautiful design.

not bad

it is nice work ,but

i like it alot; the texture patters are very nice, making the image pop... having said that i feel it holds too little relevance to the original image..the parts you used and shopped might very well have come from anywhere without changing the outcome. but overall, the idea is original making it a success!

The idea is nice but all components are to flat...use a bit dodge and burn tool author to achieve better depth and to give some roundness to image...good luck

i like the idea! but its a little busy

I agree with Tucker; idea is good, but it's kinda confusing...

confused about what

besides what is a little busy

I think your on as far as the idea goes but technically there are place for improvement. First off, all of your source images are way too small. You must not of clicked on the sources picture to get the full resolution. I think the resolution is what really hurt the clarity on this. Second some of the masking needs a bit of work. I wish you luck and make sure you get the full resolution sources next time.

Have to agree about the sources. They are blurry and hard to make out. I wouldn't have known it was a turtle if not told it was there... no offence author.

I like the idea of the image, however is there anyway you could go back and redo it with high res images? it would be a waste to lose votes on this image cause its simply blurry

will hold vote

thanks but can someone show me how to get higher res ? cuz i dk how to do it
thanks alot

Hi. For sxc.hu, you'd have to click the download button to give you the hi-res which is what you save, not the preview image. And I noticed you need to credit and notify the photographers for some of your sources so you'll have to get their permission first. Hope this helps.

well i clicked on the download button, of course, but the problem happened when i create t he entry. I divived the progress into another small steps that i used in poor resolution(500x500) now i dont know how to get better quality for the entry

for credit yah
i alway give credit to the photographers if i saw his/her name near the download button. In another way, i cant remember all

nice attempt

You won't be able to get a better resolution for this entry unless you redo the whole thing. My comment was in regards to any other entries you hear on out. When I download the source picture I first click on the image and then you should have different size option. Always choose the highest image size even if it's not required in your entry. Good luck!

do i still have a chance?
cuz today is 4th
not sure if i redo it my work will be paid off

Very cute! Good Luck

the edges of the pieces are too sharp; blur them a bit so they look more natural

Very nice! Are them running in the water? So, how about adding some splashes, specially around the front paws to not seem they are cut?

interesting

Very creative use of the source good job

very interesting concept...good luck

Remember to post your sources

Edit: Author.. you always do this.. why don't you just post your sources when you first upload your image?

hey ponty man!!!...why did you comment.....!!!!!?!!!?......That i makes ... why not be patient?......

Well author, most people post their sources when the entry first gets uploaded.. it's not a matter of me being impatient, it's me trying to help, usually because people who don;t post their sources are new and need a bit of guidance.

however you say, Ponty man!!!!

IMO, it looks more "smaller" than "compact"

what author ponti55 says rit..
we dnt know who new so dat's y he say.. why r u say like dat....

it's luk like very cool... gud

Nice overall work, a really nice looking image, but be careful with the white edges around the tree and the man. Also be sure to post all of the sources you used.

EDIT: Ah, okay Great job and good luck.

thanks for the comment. the white margins were made intentionally, because of the backlight. i posted all the sources. the man is made by me using paths and painting over.

Nice color. The turtle would have a bigger shadow, and maybe blur the rim lighting just a bit. Good luck!

Welldone Author..

Great work author...Few minor nit picks...u should blur a bit black boat and people on horizon,then glow from the sun on a guy and on a tree can be way better,u achieve that on the turtle,try to do the same on other objects...So that's it,i love this work so much and i will wait with voting,maybe u apply some changes...best of luck

i love the shadding you have given on the turtle
great work

Congrats for your third place, Keenox!

Congratulations!
