very nice!

Not sure about the desaturated foreground, but pretty good image.

thanks CMYK46. the foreground its not desaturated. it has litlle bit of blue, because in turbulent waters you are not suposed to see any color.

I like how you have decided to use the source image..IMO you need to pick a focal point and work around that...too many fuzzy areas and then areas that are in focus...kinda makes it a bit confusing as to where to look...Good Luck

Christy...I dont get it.

You are showing different things at different viewpoints in the image...they shouldn't all be clear...if you want the castle and the horse in focus and the focal point then blend and blur your image to direct the eye to those points...Hope this explains better and it's just my opinion good luck

Nice result, the rainbow adds a lot to the mood of the image. You might fix the blurry parts though. Good luck!

Beautiful entry, author! GL...

GL

nice

good mood... congrats....

As with a previous entry, IMHO would be better if her feet were on the ground. There would also be splashes coming off her. On second look, she'd be smaller due to perspective. (PS: It's good you got rid of the dog. )

Thx for the advice CMYK46, i will try to fix it

nice idea

huge marks.. but make sure you create some difference in each creature you have created (they look just a tad to repetitive... but other then that.. this image kicks butt LOL (do some shear/twirl/liquify... gently.. it will make the entry that much powerful)

do wish I would of thought of this.. it's wonderful

just love the dimensional effect as the grass goes blurry

Very well done! Composition is flawless, nice colors. I like the insects (esp. the rightmost one). Only the legs of the red insect are a little off (the are all on one side of the body).

dustfinger- I see what you mean- but when I look at the image in PS- the legs are to the back, when I view in pxl I see the legs infront. I will try again..Thx GolemAura for the lovely comment.

Great image, good luck!

Nice image, but I never heard of a valley that was located on the beach.

Very nice use of source, good job!

Oh makes me wanna go-- I love coconut.

Mmm. Tastey.

i was inspired by the first (and probably last) coconut i tried to open not too long ago. it's no picnic

great thinking out of the box for source usage.

haahahah cool image! i love it author looks like a nice family photo!

I like the softness of the picture

Oh author, I feel with you Opening the one and only coconut in my life causes me a lot of cursing, sweat and a bleeding finger Very good blending and a really nice composition Good luck!
