Wow! Great work of art! This must have taken forever!

wow you are amazing this is so great wonderful job

Great hunting! And perfect placement. Uncanny. (also, sympathy, i am currently in the same kind of panic)

Outstanding work!

This is something AMAZING! Lots of work..... good job! Good luck!

Great choice of sources, with an excellent result!

Reminds me of the Restaurant Scenes from the movie Orlando, whoo hooo

Incredible outcome author, i'm sure it took a while to be done! Good luck!

Lots of work but a terrific entry... just beautiful!

Got to have lot of endurance and a very creative mind to get a result like this. Excellent Job author!

Fabulous work, author! And what a sleuth to find all those images and still get the final piece done in time.

Congratulations! Great work recreating the image (title keeps reading as Still Life with Nice Hot Cup of Tea, and that's also great )

Congratulations Valerie, sublime work!

CONGRATS!!!

Congrats Valerie, a really great piece!!

Congratulations..... good work!

Thanks everyone for congrats. And thanks to robvdn for great contest theme - hope it makes a reappearance at some stage.....so many ideas!

Congrats Valerie very nicely done

Interesting concept and transformation.

It's so dark and monochromatic, you can neither make out the differences between all the sources you used, nor appreciate the wide variety of different items creating the foodscape.
Carl Warner lets the food be the landscape, not hide it behind overly dark values. Perhaps lighten it up and allow some of the real color to show.

do u think that step 9 will be ok?

step Nine is much nicer then the dark version for being able to see the actual food.. IMHO

EDIT: Much Improved!!!

Thanks a lot Drivenslush!, I'll change it

I would drop the pizza, and I would go back to step 9, desaturate and colorize a little bit. If you blur the farther away parts and the farthest even more, it'll give it some depth. Also, in an actual landscape, the farther hills and mountains are from the camera, the gradually lighter and duller they look. Check out this picture you'll see what i mean

I think you have the pieces and everything for a great entry, just needs a little tweaking hope this was helpful, best of luck!

Changed it, hope it's better now!

WOW! What a difference that made! MUCH much better, I'm glad I waited to vote. High score from me, you've done a wonderful job!

YAY! Absolutely great! What an awesome improvement! You take suggestion extremely well

Thanks for your comments

argh voting again... I like your concept, and simple is sweet... however this is very simple lol. Its a good picture and nice work, it could maybe have been cleaned up a little more but I like it

well , why complicated when there is a simple solution ?

Nice job on this! If you put this on a table or a background surface, it might enhance a bit more.

great clean up job !!

very good, clean work

lol, I forgot what I voted last time )) think about the same

nice job
