Overall really nice source selection. Really like how you kept the part of the car in the reflection.

Very nice. But the snowman doesn't fit completely. I don't know exactly what it is. Or the shadows or it misses some motion (like the road)

very nice, well done!

Very nice image... I think the snow man looks good if you are looking at it while driving, but if the concept is to look in the mirror the snowman should be blurred. I think that is what Marcia saw looking back and forth from snowman to mirror to snowman.... You can't see 2 things clearly at the same time.. Great entry and g/l

Great idea, and well executed.. maybe suggest the sky on your background image with the one form the source, to help it look like it matches. And also if you look closely there's a slight blue color cast. I suggest opening the source image in photoshop and duplicating it, then going to Filter -> Blur -> Average. This gives you the overall colour of your image, then just copy that into your finished image and set the mode to colour or soft light and play around with the opacity. But like i said, great idea, and a very convincing image.

The snowman needs dome dynamic to create the moviment feeling. Nice work.

I agree about the snowman but my question is about the lanes....in the reflection it is just a two lane road...in the rest of the picture, it is like a highway with a median in the middle--so it kinda doesn't match

Thanks all for your comments and criticisms. I've added a blur to the snowman, changed the sky colour, and removed the other lane from the image outside of the mirror. (although I thought that it was a path and not a car lane). Anyways, I removed it just in case and to avoid confusion

you did a great job fixing stuff, but what happened to the snow on the trees---it's gone now?

Thanks K5683!!! I completely missed that one. I forgot to unhide my layers before saving the file.

Good idea....source fits in perfect

Congrats for your second place!

Congratulations for 2nd

congrats!!

Congrats!

Congrats!!

Looks very good, those footprints aren;t very convincing though. Good luck anyways!

Beautiful! I agree about the footprints. But everythimg else is awesome!! Good Luck

Should i remove them? Or maybe blur them, not sure what to do :P

very nice work author, like the change you did with the snow and different background. Other than she's barefoot and does not wear much I notice that the the mirroring in the water has no source? The trees in the background can't be the reason for it, they are too far away. The track in the snow is done pretty good, but wouldn't her long dress have left some mark on the snow, too?

I think this is a nice idea too. The problem with the foot prints is they are those of a animal... probably bunny.. Models do tend to walk the catwalk with one foot in front of the other, but this model is doing that in the snow with teeny little feet :p . Erasing them would make it more unrealistic. i think derivatix has a good point about the dress leaving a mark too which might help you with the footprint problem... the long dress behind the feet would kinda erase them a bit..

Don't remove ALL the footprints, just the once between two.

Have a look here, it might help you http://twig7998stock.deviantart.com/art/Snowy-Footprints-2-112235607

Made the footprints a little more soft and made the dresses trace on the snow.

Might have been better to find someone dressed right for the weather...

lol come on CYMK, I live in Chicagoland and we were shorts in negative 0 weather At least shes got long sleeves on.

Nice work. Author, you are again on your old style work,.
