Great job on mood & lighting! Perspective suffers a bit because the source woman is an up shot & we're looking down into the baby's room...

If I didn't need therapy before... I think I need it now... LOL.. great creepy feel and the poem throws it over the top... great job author

great!!

Great mood, but i agree about the perspective, it shouldn;t be too much of a problem though. Good luck!

neat

yoea it is great job....look like some fairy tale with dousable and it is fill with horror too...high rate (:

I love the lightning! And just the whole idea. Creepy and lovely work Good luck!

A very interesting image, I would love to see a high res

i dont know ...i kinda like it!

wwwooooowwwwww, so beatiful,image and girl,very good

I really enjoyed reading the tutorial. Great job!

Nice image. Link 3 only leads to the CGT homepage. You need to link to the individual sources you used.

awesome!!!

Nice chop

Really nice image, some very detailed components to it.. my one suggestion woul be to maybe get rid of the bottom bit of her ear, because we can still see the lobe.. but this image is Great! Hihgh marks!!

I think the ear keeps it more human, that's why it's still there.

Top job!

Congratulations!

Congrats for your second place!

Congratulations for 2nd

great job

This is really well made, the lighting effect is very nice, and the eyes are bright and youthful. Well done!

she is looking much younger now, lips still dull, give nice lipstic.

I'm wondering how many times Alexis said WOW..hehehe (and she looks A LOT like a very YOUNG Barbara Streisand) they could have been sisters (Alexis's nose is much cuter ..hehehe.. not that Babs was ever bad)

This looks quite good but I don't get the dark band at the bottom of the pic.

Nice work, except the lips, try and work on them

very nicely done author!!

great job. very well done

Nice job overall,maybe desature the eyes a bit more to look more realistic.

wooow i swear i stared at this for a long time b4 i was able to tell which is the original one, very very good job -the mouth gave it away - good luck

Nice oldering! In fact it's perfect, amazing work!

you did a damn good job here!!!

Aw... Thanx Guys !!

I'm sure your friend is very happy with your job

Good job author, excellent

Beautiful...she would be even more stunning with her natural eye color, brown...IMHO

high marks from me! ^_^ The change is wonderful! a real tranformation ..

nice

i like sparkle in her eyes a lot, the wrinkle retouching was nice, but its too blurred now i think

Looks pretty ok! If you can remove the tiny darker outline around the woman, might improve the image. Good luck! PS arrgggh, it may be an even better improvement if you wont use google to search images or wallpapers.

If it is a reflection, it should not be flipped like this.

when using sources.. ALWAYS TRIPLE DOUBLE CHECK that they are allowed.. good work for a beginner.. you have the skill in sight.. GOOD LUCK

ok...

I really like your idea. I'm confused about what I'm seeing at the base of the glasses, and, for me, it is very distracting. I Iike the blurred background and the scene you created. Very nice. Good luck!

Figure looks pasted on the water, and those wings come into the foreground about twelve feet!

can you coloring body to similar like wings? if you care...

i am right there with CMYK, good idea but needs a little work as far as the wings go, you could try the scal and distort / warp tools or even perspective to try to move the back a little

beautiful wings; must be a giant angel

CMYK & PhotoRepair, you both are correct the wings are ginormous. I did downsize them some, but like akasha stated--she is larger than life, so maaaybe some the rule of reality can be a little bent? I tried to address some of the issues with the figure as well. Feathered the mask to make the edges less sharp and tweaked the color a little. I hope this makes it better. Thanks for the input everyone. You all rock!

Author, it's not that the wings are big, it's that they're in the wrong plane. They start behind her shoulders but the wingtips are practically in the viewer's face...

at first i thought this was in the ocean and sky contest anyway, yes, the wings are off perspective. they are vertical, but somehow manage to go towards the viewer- a lot!

EDIT: try drawing a horizontal line following her left leg. the wings should "end" roght above that line no matter how large they are! don't get me wrong, i love the idea of nude angels but this needs work!

Interesting Escher-esque piece, with those wings coming towards the viewer . It's not impossible, maybe a bit unusual. I'd clean up some rough edges here and there on top of the wings. Good luck!

This looks nice.. but if the wings are coming towards the viewer, it should cast a shadow on her body... Also check for the wing's light source coz it looks like it's coming from the front.

Hm.. what else.. ah yes, is she waterproof? How come she's still dry?
I love this entry btw, and if I see some improvements, it'll be awesome!

idea is good, but wings are not fixed properly, and colors are not matching.

Wings should be in water.....after a limited lenght.....

Nice idea, but it's looking a little cut and paste.

agree with everyone....................idea is nice but hvnt xecuted well.........

nudity definetly doesn't offend me here ))) nice work!
