Congrats

Try to fix the reflection of the building, & list sources for Saturn & trees...

Amazing job! *favs it*

well done

i don't understand.. sorry!

i disagree with the drop shadow.

You don't need a drop shadow, it makes things look flat. You also need to make the light bulb look round. Did you mean to enter this in the Creative Bulb contest?

srry this is the one i wanted here

well now it makes perfect sense.. good luck author

big bang... hmmm

i hope this isnt what the earth will look like, im a winter person and wont be able to handle the heat lol

just a personal thing, i think that ALL the stars over power your work. However if you were going for an abstract construction it is good. GL

the sky could use some work but its a cool image!

the milkyway hasnt got enough stars the background has too many

good stuff

Too much stuff in front of Mom IMO. She's the focal point. I appreciate that a little overlap adds depth, but I would emphasize 'little.' Her glow is creepy. [BTW I hope English is not your first language.]

good work

Sorry I guess I should use spell check more often.. 1 point off...

lol liking this, gl

nice work and good luck

nice work.....but outer glow on lady aren't working well....

Very nice. cool idea. what is the glow around her head for it seems unatural.

they're a bit stretchy.. remember to hold down the shift key when transforming so they don't lose their proportions... good luck!!

thanks for the tip

the people are very blury. The light on the girl doesn't seem to match the picture well. Good job on placing them so they look like they are walking in the water.

I like this concept! I think it would be even more effective if the woman was monochromatic like her surroundings. Good job!

those people look a tad bit distorted

Interesting...

First, author, both the image of the man and the woman are rights-managed. Do you have permission to use them? Rules are, you have to show proof of authorization or payment receipt in the SBS. Once you're over that potentially disqualifying hurdle, next, the concept is good, but to make it work successfully: 1. re-add the man and woman from the original source, making sure they are in correct proportion (they are too "tall" or "skinny"right now to be natural); desaturate the woman to make her grayscale like her background. There are also some light source/shadow issues. Good luck!

good luck

Good Luck

idea is good, but the picture is compressed

Interesting concept, but fully agree with elemare. I'd go for some more higher quality images, keep them in the right proportions (press shift while scale images) and try to match the light from added images compared to the source image. Good luck!

The people are too stretched out, but the idea is good. Also she looks like she's walking on water, maybe because of the desaturation...
