Nice!

This is gorgeous. Only problem is that the line of demarkation about half way up. About where that bright yellow star is on the right side and extending to the left. But it's really beautiful and I think my favorite in this contest so far.

downoffthedragon Thank you, now I could see it too. It is where the edge of the picture with the sky. Yesterday my eyes were too tired probably. Going to fix it now.
EDIT: Fixed that line.

cool!

the background is great! it could do without the girl imo

thank you guys. Elficho, then they would say: it is too simple...

I know I'm late taking another look, but good job with the blending out that line!

Looks good but i recognise this from somewhere. Have you used it before?

Yes, the original version was submitted for the Ugly Creatures contest before the crash (in the good old PST days). This version is slightly edited because the dog image is no longer available, but another one of the same dog is (Again, thanks to ReapRevenge )

I remember this charming man And I still love this picture! Good luck with it again

Lordy!

wow i just love this onae! its extreemly cool!

This is awesome! Grand idea here!! lovin it!

oh, so good to see this again! really missed you ! lol

this isnt really ugly//its kinda cool and funny...good job

Congrats to you and this lovely and charming man

Congrats, he's so ugly

Congrats!

Congratulations for 1st

Greate image, very effective.. this belongs on a cigarrette packet.. really well done, high marks from me

You just ripped apart a cigarette, so where's the tobacco? Fix the reflection so the cigarette isn't floating...good image, otherwise...

nice concept

that has a strong message; I'm glad I don't smoke

ooo talk about sugestive nice work the reflection i think is too bright... cause then you would see the wall reflected too

Great antismoking message. I wish someone would do one about chaw/dip/smokeless types, too. It's so discusting to see someone carrying around a soda bottle that they use to spit in. Or chipmunk cheeks full of it, especially when they conducting training.

this is very cool

GREAT JOB! It has a lot of meaning.

i don't like this message ( i'm a smoker ) I'd like to see maybe some paper folds where the cigarette starts splitting...and it does look like it's floating, like CMYK said...lower the cigarette on the reflection

omg i love it i hope it gets a top 3!

thanks
look at the updated entry...

seems very simple, but does bring across a very powerful message, nice work!

Great entry!Very original!

nice widow u no it would be kool if she was a ghost just a idea bo kool job

If she was a ghost the whole theme of my entry had to change i guess, since she would be dead as well :P ty tho.

This one fits like a glove... in 10 days is my boyfriends first day of death and it just feels like this picture is made for me. So it goes directly to my favs. Good luck

the tombstone is almost perfectly positioned!

Wow... its so... dramatic, touching... its great! i really like!!! very much!!! great work Author!!!

wonderful image.. your sources are excellent.. good luck

Where is the perfect place to put the tombstone tuckinator? >.

I think this is a really different image, i like the colours and the stance she is in. The grave stone seems fine to me, it fits the kind of image this is. The birds are a nice touch as well, it draws the eye to the back of the image so you dont just focus on the foreground.. goodluck author

You created a very nice image followed by this sad feeling of missing someone...

True i was inspired that day, thanks for the lovely comments olivia and nemanja.

the dried earth pic is getting a lot of use lately

nice light and shadow work ...good luck!

very nice image

Congrats Akassa! I'm happy, that you've won!
