the shadow is oposite on the moon and the tower, but great work

Well Done!

nice

Love the colors. Good luck

Very dramatic, but the moon is very distracting in my opinion. I think that your image is really good, but the moon lets it down a tad. I'll hold my vote for a while

Amazing...a moon just like ours in another galaxy...

Looks good... gl

congrats !! What a lovely entry!!

Well Done!

Congrats on your win

Congrats, Akassa

Agrees with Hippunky, but still nice imagination.

Congrats!!!!

Excellent chop - and far be it from me to comment (I'm a mere pleb!) - but might the tiniest amount of blur on the moutains help separate the factory from the background? [I'm prepared to be flamed!]

Congrat Akassa...

congrats

Congrats for your second place, Akassa

WOOOW!!

nice job

Great work ! Very nice image!

Gee, i wonder who the author is!! Stunning visuals as usual

beautiful image.. surreal in a way. SO sad to have something so beautiful captured.

Beautiful image Poor horsie, don't want to be on its place...

Actually I prefer a story with an effed up ending (i.e. "Seven, Knowing, etc.) but mainly because those ending are NOT expected. Personally I think if you have to explain it, then it makes it hard to fit the theme. A good entry is an obvious entry.

I like the image, and i like your choice of sources, but i don;t see how it fits with the theme, but then again i don;t really understand it :p Good luck, and high marks from me.

Great but to look more sucessed word you need to fix the blur in the end of bottle.

I don't get it, but the bottom of the bottle needs an edge...

Nice blend...and cool final result!

Nice one, but what's the story, why is it an end and not a beginning. Maybe the landscape that we can see through the bottle should be distorted somehow, maybe a spherize.

Love it, everithink looks good, gl

great choices of stock. well put together. Hard topic, fantastically presented. well done author.

nice

very good balance on a very strong image,congrats

One of these days I have to sit down and Learn how to do This.Beautiful Work of Art........VTD

WOW.. what an excellent job of matching the sources (I'm sure that was the hardest part) great Idea!!!

Nice idea, good luck!

looks good

I agree with spaceranger. Nice image but not enough work with the source in my opinion. For some reason this type of nice image always wins tho.

First I must say the image in general is quite nice. However as for use of the source all you seemed to use is the banana bench for her to stand on. She could be standing on anything there's no significant use of the source image, why is this lovely girl standing on a banana? As I said it's a nice image...it just doesn't relate well to the contest source IMO.

Edits you've made have helped and this is a really nice image! Good advice all.

Love the hair! Great image. GL

Great composition!

I like the reflections also

So they don't look like they could fall off every minute. I hope, that can help a little Good luck!

The compostion is really lovely, just like the colours! But maybe you could try to lift the model a bit or give her her feet back, cause right now the proportions doesn't look right. Considering, that she's standing on the "banana" (she is suppose to stand there and the back of the dress is hanging over the "banana", right?) her legs are too short, at least IMO And maybe an idea to make the gloves look more like gloves: you could try to attach them closer to her arms, so they are directly on her arms without space between and widen on her hands (like they do now)...

I think the fins are too see-through and I'm thinking the sheet would be flowing a bit more--nice idea though

Talking about fantasy, this chop reminds me of a dream of mine. I like the magic in the picture. Beautiful!

Thos reflections look beautiful! Good luck!

scene creation is nice ....but I think shading part can be much better.........It luks like milk to me more than a snow .....anyways GL...

Very mystical and serene, in my opinion, the waterline in the horizon is a bit too harsh, try softening it with a lyer mask and a soft round brush. (just my opinion) Very detailed work, especially around her hands. Good luck!
