Sorry author: thought you merged in another part of sky in there for depth.. My bad.

very sweet image... GOOD LUCK (maybe just a little more grass..layered like.. just to give a little more depth.. but not necessary at all.. very good job

This turned out great. Good job!

good job!! great use of sources

Sources for the background and sky etc? The line is running through the tree horizontally.

how cute!

it always stinks when ya get blown away reminds me of Mary Poppins.

cute

honestly CMYK46 there is more to photomanipulation than just geting images from deviantart a lot of work goes into it and i find it insulting to all photomanipulators that you would call his work "prefab" especialy since not everyone has a good camera that is capable of taking high quality images to use!

very inventive and great THANKS to Cornelia.. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Good job! Great image

great!!

Congrats!

The powerline runs through the tree horizontally.

The hearts need to be distorted to fit the road.

I would have to agree with laulei - that powerline is distracting, use the eraser and chop it up a little, make it look like leaves?? Also your buildings in the background are sharper than your tree? Maybe blur them some more?

You have masterfully put the sources together, I especially like the way the leaves look to be floating and the transperancy of the lace in the umbrella...nice work

Loverly!

nice use of source, the hearts give a sweet feel and support the love of the couple. i feel sorry for the man. having to hold her there for a whole week just so your image looks good heee.

Congratulations for 2nd

Congratulations for 3rd

Congratulations for 1st

Congratulations for 2nd

Great Image..But I think sosipatra is right about the hearts, their perspective looks a little off. You might want to taper/flatten them in or a little more by her feet.

yellow hearts looks taht they are in the air...overall NICE image.

hope she brought some super glue for those heels walking on that road..hehehe.. great job and good feel good luck

Nice image. Good luck!

i hear you, downoffthedragon. one thing you can fix: those leaves' shadows look almost like blurry stains on the image.. almost like the healing brush gone wrong if you know what i mean.. pay a bit more attention to them (especially on the bottom left part of the image)

congrats

congrats

congrats

Very lovely idea and beautifully done. Two minor things draw my attention away from the main subject of this work. The power line thru the bush should not be there and if the leaves were toned down a little bit our attention would be drawn to the main subject. I do like this a lot!

I have to admit, DA has made me lazy. I try to use as many of my own images as possible in manipulations (because I can't draw, either), but DA is so tempting with all of its available photos to use. I think that you've done a beautiful job, Author. But I think that you should mask out the "hair/halo" behind her head.

Congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats!

I think the picture is quite lovely... good luck author... I love how you mapped out the idea and made it come together quite well

images from DA don't look as sterile as the images on SXC. Images from DeviantArt are pre-posed, but in most cases it's the only place to find what you're looking for.

Congrats!

Sorry, I have nothing against this author. I'm just sick and tired of DA images that have been pre-posed and costumed being used for their prefab WOW factor.

LOL...where would we be without the great folks at DA?

C'mon CMYK, that's not really fair. I think the image is great, there are a couple of parts around the model that makes it look like she's casting a shadow on the sky, but it's a great find. It's a very creative use of a difficult source to work with, so good job on that. G'luck!

Yet another collage of DA images....(yawn).

Congrats, nice work

Congrats for your second place, Akassa!

Congrats for your third place, Akassa!

Congrats Akassa! Sweet composition
