congratulations

Your art is perfectly telling the concept.

Congrats!!

If you had posted this in the photography contests, I doubt anyone would have noticed. Fine work! Good luck!

Great work. Love the extra 'context' added by putting the machinery into action and having it 'flying'. Good luck

I can't find words :O Awesome job, respect.

Great job!

I really liked your water drops. Going to see if I can learn something from your sbs. Congrats on second place!

good work...

nice....

very good job author i like the depth of field and the glow around the spatulas

Cool idea! I am not sure but the apples out of the painting should look this way "alife" because they are out of the painting right?! This is just my opinion tho! I love it, truly lovely work!

I like Cezanne...........I like your work!

Author, the contest rules state: "...let one (or more) of the elements in this painting come to life." Not using the oil colors in your render doesn't negate the fact that your elements don't match.

I'm sure that you could create a small "freeform" blotch texture that you could overlay onto the apples, slightly warping it for variation, but I am not a 3d user - there are some excellent 3d artists here who may have a suggestion.

Your apples are lovely, they just don't look like they came out of the picture, they look like someone went shopping and bought some huge yellow apples...

try using some dirt maps in alpha or generate some layers of noise some large and some small and put it in bump as well gl.

The apples are too yellow and "perfect." The ones in the painting have a lot of red splotches, some green, and a few bruises.

Really like your idea, man! Though it's a bit cartoon (comic style) renders in my opinion. But surely it's a fantastic work, Author! Top notch, high score!

congrats! knew this is Top 3 stuff

congrats great idea!

This hurts my brain...

Clever idea and good composition the only nitpicks I have are, two of the cigarettes needed a better smoothing angles as they are looking a little jagged, and the edges of the Pxleyes logo could have been cleaner overall good work.

Lovely floral pattern

actually, I'm glad you did because I like this A LOT better!!!

simple, nice... I like

Nice...would make a great textile pattern!

Very Matissey good luck author

you still changed the colors? You are supposed to only decrease the colors used.

The contest is to "decrease the color depth anywhere from 2 to 16 colors (1-4 bit)." You're not supposed to additionally play with the image by then changing and merging colors. That is unfair to the other entries.

I know it's too late, sorry Author, but the hats are not just supposed to be reflected (good job), but also must be angled differently to match the change in head positions.

great lighting, textures.... a little too perfect feel, maybe add a little "used" feel maybe better?

otherwise, it is PERFECT!

Nice idea and excellent entry, well done.

Great entry author, GL!

Great concept! The elephant's edges need a little more blur so it doesn't look so rough.

Great idea. Isn't the wood a little too bright? I dunno i think in real it doesn't shine as much even if the light source is strong.

There's a lot of work in this image, wondering what the black smudge on the top of his trunk is? (You think you could replace it with reading glasses?) unless it is something I'm missing ?!?!?!

very nice image, very good job

haha, I found the same image as the one posted by MAD, possibly your inspiration. When you google "impossible" its on like the 2nd page. Good work.

You need to provide either an SBS showing how you created this, or source links if you used other images to make it.

Sebastian E's other designs are also awesome and bend the rules of possible. Worth a look.

please mention reference image

Very nice design!
