No splash? No ripples? Reflection would be sharper...see boat reflections.

The water would be reflecting the color of the sky...

Oh, it's you. That would explain the immature remark.

Very funny...good luck!

Interesting, but too simple, and the filter part is much too red.

Nice job, but the edges of the hat band are blurry...I think I might have used a real hat, but not bad.

Good idea, but the chains leading upwards make no sense.
Edit: OK, I guess they don't need to make sense. Still like the idea, though.

Good idea, but the way you've built the background there are two light sources...

Interesting idea, poorly executed.

There was no need to mirror the tree, it's just distracting. The mood & color are good.

RENAISSANCE.

Just as I thought.

Paranoid and delusional as usual. I think rather than spewing innuendo, you should name names. Come right out and say who I've chased off the site, and just one of the horrible lies you've caught me in.
Otherwise, not a bad rant, but I think a few of the ones you removed after thinking twice were better.

Snoooore....look at my comments. Honest observations. Your obfuscatory rationalizations are typical. (Psycho rant to follow, I'm sure).

Hehehe yourself. Bad rationalization for drop shadows on a flat plane where none are needed. Sometimes no matter what you say there's just no way to cover up for things like that. Oh, and another thing: there are no palm trees in London.

Sweet job! Sorry my initial comment didn't show up!

Ridiculous.

Removing the drop shadows would make sense...it's a flat plane.

Only 3 seasons? Why the blur in the center panel?

Looks like my cousin. (Not a great font up top IMHO but the rest looks good).

Author, your Flickr source is a copyrighted photo. Please go to http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/ . I know you can find an image that can work for you, and good luck.

Good image, but looks like a transparent egg, not an X-ray. As lchappell said, please provide your source link.

Seems Photoshopped to me.

Absolutely pulse-pounding.

Congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats again!

Congrats!

Congrats! A well deserved first!

Great! (Just one little nitpick: I would have left the reflections in the goggles). Cool pic, though.

Great idea!

From the PXL guidelines: " If you use your own personal images, the uncut source must be placed in the step by step with an explanation that it is your image. "

The glasses are way too pixelated. If that's your photo, try taking a better one. Also, you need to post the uncut pic in your SBS.

Models walk on runways, not in the middle of the road.

The one fin would have a shadow, but it needs to rotate clockwise about 5 degrees. Good job with the texturing.

What about the neck & the area above the eyes?

ROFL...she would never wear bad shades like that, but good luck, author!
PS: You need to add shadows....

Foreground shadow should be parallel to the one to the right of it. The shadow of the ship should rotate counter clockwise. Good job on the rest.

Sources are not usable. Please read http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/

Good idea, very dramatic. The snake in shadow is more distinct than the one that's lit...left one needs more contrast/saturation. To me it seems like less of the wall at left would be in shadow, judging from the light source. The left arm of the girl in foreground is distorted. You didn't show how you made the opening in the wall. There, is that enough nitpicking? I still like your basic concept, author, just give it a few tweaks. (y0

Great idea and execution...good luck!

Shadow is too dark, too sharp, and too short.

Flower shadows don't match the shadow of the cross.

If no outside sources are used, SBS is required.

Good one...especially like the expression.

Please post original uncut photo.
