What's the source for the smashed effect on the globe?

Love this little fishy...unfortunately your sources are from blogs, and not usable. Please read http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/ You should have plenty of time to find better sources and resubmit your entry...good luck!

You distorted source 6...

Pretty good...shadow of background robot should rotate about 5 degrees counterclockwise.

Nice job...very Magritte-looking.

Good idea, but you don't explain how you did the red skin texture in the SBS...that's what the text boxes are for...

Sweet job, good luck...not much else to do with this source.

Would be nice if you made a SBS with the displacement map so members could learn. Kinda cheezy that you didn't...

Author, your sources are indeed legal. Why didn't you just post them in the first place? Don't you know how it works here yet?

Final result is too red...color matching step 7 would look better.. No link to the splash or explanation in SBS?

Color is better in step 7. No link to the splash or explanation in SBS?

Source links? SBS?

Perspective is a bit confusing...I would have raised his "cage" so the bottom part was above the horizon line...but the mood & color is good.
EDIT: Looks great now, author...good luck!

Good thinking...

Bird in hand would seem a lot smaller...

Perspective, light & shadow on shelves needs work. Also, the angle of the tops of the cups & bowls would change with each level.

Seen this done better before...

The source is only used incidentally here...

Well, it's a lot better than the rest...good luck, author.

SBS would help.

Please fix the link...

Shadows are fine. The light radiates from an obvious central object. And @ Martrex: read the FAQ. An entry doesn't need to have a SBS unless it is created solely from the PXL source with no outside sources. An entry with a decent SBS will usually get better votes, though...

Looks good...would be better with a horizon line & a bit of delineation between sky & water. Good luck.

Author, why not just post all of your souces correctly in the first place?

Pay more attention to edges, especially around the eyes...shadows, too.

Author, nobody cares how old you are. Your work has to stand on its own.

Too blurry & filter heavy, 3 different light sources...

Great masking on the face & hair...please let us know how you did it!

Good work.

Link 5 doesn't work, and there's no source for the mattress & floor...

Most of the broken bits would be brighter, and the background would look distorted through the hourglasses, but nicely done.

Would be better if you used color to create depth instead of each pair of trees being the same color as they recede...maybe a bit of blur, too.

I do love my fans.

Author, I was referring to the lost detail on the white areas of the dancer.

Texture segments don't match well, but it's an interesting idea...

Post sources for tree brushes & straighten the perspective on the large building...everything else is good.

Sources?

The Thing never had a tree growing out of his face...

Eyes look fake, you should have kept the original fabric...you could have done that by overpainting the way you did, but on a separate layer, then reducing the opacity and/or playing with blending modes.

I agree with Barnacle...

Very realistic looking...good luck!
PS: Could be improved by a background, but still good stuff.

I don't see water hitting the puddle...

Shadows need work...

Great job!

Looks constipated...

Yeah, really suspicious...ROFL.

Can you say "Really bad taste"?

SBS will get you votes...

Not good to make background color the same as the wall...doesn't create depth...better to go with original background pic...

And where did the giraffe come from?
