Too much use of prefab brushes...

Great idea, but the hair is too dark...

Might be good to remove the seam in the shoulder...

IMHO not a very creative use of source...this could have been made from a pic of anything brown & hairy...

What Waz said...and I wish you had removed that nasty goop dripping from the eyes...

The camels are floating in mid air...?

Good job! SBS would make it better...

You inverted something, but what did you have to replace? Read contest guideline.

Clean up the top left edge and give the tower some dimension...

Desaturate chain, add shadow. Also, light sources are opposite...

Sky reconstruction suffers a bit, but not bad.

Yes, your source pic is legal. Unfortunately you haven't added a reflection of the candy cane on the table to the cup...

Look at your source pic...the reflection could look more realistic, fading out at the bottom.

From the guidelines: Contests with source images: In a source contest it's mandatory to use the source image in your entry. Not only use it, but also manipulate it in some way.

You just added an axe to the source pic...?

Good idea but light is from above, so there wouldn't be a shadow at the top of the nose...

Needs SBS...

Fix the vertical line at the peak, and blur the background a bit...

Clean up the edges of the figure and post your source links...

I think I might have cleaned up the nasty patches on the fur, and left the neck behind the ear a bit more human, but it's still a nice job.

Excellent work.

I don't see how this is "unfair"...these are all lame little rat dogs.

It looks like neon swirls are some kind of new fad that's been happening lately. Guess what: it's meaningless and just distracts from the image. Sorry I had to pick on your entry author, but the neon swirl thing is just silly.

Foreground & background are both distracting...the focus should be on the contest elements, which are somewhat confusing...

Doesn't show much dimension, but certainly on theme... Bottom part of tree fold should show a triangular upward element corresponding to the top of the tree.

Pretty good image, and I appreciate the sentiment. I have not had red meat in 42 years. However, the term "animal rights" is confusing to me. It suggests that my cat should have the right to vote because she is considerably more intelligent than some humans who have that right.

Good work, author! Glad you got your images sorted out...

Interesting idea. Listen to Dan.

Funny idea! Hope you have nine lives...

Would be better without the distracting background...

Much better, good luck!

Baseball stuff needs shadows to match figures, but good job...

Figures need shadows (see bucket & chair) but nice job.

Funny indeed!

SBS needed...

Erase edges of germs visible around outside of glass rim...

Coconut shadows should conform to shapes of rocks...look at the shadow of the pot...

Gray rust looks strange...maybe add more rust to shiny backs of signs...

Flat...

IMHO roots still need work.

For an entry like this to be appreciated, you really need to post a SBS...

The idea is excellent, but the execution leaves something to be desired, IMHO.

Very blurry
EDIT: Author, if this is an all source entry you need to post a Step-by-step showing how you made the flowers from the source pic...

Not bad, SBS would be better...needs links for sky & water.

Looks good except for conflicting light sources...

Animals look cartoony & everything else is realistic...otherwise, pretty good chop.

You could have made it look like the bear's weight was making an impression on the bed by liquifying the end of the bed, but it's still a nice job.
EDIT: Yes, better now...GL!

Pretty small...might be better to replace the arrow with the "no camels" sign.

Gotta up the levels on the cops a bit...

One huge shower head, too...
