Moon should be round & has white edges. It should be above the horizon. There are several vertical lines at left in the clouds.

Light source on shamrock is opposite light source on the glass.

Can't see much difference.

Makes my head hurt.

Very well done! Great lighting!

Great blend as usual!

Author, please read the contest guidelines: Since no outside sources are allowed a step by step is required. That means posting your original photo.

If that's your own photo you need to post it uncut in SBS.

Good blend...very believable.

Good blend & good humor!

Might have been better to have a hand coming from a striped stocking, and a sneaker on an arm, but still a good entry.

Wrong perspective, needs a reflection.

Nicely done, but a bit too dark.

I see you found out. GL author. Read the contest guidelines next time.

Lovely.

Post original photo in SBS as per contest guidelines.

Wings up is more dramatic.

We have these in our yard...they ate my cat.
Nice work!

Good idea & well cropped! GL author.

See the shape behind the eagle head & to our right? That's what I meant. And IMO the rear wing is too small. Still a good pic.

Good blend & very colorful. I'd remove the phantom part of the mountain from the castle pic...it looks like it could somehow be a ghost of the rear wing, which is too small.

Looks like you found out. Good pic!

Please add original photo to SBS.

Not to say this isn't a good entry, CBR isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Nice CBR.

Great composition, light & color...GL author!

Could use a better background. Trees are the same color & value as wings.

Nicely done indeed...GL author!

Nice CBR.

Better now.

Light on figure is opposite light on rocks.

Good job matching the lighting. The kids look a bit more saturated than the woman. GL author.

Maybe give the sound effect a gradient or something to differentiate it from the color of the burst, and tone down the graininess of the background, which competes with the grain on the aircraft.

Great job...best of luck!

Until I checked the sources, I almost thought you had done something original here...my mistake. And the man's shadow on the moon is ridiculous, as are the multiple light sources.

Or a blob, which is why I asked...

What's the blob in the background?

You've got part of the reflection on the grass, and the dock ends before the water.

The background hills look like they're in front of the tree.

Please fix link 2.

You don't show the wheels in SBS.

Source for wheels?

What George said. GL author.

Both source images are clear. I see no reason to blur them.

How about some real water in the background?

Blurry compared to source images.

Great photos, author! The blending on the neck of the head on our left could be better...it's too low on the back. (Think where spinal cords would join, and matching stripes) Well done otherwise.

Ball is too big, otherwise nicely done.

Whoa, scary! Good blend, too.
