Not sure if your source is usable...that would be up to the mods...but you need to include the shadow of the doll in your image.

Well done!

This is confusing. I see it as either a gigantic bouquet of flowers that don't exist in the real world next to a life size person & object, or tiny replicas next to some sort of bouquet of flowers that don't exist in the real world.

Congrats on good work!

Maybe just use the lion cub source pic the way it was originally?

Pretty gigantic needle...

Good use of the given source. Your photos of the statues are clear...why make them so grainy?

Funny! Would be better with a hi-res image.

Love the expression on the lion cub, but the white highlight makes the body die against the milk in background.

Looks more like a giant hand than a shrunken animal, but good mood & color.

Nice job...brings to mind some of the H.P. Lovecraft sea creatures. GL author.

.

I'd give the swing seats some thickness, otherwise it's a nice job.

The soldier firing the rifle should be flipped horizontally. As it is, he's firing at his own men.

You just used some clouds from the source pic? Your image could have been made from any cloud source. The perspective on the building is wrong.

There's an abrupt cutoff line on the light rays at left, white edges around the prow of the boat, the reflection of the guitar is at the wrong angle, and the water is just overlaid on the foreground.

Congrats...Nice work!

Gull is way too small & dies against the white background.

Best one yet. GL author!

I'm glad to be your first friend here. Welcome to this crazy site! But this space is really for comments on the entry, so if you'd like to send a private message, that would be better.

Needs more green.

Nope, not a mod. I just pop on & off a lot through the day. All the mods have an avatar that says MOD on it. You can PM me with your question, or contact the mods here: mods@pxleyes.com

I know plenty of people who don't have to drink to be all of those things...

Good idea, great mood!

Links 2 & 3 don't work.
EDIT: Links work fine now.

Too much debris from just one bottle, but otherwise nicely done.

Too bad you laughed at suggestions which would have improved your entry & gotten a better vote.

Well done!

Nice image. Just one little thing: The flame behind the engine nacelle on our right is correct, it's on the same axis. The one on our left should also align in the same way. GL author.
EDIT: Yep, looks good now.

Author, if the apples & plate are your photos, you need to post the uncut images in a SBS.

Bear needs a shadow. Compare to source shadows.

Good idea, but the edges of the tiles should have thickness.

Thanks for explaining, and good luck! (My only suggestion would be to give the edge of the hat a slight blur, but I love what you've done.).

Looks great! What did you do with the skin texture?

Looks good! What's the source for the scratch texture?

Good over all, but a bit repetitive, and you wouldn't see stars through the moon.

Good question author. Many times it's obvious, but not always. All I can say is try to develop a sharp eye. Sometimes the author of an image will say it's been manipulated in the description. GL on your entry.

Should have done better!

Great thinking and good use of the source.

Edit: Reminds me of the great Talking Heads song, Once in a lifetime:

"And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was."

Ummm...it's a BIC lighter...
(And why would the other lighter say "small" if they're both the same size?).

eld81, if you think an entry is off theme, don't say so in comments. Red flag the image and let the mods decide. Since you've done nothing on the site so far, your opinion is sort of irrelevant anyway.

Funny idea & good execution!

Nice job, author...very believable.

She wouldn't have a shadow against the background on her left side, otherwise it's a nice piece of work!

Good find on the teeth, lots of blurry edges.

More believable now.

Identically shaped pieces of debris with curved edges? Not very realistic. A few revisions might make me want to believe this. GL author.

Not to mention the fact you haven't provided a link to the body of the keyboard.

Very frightening blend! GL author.

I don't vote on SBS steps, I vote on the final image, and in the final image, none of that work shows, which is what the contest is supposed to be about.
