Good mood, but the shadow doesn't match the light source.

Good mood. Nicely done.

Just commenting on what I see. IMO the source pic is photoshopped.

Look at the white edges. It's badly chopped.

Not getting involved in politics here, but source 3 is obviously a photoshopped image.

Author, much improved...good luck!

Good mood, but the bar shadows need work. First, there wouldn't be shadows at all on the inside of the wall. Second,the shadows on the floor would be parallel to the ones on the sill. Just draw a line from the light source through the bars and onto the floor to adjust.

Head is too large and too high. Light is from upper right, but no corresponding shadow at left of head.

Well EX-CUUUUSE MEEEEEEE!

Congrats, great work!

Welcome back, pal! Get your sources right. How do you say "knucklehead" in Italian?

Not bad, but the front edge of the curb could use some definition.

SBS would help a lot.

LOL...where are the arms?

Much too dark to see what's going on. Step 15 is better.

Figures need the same shadows as the building, sand in front of building should conform to the contours of the facade. Looks good otherwise.

Congrats, nice job.

The drop shadows don't work, they make planes & figures look like they're against a painted backdrop.

Nice image...link to face model?

It's a good image, and you have used the source somewhat, but you could have made something almost identical without the use of source elements.

I've seen those flying over my house! GL author.

Good idea...GL author!

It's a good idea, but Enblanco is correct. I'd also change the format from a horizontal rectangle to a vertical one, but that's just me. GL author.

Congrats!

Very good mood author!

Much better image now, IMO...good luck!

Don't use ALL CAPS...it's considered shouting, and rude. And text speak isn't so great either.

Looks great in hi-res too...GL author!

I can indeed! My point is that it doesn't have to be distorted compared to the original painting. You can do better.

Good idea, but you can see in Step 3 that the photo is too distorted. Should be a simple fix.

Good pic, but the hi-res is low res.

Love the humor! IMO the snowman looks better in step 7.

Not bad. Might have more depth if the background values differed from the foreground.

Don't use the magic wand for selections, use the pen tool or lasso tool. You have plenty of time to clean this up and resubmit.

Never made a snow kitty! Maybe this winter I'll enlist a couple of neighborhood kids and see what we can come up with. Thanks for the inspiration, author!

Simple but nicely done...GL author!

Distorted chairs are just distracting IMO. The simple man in the chair would suffice.

Could have been made in PS or Illustrator.

Give the eyes some highlights. Otherwise, not bad. Would be better if you had posted a hi-res image. You still can.

Reaper on a tricycle...LOL...pretty darn goofy.

Pretty gigantic buggy compared to the scale of the aqueduct...

Vegetation on ground is out of scale with the rest.

Nice work. Also suffers from the "two heads" problem, and the green on the building is too yellow...brings the background forward...suggest muting that and the red on the roof to help create depth. Color wise, backgrounds should recede. Still, it's mostly a very good repair job except for not reducing the excessive graininess of the original image. GL author.

Good job & SBS!

Even baby space rangers need shoulders & arms...otherwise, nice image.

LOL...now that all that stuff is out of the way, I'd like to point out that the light source is from the upper right, so the shadow is completely opposite the light source.

Just a suggestion: I might make the color of the steps closer to the color of the head, and add a shadow on the left side of the white object at right, since the lighting is from our right. Interesting use of the source...GL.

Hey, just my opinion...you might wanna clear up some of the white edges on the foreground figures, though...

Very good idea for use of the source. In hi-res there are a few obvious straight crop lines, otherwise well done!

Good blend indeed.
