Not a bad idea, very incomplete SBS.

Great idea, and very realistic. GL author!

@pshoudini: Maybe you should look at the SBS before commenting. It always helps.

Good idea. You need to use the text boxes in the SBS so we can understand how each step was made.

Funny! Try to fix the rocket man's smoke trail. The edges are too hard. Type is skewed, and not the greatest font for a word balloon, which is also skewed. Type and balloon should be parallel to the horizon.

Bottom of large figure is too blurry, otherwise this is a really fun image!
PS: Yep, welcome back!

Needs a better shadow (look at source shadow), and you might want to cover the nipple with a crack brush just in case.

Suggest creating more contrast between foreground & background. Would also be good to light the floating things the same as the castle.

Good imagination, but there would not be a planet inbetween cloud formations.

Good image. I'd suggest changing the color value of the bark on the limo to make it stand out from the background.

The strong light on the treetops & background really make this shot, and in this case I think the symmetry adds to it. Great image.

You need to post links to all sources used, or post your own uncut photos in the SBS.
And BTW, I have no idea how the carrot source or stylus were used in your image, despite the SBS.

Best image yet. SBS would make it even better.

You still haven't posted the uncut image of the girl, or a link to it.

Congrats, should have won!

I have no idea how this image is supposed to signify enlightenment.

Author, you can easily find two similar images to use, then resubmit. There are plenty of girls & lions out there.

There are some hard edged lines at right of the face, and some edges could be blurred, but nice job.

Hahahahahahaha! This is great! Made my day!

Excellent work & SBS. High vote from me.
(Love the light & color especially).

Lovely work...GL author!

Cute little guy.

Darken one or the other.

The top of the chimney vent disappears against the background.

Good blend...I'm glad I don't have these in my garden!

You've got the sun rising in front of the mountains...

Very well done image!

Skewing the horizon of the source pic even more doesn't work.

Big difference now...good luck!

In retrospect you'd have a much more realistic image if the props were given a radial blur, but it's still good work.

Very cool looking little guy, but the tusk on the elephant source image was pretty crappy. Maybe you could give him a better tusk to improve your final image.

Your original background source is pretty hi-res, but in your entry it's very grainy (About the same res as your figure's pic, actually). Try some surface blur or something, because it reduces the appeal of what would otherwise be a great image.

IMO would be better without the gut-busted alien, so the focus would be on her. Good blend on the figure.

Congrats!

Nice work...very dramatic lighting!

Sorry, makes no sense to me.

Kinda hard to see the frog part. Maybe it could be bigger? Anyway, good effort.

Fabulous image and a well deserved win. Sorry to be so late in commenting!

If this is actually used, I hope you will reverse the backwards T at the end of "talent".

Great mood & color...love the skin texture & lighting too!

LOL..."survivor" looks just as dead as everybody else!

Not bad, but the hi-res image isn't any bigger.

Did I miss something? I'm sorry. How would you say they are being cooked? I will leave it up to your expertise.

Well okay, if they're not fried, I apologise. What are they then...broiled, poached, parboiled?

Very clever image, but it's just a cat on a fish. The colors work very nicely, but I think people have been too easily amused.

LOL...fried knights.

Would have been great if you had shown the scorched, blackened & blistered flesh on the hand.

Good image, extra points for humor!

Good work. Could have used some edge refinement before you applied the filter.

Great work, especially the composition. Top notch!
