Congrats, should have won!

This concept has been done to death, but I must say you've done it very well.

Detailed SBS, blurry outcome.

Much improved, author! Just one thing: the light on the moon is from our right, so the planet would have more of a highlight on that side.

Planet image is very low res. You can easily find a replacement with decent resolution. GL author.

Good grins here, author, and well made image. GL!

Interesting idea! Try to get the elephant shadow right, and maybe reduce the saturation on the other animals. They look very bright to be in that dim alley.

Not only color balance the ears, but take a soft brush & blur the edges. This could be a much better entry...GL author.

LOL author! Must have seen your image just as it popped up, hence my slightly premature comment. Good luck!
(PS: Nice job making the fish basket).

Good idea & well made image! Seems to need a source link for the fish-shaped basket.

Hahahahahahaha!!! Thanks, this is great!

Really nice job with the texture on the ear, but blur the sharp edges on the black stripes.

Nice job! I tried this and went nuts.

For me, the rust color really makes this image.

Wherever the lines lead, it's out of frame and therefore has no visual interest.

Color matching the ears would make this a much better entry.

Good bird photo, but try to color match the ears for a better result. GL author.

Very effective image indeed! GL author!

Pretty good use of the found sources, minimal use of the given source.

That is one freaky lookin' source pic. Nice find, nice blend!

Try to clean up the ragged edges on the eyes.

Good idea. Might have been better to make the flat color areas actually flat to simulate a comic illustration. Would have been simple to do and would look cleaner.

Great blend & color match!

Good work. Love the background texture.

Author, what does your comment have to do with the quality of your entry and my attempt to help it improve?

If the plaque is not transparent, why do I see the rock texture through it?

The plaque is on a curved surface & should be warped accordingly. It's also transparent.

Looks better to me. GL author.

Nice clean graphic image...GL author!

Good blend!

Should have easily taken first place. No accounting for taste, but congrats author!

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache. )

Look at the source pic. One ear is higher than the other, and the center of the ears should be lower, in line with the eyes. The color match could still be better.

Nice. Where's the SBS?

The ears are too high (if you really want them to be that big) and could be color matched better.

Most of the design is distracting from the focus of the t-shirt.

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache...

Sloppy work where the stairs meet the crayon thing. Edges of crayon are sloppy too.

Would be nice if the heads were attached to the bodies...

The image of the model would work in just about any background. Mirroring the source image doesn't do anything but distract from your concept.

Would be much better if you made a SBS to show how you blended the images.

Author, have you saved your work in layers? If so, just use certain layers as steps in your SBS, It's not hard.

Great idea, and very clean...good luck, author!

You need to make a step-by-step guide if you don't use outside source images. Read Step 5 here: http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/07/how-to-participate-in-pxleyes-photoshop-contests/

Who knew the Navy had psychedelic missiles...

SBS would be good.

I don't see tears, I see blurry blobs.

This is by far the best entry so far. IMO it should include www.pxleyes.com

Needs www.pxleyes.com. Also the PXL logo is hardly visible.

You need a link for the man in the boat.
