One of your best!
(Fish shadow needs to shift to left to match light source...).

Original image except for the rain, which has been really overdone lately.

Lovely image...too bad you had to censor it.

Greymval is right, I missed the SBS. Now I'm impressed.

Get another formula. You can only fool people so much for so long.

OK, source link updated...why, since you have such a good source pic to work with, is your image so distorted? And why not add a backgound? Try to be creative, or why bother?

Stop it....please, please, please...just stop it! Aaaarrrggghhhh!
Edit: Author, my comment has little to do with you personally except that you've obviously seen a lot of flying island pics, and "slightly desaturated child on a slightly desaturated background" pics and others with "A tree growing out of something to make it look vaguely surrealistic" pics, and so here you are with your version of this stuff. I expect you'll want to have people think you're a genius, instead of just another unimaginative imitator. Others have done the same in other ways, and seem to get good votes in spite of being obvious imitators. Now you've made yet another derivative work. I expect more from this site. I hope others do as well. I hope I can expect more from you in future.
At least you could have gotten your light source right on all the flying islands.

Link doesn't lead to the source used.
Edit: Some sort of background would add to the image.

Funny, but the mouse shouldn't have a drop shadow.

Welcome back, author! It's great to see another of your inspired parodies!

Agree with Greymval. You still have time, although it looks like your alternate source would work well if you if you worked with the perspective a bit.

MossyB, you are indeed correct.

Your "Silent night" looks like bright day.

No SBS? Low vote.

Author, I'm not singling you out because this isn't a bad work, but there are SO many entries who don't consider light sources. If they did, they wouldn't get comments like mine.
SO...the question is...not why didn't YOU consider the light source, but why don't THEY?
EDIT: I still like the concept behind your entry, and good luck.

Very interesting approach to the source. SBS would get you votes. As of now, I'm not impressed.
Your background source is missing.

Cool! Where's the throne?

Very realistic...GL!

Nice work indeed...GL!

Light on the hull is from the right, on the superstructure, from the left.

Great job! Leg shadows could be more defined, but I love it.

Very nicely done, but the right side of the bridge structure isn't attached to anything.
(Just scale it over that way a bit, and your pic will be great!).

Good mood & color, but too many eagles makes the viewer aware of the obvious duplication.

No beard (s)?

Lovely imagination...good luck, author!

The grass is out of scale compared to the people in the image, especially at the very top section. In the sections you've masked, some grass is in focus & some is blurry...also we can see abrupt cut lines in many places.

Good idea! IMO one giraffe and a different composition would be even better. GL author.
PS: I won't mention the snarky reference in the comment on your entry, but try to get the shadows better.

SBS could be more detailed, but good work here!

Interesting image. The bird is way too low to have any dramatic presence in the pic. It would have much more contrast & visual impact against the darker area of the sky.

Please post your source links, or mention the photos are your own in the SBS.

Great image...congrats!

Conflicting light sources, but good mood.

Great idea, but IMO the background & frame distract from your image.

It was "Are you serious"...not everyone submits a serious entry.

Great idea & SBS...good luck!

And BTW, there's no high res image.

There was no hostility meant in the comment I deleted. I chose to delete it out of fairness to someone who made a very simple entry which didn't say much to me. It still doesn't, but I don't enjoy being treated like some kind of ogre for making an honest comment, so here I am saying basically the same thing. Like it or don't. That's what the comment section is for. Author, maybe in later entries you will dazzle me with your genius and I will praise you to the heavens.

Good imagination. A better SBS would help, but GL...plenty of time to add one.

You should have blurred out your name in the SBS, not the DA author's...your entry isn't anonymous.

Good image, but works like this definitely need a SBS so we can learn something from them.

Still a great idea & great blend...good to see it back!
(But wasn't it in the banana contest before?)

Not bad. Goldfish should pop more.

The light source on the umbrella in foreground is opposite the background light source...

Love your sense of humor, author!

I think you may have obliterated too many senses here....

Awwwww...how cutesy-wutsey.

Conflicting light sources, levitating horse & rider.

Good idea. Might be better if you flipped the background so the light matches the light on the balloons & figure.

Interesting idea, but whatever you did to the original sky source didn't improve it.

Good idea & color.
