This picture seems to have only harnessed the basic shape of the source. Even the color seems so heavily modified...you should have kept the texture at least. The background and surfaces seem very weak as well. I would try to brush it up, look for a more detailed b/g, keep the detail in the coin, and make it seem real as oppose to so cartoony

i feel as though the backgrounds look rather choppy

its blurry

nice idea .. but go and try use the high res image your images is far to pixelated

Cool Looking

Very Cool Looks like a Tongue

No.....

sure

What a sweet take on the source.. good job

You have the 'motion blur' for movement, as a tool, and you could paint some waves around it.

good work... the blades seem to dark or distracting or something... maybe fade them a bit....but nice composition

You should go back to the psd fiel and save it in a higher resolutions, the low graphs take away the flavor.

You should make the background looking liek a drawing to match your composition, some filters curves should do it. Otherwise it looks like copy paste.

nice

nice

Very nice - perhaps a little more movement on the water would be good, but all in all an excellent pic.

looks very good but it's sooo small.. can't really see the details, especially the reflection.. any chance of uploading high res?

Hmm i'm not sure i understand what's going on in the image... good luck though.

You realize that by just mirroring your image, the shadows are now totally screwed up?

do u plan to make it really same ? , maybe it's better if u edited the cloud[?]
GL anyway

wow. love this

The lock and beds still look 2-dimentional

I noticed that the left baseboard is higher than the right. It kind of thows it off.

care full with the distortion of the meerkat (stabilze his proportion back to the original pic and add a shadow below him an you will get higher votes..) other's will be along to help... (over all a very nice Idea.. good luck)

EDIT: Distort and darken the shadow right below him in to a dark little OVAL just below him (it will make him look like he's planted on the ground.. (make sure you gauss blur (lots LOTS of Tutorials on shadow work, will really help you improve the image..) Equalize the proportions on the meerkat so he doesn't look so squished.. use you original photo of him to put him back the way he was (I personally love to distort images as well, but in a contest it's better to keep him in his original form ESPECIALLY on photoshop contests) Like I said before.. just look at shadow casts from other objects in you picture and follow them as your guide (ie... the rock in the backgrounds shadows are going the opposite of the one you added) It's a really interesting chop.. good luck

Look at the Match tip in this tutorial.. (Step NUMBER 11) you will see the oval shadow I was talking about

(Don't spend TOO MUCH time fixing this piece.. it can ruin it if you go too far... once again .. good luck)

AND REMEMBER this is just IMHO... you decide and control the image ALWAYS!!!!

the wet floor looks good, except for some jagged edges. the bucket and mop don't fit.

nice done

I think bowl need some shadows work around outside edges, it will make it have some volume. Linear gradiend doesn't do the job in this case.

The ripples don't seem to quite match and wasn't the original image a lot sharper than this?

The bowl still looks a little 2 dimentional.

This was a good idea. I laughed. Maybe a little more shadowing or burning on the lock though.

i like the water ^o^

You still need to add shadow to the front plane of the mattresses...the tops would be lighter, the fronts darker...

you may want to repeat the lip all around the pot.. or mask out around the peanuts so they look piled on top of each other..(the rope could be drawn taught as well).. IMHO.. good luck

Sorry you had so much trouble... double check you source links as well, I had trouble with the second one

try to get rid of those repetative patterns

The front edge of the mattresses would be in shadow, otherwise nice job...

Hehe good one, it would be more effective if you could try to remove the one of the men with the horses, because both sides look too similar at the moment. Good luck!

It would of been nice to see a high resolution.

very funny! love it!

HUH?

Holy Scrap!!!!! I'll be the one in front of the running crowd! Great image!

Nice idea! The background should match the finger cut out though... g/l

Sorry to ask, but what is it?

wkwkwkkwk...

YIPE YIPE YIPE YIPE YIPE (right behind Reap)

thats a good doggy !!!!!! Run!!!!!!!!!!

I like the idea... but something about the lower body is distracting and probably should be taken out.. g/l

i don't like the part of the elephant under the water, there is no distortion of it and witht he water being so dirty i doubt you would be able to see through the water anyway

Hiding...???

I don't think it's on theme...sorry...
