Cool idea. The edge of the foreground surface, and the notch in it especially, should be stronger. The biggest moon/planet seems more like a disc than a sphere.

I agree that this could be an interesting ad. The lavender 'wings' are not blue, however. And as an ad, I think it would work better if (at a minimum) her skin and hair were their natural color -- which would be counter to the requirements of this contest.

Evocative, but more gray than blue. Lighting is off: If the inside of her left leg and breast (for example) are lit, there must be an additional light source that should also be casting some light on the balusters. And why does she seem to have a penis? [I'm not passing judgment, just trying to understand the image.] The pointy shadow on her inner left thigh is also weird.

The ocean ripple idea is very creative. I think keeping the upper edges of the fingers smoother would look more realistic. The 'solar flare' thing happening now runs counter to the image's emphasis on the pull of gravity.

With the light coming from the left, the right side of the bride needs more shadows, particularly her train.

The light on the big ship seems to be coming from the right, the source photo has a left-side light source, and the bright spot in your clouds suggests possibly a third light source. I think this would be more dramatic if the big ship's sails weren't so bright.

Pretty, but now you have two light sources: the sun in the background from your snapshot and the light coming from the left in the source photo. Cloning out your sun would be the simplest solution. Also, the blackness of the near (not cloud-covered) ocean seems extreme given the brightness of the sky.

Interesting image, but it's lacking in blueness. I think the odd fin-like thing on the left side only distracts and would be best deleted.

I like that this image could be naturally all blue if less-intense moonlight were streaming through the window. I'm confused about where the short, stocky angel is standing. She seems to be standing in the ray of light, except her face is behind the light and the hem of her gown is behind the shine on the floor. What is the source of the glow on her right (from our viewpoint) side?

Too minimalist, I think. Certainly doesn't meet the "image with various sources" requirement of the contest description, but that's also the case with many of the other entries.

But what does a cheerful heart have to do with blue? Nice work, but I don't get the end result.

Blue enough to me. Cool idea, but I don't understand why the glass-block grid doesn't seem to extend to the right or the lower left.

I have to agree that it is essentially blue. But confusing and uninteresting also come to mind, I'm afraid.

I would personally crop out most of the boring ceiling. The empty fireplace opening (which doesn't seem to match the lines of the surround) is a deficiency. The furniture is cool but seems oversized relative to the back wall (or the back wall is undersized relative to the furniture).

Cool, except for the steam -- should be wispier IMO, and probably doesnt create much of a reflection. The angle of the handle reflection seems off as well (too far from the real handle, I think). And why doesn't the white table-top oval shine not affect the tea-pot reflection?

This is not coming together for me. Is that a fence or a music staff? Why aren't all the curves smooth? If it's a music staff, why are the notes on the ground? The straight-on view of the guitar makes it seem so flat relative to the fence thing. I think a more dramatic background is what is needed.

I'm guessing the answer may be yes. But getting back to your entry, it is a bit simplistic. The front Lodd is oversized. I like that the front Lodd extends beyond the frame of the image, but the same should be the case for the rear Lodd to give the impression of an infinite number of Lodds.

OliviasArts' comment poisoned my mind , but looking at the SBS was the antidote. I like how the SBS shows not just a logo but a total coordinated banner (which I see now should really have been part of this contest). Black is intense and I think it makes a great background for pics, but accommodating it will require more of a redesign of the site than your SBS shows, I think. More problematic, black also suggests classy, formal, fine art -- qualities perhaps not wholly consistent with the personality of this site.

Cool and usable. I wish the big version were completely below the little, as-it-will-be-used version so it would be easier to evaluate how this logo will work in real life.

The mere fact that this could actually be used distinguishes it from the bulk of the entries here. Simple and sleek. Equal treatment of all the elements avoids misleading focus on confusing subsets (What does the "yes" mean? OR What's with "eyes" when this doesn't look like an optometrist's site?).

If I came upon this cold, I would think the Web site is merely "eyes.com" and would wonder what the capital P, lambda, capital L sequence means.

Nice -- straightforward and uncomplicated. I like it with the dark background better.

I like the crisp, less-is-more approach.

Very cute! It may not be wholly intelligible on a stand-alone basis, but in application with the site name/URL under it (see SBS), it all becomes clear. I think whimsical works well for a site that promotes creativity. A little personality is a good thing.

Interesting font, but I think 'PXL' is hard to read if you don't already know what it is. However, I really like the actual application of the logo with the shadows and the URL which decodes the funky font.

I like that this could actually be used as intended. It makes what is an odd site name readable -- although the site uses an initial cap on 'eyes.' And the contest asks for a logo for 'PXLEyes.com' which might suggest adding a little '.com' to the right of the tail of the Y.

Cool idea, but Lodd's leaning-back aspect doesn't quite work with the straight-on perspective of everything else. Instead of a 2D blueprint approach, a 3D CGI approach might work better.

Idea has potential, but Lodd is leaning backwards and the image is not trite enough.

The hand through the floor is very cool, but I don't get how the other ghosts relate. I think a solid wheel chair and a rocking chair in the foreground to give the upper floor some furnishings would add drama. But the odd, skinny storey delineator is the weakest element.

Amusing. The teeth look flat and fake. The tongue should cast some sort of shadow. And her upper lip should cast a shadow on the tongue.

The face is fabulous. But it's so cartoonish when everything else is so realistic. I think consistency is needed.

Goony. Aside from the flat left eye, the mouth also seems like too much of a black hole.

I would forget about trying to change the model's nostrils and focus on the blending of the upper lip.

Well done, but my reaction is like GolemAura's: it looks so much like it could be real that I feel bad that she apparently can't afford some cosmetic dentistry.

Concept has potential. The headline text just states the obvious so it doesn't add anything.
