Fun swirly whirly effect just love the lighting
Placing the upside down "house" top point infront of fire blast then experimenting with removing with a circular erase brush might help make and add to an illusion of the fire coming out of the saucer/house. At the moment, it looks like the exhaust is kind of floating in front of the spaceship and not coming out of it from the bottom.
The people and car are spectacular, the texture effect is awesome. The clouds as well. Great Job!

Come on author! Tail wag, cute head tilt with adorable puppy whine... PLEASE..... you have three days left, that's plenty of time. sigh

I'm moving to Germany! (no I'm not, hehehe, but it would be fun to visit)

Just Gallop right in there like a "Knight in CBR'd Armor" there huh, Solaris?

Oh I'm just TEASING
I kind of like seeing other members stepping forth to defend (All in good Heart) other people's work. Makes me all gooey inside.
(Yikes, this entry got me quoting Steel Magnolias and Giggle Snorting again)
I do declare, I have the Vapors. Where's my hand fan?

Darling, I dated a drag queen, believe me that is pink.
From Steel Magnolia's:
[Referring to her daughter's many pink wedding decorations]
M'Lynn: That sanctuary looks like it's been hosed down with Pepto-Bismol.
Giggle snort.

Very pretty cover

Congrats,

Congrats!

Congrats on Second

CONGRATS!!!

Darn it author, please post the original picture (the girls in the well) into the SBS and return your fixed entry into the contest. It was well done and should be back where it belongs. Grumble grumble. (Coming from a Crusty old goat). I'll hit you with my cane if you don't.
With this black square, the voting might suffer, but the chop should be here anyway, so it won't screw up your portfolio.

Oh author, just toss the UN Processed image of the White chair into your SBS by itself. (It's obvious it's from the same photo shoot of the Rainbow Chair) Okay, it's not exactly a chair, the Beach Wicker Reclining Sun Block Rental Sitting Station thing-a-ma-jig, but you know what I mean. I wish they had those on Fort Lauderdale Beach, they are really cool Much better then the KMart crap they use here and charge 10 dollars an hour. Again, great chop and good luck.

There ya go...PEW! PEW! PEW! I was waiting for one of these

Well done and good luck. A bit prosaic but the work is excellent!

Pink doorknob? Really. PINK? I'M JUST KIDDING! great job

It took me forever to figure out what the heck that Chair thingy was LOLOL, great chop, good luck author.

SUPER DUPER, love the fattening of the tires, just like Hobbit's Feet

So much fun and so professional. Cool!!!

Love the City
Bloop burple gurgle beep DING peep DING (best submarine impression I could think of )

Solid work here very nice image

Like the fact that you change the position of the bullets down the line, good luck

Well what the Foo? Where did this entry go?

Damn Me? Oh dear, get in line...hehehe.. great improvement, the glare is gone as well as the sun stroke on the tires the back ground now matches the foreground and is very believable... congrats I'm not as crazy as most think of me LOL

You might want to use the burn Brush set on a super softness and gently brush the bright areas on a separate layer that you can later blend into the bright layer. That sometimes works. I find if I work on a separate layer and go a tad overboard with the reduced brightening, then placing it over the original and reducing it's opacity that sometimes works. You really did a great job on this creation... you can also brighten the background, but that would defeat the theme of the creation. Good luck and great job

Zzub Zzub Zzub (Sound of a hummingbird flying backwards)

This is really cool!!! Do you think the light on the tires and window is too bright for the light in the graveyard (blending issue)? Masking and assembling is awesome. Really neat idea Good luck

err umm.. all I see is a big black square... is that right?

Congrats baby girl

WOO HOO, congrats on FIRST!!!

Congrats!

Great use of source

OMG..this is a whole new chop.. totally new.. and much mucH muCH mUCH MUCH better!!! Completely different.

You'll have to put the original photo in the SBS and may I suggest that retain the full Head of the smiling girl. It would add to the image and not make her look a bit like a victim of a botched beheading. hehehe J/K ...great little Droste... and just a suggestion.. IMHO on a side note, WOW getting kids to pose in a Well. Wow.

Looks like he was absent through most of the relationship and then popped back into her life LOLOL.. wonderful use of your own photos.. AWESOME

Author I applaud you on your modification on this chop. Your talent is quite obvious. I'm a bit concerned about your sources, as I don't see any Creative commons references etc..., I will leave that up to the MODS (that's their Job and I wouldn't want it for the world hehehe)... When searching for sources it's very important to make sure what you use is Creative Commons, this makes your work TRULY yours and then it can be used in Marketing and Commercial as well as display. Learning this early will make your work much more enjoyable to you because you can say THIS IS MINE and no one can take it away from you. Nothing is worse then putting a lot of effort into an image, then having someone come up behind you and saying, YOU CAN'T USE THAT, and if you've sold any of the image you have to hand it ALL over to the original creator. Good luck, I hope to see more of your work, for you are a talent. Not an easy thing to be.

Simple sweet! good luck

Author, there is still plenty of time to collect/check your sources (7 days). It's a nice approach but with out knowing if the images are all yours it's very hard to place this within the contest. Please take the time to fix this entry and follow the guidelines. Good luck.

Merry Merry!!!

Well good then.. the mystery continues (not that it needs the fix (the base I mentioned), I just felt my eye drawn to that area, and if this was ever printed (Say a poster) that area would draw the eye...) Not a big whoop, as said before, just a suggestion )Great job all round

Wow... very honored you took my comment to heart.. great job (I just love those legs ) The little boy in the camouflage is adorable And I AM NOT A NAG... oh wait.. yes I am.. never mind. (Definite Mystery Science Theater)

Okay author, you got me... What exactly is this? I like it, I'm just not sure what it is? An impossible to pick up Tea Kettle? Or does it have something to do with Japanese Anime (considering the title). No matter really.. it's pretty nifty.. the Mystery is perplexing, but that is part of the fun as well. Oh poop, I really would like to know though, a little attention to the sharpness of the bottom edge of the 'pot" might be useful, it's a very sharp cut (Blurring or burning etc...only a suggestion)the beauty of the other side really is excellent, and I kind of want the other side to match hehehe GOOD LUCK

I want a bag of Popcorn... and kool-aid (we were poor) LOL It's very cute (I don't know how you resisted not including the wonderful wooden legs of the original photo of the TV, they are terrific, may want to consider including them just to give this a bit of a boost... (but that's just me) Simple just isn't me LOL. Very good work... I think I can even hear the speaker

I almost want the penguins to be stepping out of the image (over the red border) It's great just the way it is as well

Awesome blending and compression bringing the trio together. SOOPA SMOOTH!!!

Actually the Font would make this a great Military/Patriotic card, I know my Armed Forces Friends would love it Though author, with your painting skills, I think a hand written title with your flare would be awesome as well. Good luck and Good Job... again!

Down under what? we ask our selves hehehe.. great job

...and Booty! Happy Holidays

Using a simple line isolation filter (neon glow/chrome/comicbook filter etc...) is great for your own personal work, but in photoshop contests, a more productive use of your time and skills would be great to increase interest. Also using an Auto Refresh program to increase your views is a bit, well third world. ...or worse Alex from Target. EEEEKKKKK! A little more work in the DESIGN department and a little less work on trying to "HACK" the system is in order here.

CONGRATS!
