OMG, I love this, author! It looks so authentic, as if it started out in color and has faded over the years - unlike your love for her. I'm a little fa-klempt. Well done!

Amazing reflection, that should have said it all! And yes I am right, someone is going through a purple fase GL author!

Tooo funny, reminds me of the blinders they put on horses.

Now, that is just mean.. How is this kid going to get this coin to the ice cream car down the street?

There is so much going on in this picture I cannot stop looking Like it very much, and is someone going through a purple fase?? I am gonna check that out later, see if I am right hehe..

lovely work... GL ........

*sigh* what an awesome photo.
i love when i look through the old photo albums and find pictures like this. completely captures the essence of the time. and what a heartfelt choice of pictures to use.
the way the photo looks, it kinda reminds me of old school polaroid pictures. i can almost feel the crinkle of the aged white backing on the print. Good Luck to you!

aww. what a nice thing to use to color ! it has alot of value sentimentally.
i think if i were you, i would have considered playing with the exposure of the original shot. the light is so bright it kinda blows out the detail of the baby, and makes the blanket/cap look odd because its such a dramatic change in color from the over exposed area to the shadowed area.

and something else, for future thought, perhaps you could look into tutorials on photo restoration,take out some of the age and wear spots on the photo, yet keep the old time feel and nostalgia. GOOD LUCK!

It's wierd PXLEYES uses the same money as folks in New Guinea (it's wierd people anywhere use money like that!)

wow, creative. I will buy this issue.

Creative! This reminds me of an old contest in the PST days. It was a great contest. Good stuff, author!

Wow, really impressive story, if you have more pics with the jelly, maybe you could suggest it as source. I don't know, it just looks amazing . If the company ever manages to produce again and make it popular, they could be the new Faberge eggs.

I keep hearing , oompah-loompah, doopidie do! I have a purple tounge just for you! you know what I meam.

Author please explain your second personal photo, that's one of the coolest things I've seen this year. What is it ?

great piece author...his head is fabulous...One day believe me,some direction in digital art will be called by your name...

OOOH RAH!

Some craquleque filter with, displacement or warp would creep this more

This is so beautiful! Love military work

I like this. Very nicely done!

Delightfully quirky! Very nice reflections.

LOLOLOLOL that was funny!!

Good use of lights and shadows, and your work keeps tempting me to invest in that Flood filter.

Cool ! I think, after all, the female found someone same. gleeee.
I think erathion suggests more blending with liquify, especially where edges meet, (correct me please if I am wrong erathion). IMO matching skin colors would be like running away from uniqueness.
Liquify is always a dangerous proposition.
I like the head and neck angle. Also, the horizon level of grass wrt heads height is perfect. Shadows not an issue as light is angled to the left. Attention to highlights appreciated. Overall, care to details is commendable. GL

Ahhhhhhh author....maybe is not the best here in Serbia but regular price of the haircut here is 10$ top...but we don't have damn IPhone....

Love the reflection and the construction is very neat...best of luck

wow author they are fantastic....IMHO maybe u could try to change original color of the giraffes to fit more with their new skin...just an idea...good luck

very very nice work author...great colorization of course but i think that the best thing in this image is the feel of the old times...Picture is colored but the old days mood is there too...well done

very nice work and great song...GL author

Fantastic work author....really really great...love the water reflection a lot...best of luck

ahhhh...this baby's look so spooky...fresco filter fits very nice with the spooky mood...GL author

lovely picture! and nice work

cool idea they look funny

Apart of all, you also have a good taste in music!

Wow! I think the tongue is a chow-chow's tongue, not yours, author!
Pretty cool! Like a Dungeon game!

Nice one author. Like the photo.

Great stuff

Gee whiz author, where did those comments go?

love the colors and the innocent way the creatures look. Agree with Erathion about the way it looks like it should be found in the pages of a childrens book.

meeeep!!!! reminds me of hitch hikers guide to the galaxy!!!! SUPER FUN. i love the blue stained tongue.
the only nitpick...i think i'd blur the two other orbs just a bit more...so they give more dimension to the piece.
otherwise.. awesome work !!!!!!

Ain't THAT the truth?! Great chop, author, love this one!
Your work always makes me smile.

(That orb's been into the blueberries again......)

this made me smile cool

i like the colouring in this image, goes well with your title.

My pleasure...just tell me author...which one is Farina? If i could guess i would tell that Farina is Red one...

very nice work author and very effective final result...GL

great construction author and fantastic title imagination...i would just a bit lower the opacity of the shadows...now they are a bit to strong and create small distraction from the Farina and her sister...

super cool...climbing guy fits perfectly with the rest of the image....gl

very nice...what a great idea with trail and coming soon part...well done author

super cool...look like some nice cover for child book or picture book...GL

Congratulations!
