its a great photo indeed! nothing more to add it speaks for itself.

there you go I was seeing soemthign that didnt fit in the work n couldnt put my finger on it.. cmyk good catch.. great fix author image is very much improved

tried to find it on google but can't still its a great picture nice

very artistic!

lol he wouldnt need a big toolbox since there probably might not be so many parts to find to replace anythign that breaks.. best is to just have it dragged home then.. I remember when I was a kid My parents had a lot of old motorbikes and yes they raced with it too. My stepfather never had many tools with him either, just his subscription to the roadservices that bring ya home if stranded... which happened often LMAO usualy on the way home after a tour in a motorclub weekend. But you shouldnt see the garagae.. its filled with parts and tools of all times...

lol you had to toss the rose away first right ? before he brings it back... very nice shot!

love the classic colors

awesome!

what a beautiful view

wow very nice to see such cultural things

very cool label

love this picture

very good picture and original high vote

lol the text sais spaghetti, but I dont wanna argue with you cause they probably make macaroni too

Omg noooo you are very beautiful!

lmao

its pink here too XD interesting position for a cat to sleep in lol nice catch

12 years ago or not I recognised yous till.. didnt changed a bit author

looks cleaner now author good job high score for the talent presented!

what is the location? perhaps we can find something about it on the web.. it should have a story.. i hope.. I love stories!

Im with the giants version too! And what a nice view up there !!

those trees just look like a warm colorful blanket very nice picture

Thnx much perhaps the step by steps should be always able to add I think indeed it will also be a good place to put your image if people worked some more on there work after suggestions.. ah well.. thnx for the steps it helped me loads maybe someday I can draw something cool like this too .

Love the detail of the ball next to the man

I hope its not closed to upload yet but normally it should be under the tab "My stuff" ---> My contest entries ---> and there should be an edit option..

Just checked quickly and as it is now in an entry I have somewhere its not showing either the edit button anymore... So im affraid you cant edit it anymore I think its closing automatically finally . o.o; well you could upload what you have, if you want to add it still, to imageshack.us ( image hosting where you dont need an account and thus the image links are anonymous) and post it in a comment. Though that is up to you.

I love the background it matches so well with the image

I agree with trevordsouza7 would look great as a dekstop wallpaper

very nice combination of sources and programs used. great use of your own sources

Very nice effect! great idea and perfect execution Perhaps a wet skin would have added to the effect but its allready great as it is. Awaiting a step by step to see how the painting was made.

I love the butterflies.. true talent there.

dont think the drawing of the leg was such a bad attempt at all to be honest lol my own drawing skills are far worse yur chop for sure got more interesting, and you might not want to chaneg anything else here anymore which i can understand very well but for your next chop you have a lot to take with you in consideration .

the goose IS beautiful very matching title its big but beautiful! love the colors, high score

It s a nice work, although the source is barely recognisable anymore it looks beautiful. It could have a little bit more depth though to bring the bird more to the foreground and stand out. im holding off my vote just a little longer

I really like Emily Dickinson's work, I have worked on an image to fo with a poem of her myself but I dont think my work did justice to the poem so I wont upload it. Though its nice to see her work presented here

nice to see something else then the soccer outfit

I can just see this in poster format or in the postcard racks... you know those postcards with the special metalic printing? this would be so nice with that. beautiful work.

I love the DOF on this photo! really makes the stones stand out very well. very nice!

why the sarcastic tone of voice when i put time in trying to help? if i wanted to find fault i can do better then try help you with the shadowing.. have another look at your flower.. you missed cutting out parts of the sky.. I didnt needed to look at the highres for that even. http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/5346/flowercutout.jpg

the light on the flowerstem does not correspondent with the dark plants? on the ground. All the dark shading on the plants are comming from the front yet on the flower stem I am missing that dark shading

where to place the shadows? that depends where the light comes from its backlit so i guess the shadowing needs to be to the front. I have opened the original backgroundsource in high res and it can be hard to see but if you look closely you should be able to see the shading going to the right front.

hope i make sense. I think you picked a difficult source to adjust the light/shadows on by the way

edit: http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/2497/shadingsample.jpg the original source as it was

http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/5334/shadingsample2.jpg your version with the flowerstem

smudge the edge of the ball very soft n slightly to get it nicely rounded again and you get rid of the dark line around it.. perhaps a soft blur will help too on the balls edge.. its a great improvement author.

I love your entry but it needs one more adjusting, the planet in source 8 is someone elses photoshop work and you cant use it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/imaginedreality/170835601/in/photostream
also wheres the uncut photo of the girl? the on in the steps already has it cut.

I do love this image, the colors and the composition, the subject. its just fantastic great work and yes please do see this in highres its definately worth it.

great chop

missing shadows

Its a very nice attempt and effect you realized, after looking at your work i got an idea. your picture is laying on a table.. the ball is like a marble laying on top of it, just like now except its missing the background. holding off my vote in case you want to play with it

i think both have there charm and are nice should keep two versions maybe

very nice! I like magical n fairytale like entries! high score

Excellent! love the rainbow and the birds around the right balloon really finish it off Love the eye color change as well btw, Great view in high res!

Its a clean image but i find it a tat boring, good work on the speed effects though

i like this image but you need to work a little on the cutout of the guy. his ears have dark outlines and i would have smudge his hair a lil here and there to make it more realistic. not too much just a few...

the edge from the sail could use some smoothening. I think id liked it better if the figures had a more paint effect but maybe this is just the effect you want to create, so i dont want to change you on that.
