Nice positioning and good model choice...IMHO shadowing on her face should be bit better...u have to simulate brush moves so regular soft brush is not good for that...maybe u should use chalk brush for starters and try to create that effect in few layers...first start with darker color but with low opacity and then as u bust opacity lower the color tone...just an idea author...any how this image have potential to be one of the best in the contest...best of luck author

Hard to judge with no hi-res. Please realize a hi-res image is pretty much mandatory if you want to get a decent vote.

looks great author

Better, but now her face is a bit too pinkish in tone, giving her face a somewhat sunburned look (notice the pale tone on her hands and below her neck). You can try adjusting the Brightness and Contrast, or perhaps Image>Adjustments>Selective Color and then lightening the red tones (possibly the magenta) so that the values match.

I think it looks fine, a high resolution would be nice. Pretty subject matter, nice job on the shadow work. Edit: good Hi Res.

The facial features are too washed out. If you increase the contrast a bit, they will better match the painting.

Creepy

Very nice Author. Good to see you back at it. The best of luck too you

Fascinating work on this, great treatment of the clock image!

Fantastic! right on theme, GL!

rotating the planet to 45degrees angle may be better.

angle of the clock don't look right

idea n colors are great

Lovely atmosphere...

This is lovely - surreal. The waviness of the reflections is great. Still, (to echo DanLundberg) I think reflections would appear more distorted, shortened, to appear on the surface of the water, not sink beneath. Good luck!

nice one....

love this image author. Your colours are right on theme.

Although this IS FANTASY , I also get a slight surrealistic feel.

My fav part of your entry is the woman on the clock. The things that i personally would adjust is the planet "RING" . maybe angle it instead of having it straight up and down and soften the fill on the other one ... giving the sky a little depth.

Remember these are just my opinions for adjustments.. easy to say after all the hard work has been done.
ALL THE BEST WITH YOUR ENTRY.

Quite dramatic. The reflections seem to be more like shadows [totally different from reflections], however. And the clock face is opaque, not transparent as its 'reflection' would suggest. Not clear where the star sparkles are coming from or why they don't reflect in the water.

Well DONE!!!

Really cool image and 'duotone' effect, and right on theme!

Congratulations!

Very cool = )

This is actually good.

Very creative. Love the lighting!

Wohoo.. Me likie!

Nice..good job

great work

nice work here author, love the the whole feel of this image

goodluck mate

Very nice work author...High resolution is a must before voting...Only thing that not fits is lighting on the eagle...With light that u have from the clock there is not chance the light eagle like u did...His bottom part of the wings should be lighted not upper...any howw this is very nice image author and i wish u best of luck

I love it! In high resolution is great! Loved the detail of the dust particles dancing in the rays.

cool work author...gl

This is one of my faves, great work = )

Why not just make a full pyramid?

It looks nice, but you could add at least a description of how it's made if no SBS.

There's a masking problem - middle & upper right side of the image. GL.

author,image is very nice but the difference in the sharpness is to obvious...i am sure that final score will be better if u fix that...best of luck

very very interesting work author...love the colors and the shapes...best of luck

Great job! Love this

I agree with taintedhockey about the sharpness... But nice work!

i dont get why the corner is so sharp between the shaded and lighted areas. but on the outsides its dull. other wise love the picture. very nice..!! and good idea too

I really like this, very cool!

very nice final result...best of luck author

I like your concept and I'm sure this was quite a challenge.

Love the hair! Good work, author!

The edges look a bit over-stylized and don;t really shout "frozen" to me, maybe some reflections from the texture would help the effect. Good luck

GL!

I like the way you used colors and light... good luck

nice thing...gl

Great idea. He looks so serious and lost in thoughts

With his legs all sprawled out he looks like his head is so heavy he had to take a break ... love the combo!

Wow, very creative! Great creation, author!

This shot has so many awesome atributes to it!!!!

cool lighting effects...
