Wonderfully creative use of a difficult source. My only nit pick is the ground, which looks too flat and face on. You should skew it, so that it angles back to give this a stronger sense of realism and depth. Very nice work!

....sorry to bother you further, but just in case that was confusing at all, I was just talking about the shadow of the tree and the sticks

Very cool! Great use of the source image, and wonderful shading!! Just a thought, the blurriness of the background suggests that it is far away, and your shadow tells us that it is very close, so your losing depth. Also there would have to be a light coming from where the viewer is for the shadow to be there...so long story short I would drop the shadow all together, and maybe blur the background a bit more, you could also desaturate the background a bit to make everything else pop! But either way this is a great entry. good luck

Where Little Birds Live

riady says:

These 2 raptors must be very scared as they never seen rubber ducks in their era. It's very nice artwork composition, where the bigger raptor appears very sharp and close, whilst the smaller one is a little bit blurry to show depth of field. The eyes of the raptors are focusing on the rubber ducks to direct the viewer that the rubber ducks are the main actors in this stage. The colour harmony of yellow and green emphasize the funny scene of rubber ducks that are "lost" in the dinosaur era. Thumbs up

It looks like the little velociraptor is running away from the duckies. I would have been better if he was behind them (compositionally speaking). He's also a bit too dark in front. But it's a very imaginative idea!

Would have been even funnier if the big raptor was about to eat the small raptor who is intent on eating the ducks, but it's still a good image. GL author.

Author.. if you put a gaussian disk in faded black underneath the bowl and burn it's bottom edge it will help with grounding the bowl .. another disk under the isolated fruit will help as well (IMHO), Overall, FANTASTIC image! Good luck

Noooooooo!!!!
The surreal leaves are my favorite part after the beautiful shading on the peaches.
The background is a bit too intense for my taste, I'd soften it by decreasing the contrast very, very slightly, but leave the leaves be!
