lots of fun put into this.. good luck author

I think the butterflies and girl need to be better blended and adjusted to look as if they actually belong in this environment. Although you've used a reflection, it's not all gelling together very well. Maybe try playing around with the hue-sat levels of the girl and add some filters and highlights to her to make her look like she belongs in this pink, dreamy universe.

Sorry, I should have said waterline.

Where's the horizon line?

Very cool work author...Blend is great,also the mood is amazing...love the peaceful feel on your image...Also u handled very good reflections and that is always hard thing to achieve...best of luck

It looks so natural; if I saw this image somewhere else, I would have never guessed that the swans were added in, great job

I agree about the greys. Good work on the swan reflections!

I like this over-all. I think the swans would fit the lighting better if the grays in them were a little warmer & maybe a touch brighter-especially the one in the rear. Camera raw would be a great thing for that.

great blend

Sweet and simple, but most of all - convincing

I would've thought that some of the branches on the back tree would be in front of the fountain, but other than that i like the image Good luck.

A most original concept - great job! GL

now thats something amazing ..........great........

Very Tango! It really has a nice sense of movement!

funny!!!

very very nice image...love the approach author...best of luck

NICE! Gotta love dancing

really cool

OMG, this is adorable! Very nice job, and I agree about the background, the simple spotlight effect works. Good contrast in color to the ants, too.

And YIKES, I watched the video, too................ *cleanup in aisle 2*

Great Job!!!!

Nice job, and I think the simple background works just fine...good luck!

Cute dragonfly faced aliens

I mean they are landing to meet someone...

the aliens rnt matching in this picture. meaning they are too contrasted. plus the ufos are kinda weird looking. you can tell that you just lowered the opacity becuase you can see right through them and the trees look a bit funky (perhaps try lowering the fill not the opacity). unless that was ur intent. otherwise its interesting. haha gl

Whoa, these guys are also going to the contest next door!!!

oOo pretty! I want this as my window!

Oh how cool!

beautiful gl

very nice work!! so realistic!

Wow author i love...awesome work with the branch...Now is perfect...well done

I don't have a stained glass window. I was just really impressed with the chop. With or without the glow it looks cool. Still one of my favs!

Nice change! :0

very nice work author...GL

very very nice work author...I have one idea for u...u could create branch from the parts of the source image...i know that u have perfect skills for something like that...That will give a bit more effectiveness to the image...and u could place it in any lower corner...just an idea author...

Foreground is great, but (as CMYK46 has noted) the background doesn't connect. If the foreground is supposed to frame an opening looking out into space, then the planets and the stars behind them should look three-dimensional, not flat. Although it's not clear how any of that relates to your title.

Nice. The crescent moon is an interesting element, but a different color such as pale yellow would give it a greater impact. The crisp, uniform borders of the dove's glass pieces should follow through to all the pieces.

Looks good. I would have added more color.

After seeing step 3 I thought you were doing great! Then you added the background, which took it out of the realm of stained glass and into something else. There's nothing wrong with that in terms of the contest, but I own a stained glass studio and in the real world, this would not work. Good luck anyway, I still like your image!

Nice entry! GL!

Nice job...very well constructed!! My only nitpick is the glow around the planets...Looks out of place with the rest of the stained glass pieces..Best of Luck



Edit:Looks really good author I like the changes you have made

Nice! GL!

wow congrats!!!

Congrats

Congrats, George!

congrats cute little greenish baby.

Congrats for your third place, George!

Very well made, and very creative, the only thing that bothers me is the shadow of the egg on the rocks. To me it looks like the rocks are just a wall background instead of being rocks with the shadow cast like that, maybe if you would have burned the shadow onto the rocks it would have looked different.

But other than that I really like this! You did a really good job

Nice work author! Such cute little suckers!

Beautiful! Thanks a lot for using my castle

Super cool work author...well done

Ooooo, this green cutie looks a bit evil Can it bite?
