i wonder how's their mother looks like. is it with wing and horn?

I realize that the aliens were made from liquefied mushrooms with hue and painting features, but you could add a few words in SBS to make it easier for ppl to appreciate your work. You made some extra effort by making the eggshells transparent and I like the effect it creates.
I'm not a fan of those cracks, imo should be darker and not chamfered but overall is a good idea/good image. GL.

The edges could be more consistent, otherwise nice job!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!

Very nice scene author...lovely mood with great colors...i would recommend that add a bit more highlight on right side of the castle...mood is very close and castle should be just a bit brighter...best of luck author

Hay mate,

Really nice creation but I will suggest - work on shadow part and little bit tweak the sky, moon and girl detail.

Beautiful scene, lovely mood

very nice image, well done and good luck!!

very nice work author...best of luck

Nice job in construction! Tell me you had like 756 layers or some such thing!
Good luck to you!

Nice work!

kinda Martha Stewart heheheh.. great job

This is really cool. I love the scenery and the colors and the details. Very creative idea.

very very nice work author...perspective is well made also mood is perfect...only thing that i would like to see on this image is a bit more stars on the sky...i know its now to late, but some nice nebula would be perfect for this...any how i love your entry author and wish u best of luck...

brilliant....

I did not see this before but it looks great on my monitor now, lighting is dramatic and no longer too dark... a complex scene and difficult image to create. Good work!

Better, but still too dark just right of the light house and just right of the source image. But overall it's MUCH easier to "read" and appreciate. The domed city especially looks good.

Cool image, author, I like your buildings, the dome and use of the source on the other elements. However, the huge piece of the source looks like it was just kind of put into the image, and yes, the shadow is off. (They are so tricky and difficult to get, I know!) See the softness of the shadow from the rocks, and how it's very light - try to match that with the source's shadow - very light and blurred. Also, to 'ground' it, try erasing part of the lower side with a soft eraser, and it will look partially submerged in the sand. As far as the darkness now, it has a nice sci-fi feel.

Too dark. It's very difficult to see all the effort you put into the background.
Also your light source is inconsistent. Something is shining on top of the dome, but on the side of the light house, yet not at all on the hard to discern rocks. Yet the source metal image is lit from the opposite side on the ground, and is throwing off a shadow in the direction of its light source...consistency is as important as making your image light enough to be seen.

A lot of the blending is off but keep trying. You'll get it.

nice result author...best of luck

props are well chosen and set author...
but i feel, the night makes the objects more
desaturated and moves towards blueshish tones...

that is if you are tending towards reality....

Well i won't lie, it's not perfect, but the overall image has improved from the first time i saw it.

What, what? It looks better WITHOUT shadows?
The thing is there's an obvious shadow on the shed so..
Well at least you could try to burn under horsey or smth, but you know how to do a shadow, so place it under him.

If you could place those fern on top of the shed-layer by using masks, it would already look better. GL

Yep, better.

Shadows are wrong, and too dark...you'd be better off without them. Looks good otherwise.

very nice! I love the tones in this and the lighting. Works really well!!!

many of this contest entry more like painting/3dlookin - not photorealistic - but most of people r like/love it - ironic.., why do not make a painting/3d become a photorealistic - don t master it / can t make it / no software 4 it..? - this depends on the creativity - try 2 make a photorealistic from painting/3d playin w atmosphere/light/shadow/texture/thelike 2 make a photo look and master it...
