Wonderful job you did with this, I really like the way you constructed the flowers. They really look like straw flowers.

really nice

great!

Amazing image!

great work

Stunningly well done

Not normally a fan of the 'let's chop any object into a flower' teqhnique, but here you have used the sourse pic really well, I can tell that you have used the coconut fibres, and it suits the finished product really well. Nice chop!

Nice job! One of the best I've seen. GL!

Horses look very small to me, and i feel like the shadows should also be softer, but it's a great blend, especially the stream. Good luck!

very nice entry good luck

I would remove the horse in lower left corner. The lighting is wrong, the perspective is wrong and it does nothing for an otherwise great composition.

Maybe change the horse on the left completely because its also out of perspective.

The white horse on the left shoultnt really have a shine from it, its in the shade.

very nice done

REALLY nice blend! some of the lighting is a little off on the horses, but very pretty, and you have a great eye for composition.

Nice job...shadow of black horse needs adjusting.

Beautiful piece of nature

Beautiful blue flowers!

The grape looks great!

beautiful job!

very nice

very nice

The source image is barely noticable. Just my own opinion, understand but I have always felt a good source image entry is one that does not require chopping the source beond recognition. I know not everyone shares my opinion, so good luck to you author.

You know you probably could have made this out of anything, right? It's an excellent chop and well designed but better fits a theme contest, rather than a source image contest. Just my own opinion.

great

Wow, it is amazing what wonderfull things you people do with only the source images. Beautifull, GL

just great!

I love how you made the branches look shiny

very nice. Great idea. Good luck

Sweet pattern, very well done.

Lovely!

creative idea,nice!

Excellent job!

Really beautiful The flowers remind me of passion fruit flowers

Unique and birds are a nice touch. The background is a good fit.

The edges of the fountain are way too sharp. Blur them or something. Nice job overall though. The birds are integrated very well.

love the bird mess

My mom really like this That are her figures and I wanted to show your entry to her and she said: "Wow, I have these figures too!" Took her a while to realize, that that ARE her figures I'm glad, that they were useful for you and helped you to create such a cute Christmas card Merry Christmas to you too! And of course good luck

Still not level to my eye, but better...

Good work! And it would be beautiful if it wasn't for the source image itself (just kidding)...

Adjust perspective of pool so water is level. Pretty funny otherwise.

these are so cute. and a merry Christmas to you too author.

Great mood.

Beautiful!

nice choices of stock images. seagulls/Albatros are an interesting touch.

lovely image, will hold votes for changes.

Nice liquify work. Here is picture of shadow reference, which will work best for your entry. .

I hold my vote till see how much you improve.

I'll post two positives since someone else posted two negatives........ I'm sure you put a lot of effort and a few hours into it. Good job on the pattern of the liquified flowers, and the branches. Cmyk is right though - fix the shadows and I'd also say work with some adjustment layers.

Shadows are inconsistent with light source, column on right has no shadow at all...

Good blend of different sources.. good luck!!
