Very well done... perfect on theme.. very grizzly

the drip on the tooth needs some gloss to work, looks too pasted but the image is very well done.. good luck

EDIT: I use the emboss/bevel ..I take the part that needs shine and emboss it to give it a lift and that little white gloss thing.. like on the guys nose.. or you could borrow his nose and shrink and fit.. DON'T RUIN your work.. experiment first and make sure it works.. you can also merge a gradient over the drip and then add a white splotch for the glow... all different ways

or what hsbee said LOL

great interpretation of blue.. this would make an awesome street banner.. good luck

EDIT: good to see your work again author

What a nice pattern you created!!! This would be gorgeous as an accent tile design for a kitchen or a playful eating area.. simple and fun .. good luck

(JUMPING INTO THE MIX) Author.. double check the color levels and get rid of any remnant colors other then blue.. I think the black will be okay because blue is it's natural compliment but there is some questional areas by the feet and base of the rock.. everything must be blue.. don't want to see this pulled.. GOOD LUCK

very ethereal.. wowowowowow..good luck author.. shading is wonderful

EDIT: Making an L on my forehead.. should have known it was you ... wondrous

wow.. feel like I'm on a ride at Disney..definately an E TICKET

EDIT: Wow Author... your creativity has no boundaries does it? you just go super nova all the time LOL

ICE?!?!?!?!?! IN RED WINE?!?!?!?!?! are you a barbarian.. white zinfindale maybe with a soda mixer but RED?!?!?!?! ICE?!?!?! ( Pulling out my sissy fan and flapping my wrist like a mad hatter..). ICE IN RED WINE...what will the neighbors think.. how will we show ourselves in public... Great Image.. work on the perspective on the fallen glass ( cube constuction is very clever though they still look just a tad dirty.. might want to push them to the white spectrum.. love the source use to make the table surface.. good luck

EDIT: Zatrix.. hehehe.. and Author, I think you decided best. much more focused piece now.. good luck

super image.. I'd love to see the same idea done with a nude.. it would make it more timeless, right now the expression and pose make it very XMEN/FANTASTIC FOUR which is AWESOME.. good luck.. and high high marks

wonderful effect..just a little suggestion.. take it or leave it.. maybe keep SOME of the face real.. like you did with the hair so we can see the transition form normal to ripple to melt.. it would add to the wonderful effect you got going (Oh the shadowed melt chunk off the left shoulder is amazing!!).. just an idea... good luck

EDIT: tell the model that tongue piercings are so 2002
giggle snort

I really love the picture though in reallity open ocean never breaks in such a neat parrallel to the horizon, that ship would be in a billion bits on the shore... though it only effects us peeps that live near/on the ocean..(My two cents because of the dedication to realism in the image) GREAT WORK

Over all image is fantastic but MAJOR ISSUES with the letter P in paradise.. it took me WAY to long to figure out it was a P... also the wrap of text around the cup should make the text more readible... (Only thinking if this was a business proposal, because it looks like an AD mock up).. good luck and High marks.. it's a very yummy image

Exceptional Work, I love the face reflection, subtle enough not to be obtrusive, excellent

centering might be helpful, its very heavy on the right side because of the black rectangle... IMO.. good luck, nice image

accurate and great blended use of text.. very hard to do.... good luck

wow.. if you look at this in just the right way, it brings on tears.... it has a very melancholy about it, it would kill someone with abandonment/isolation issues.. good work author.. and good luck

EDIT: WOW, would have never guessed it was you.. WOW

Hand Drawn.... HIGH FIVE........

SA WHEAT!!!!!!

Just wonderful play on theme.. only problem I can't look at it too long because it makes my Eyes water.. hehehe.. seriously, if you toned down the red/pinks I could look at it easier but then that would ruin your work.. congrats on making a piece that can cause a physical reaction in the viewer without being shocking.. GOOD LUCK

RIGHT ON TARGET

Well I know in the Photo Shop world text is frowned upon, your choice of poem is just beautiful and solid, (Poetry is always a risk if the subject is too cute or cheesy or secular) and where I get my posters printed this type of work is VERY POPULAR.with the public, KUDOs on a very beautiful image and the use of Papyrus Font which is my absolute favorite font for poetry/cards/titles etc.... GOOD LUCK!!!

Don't really see any shadow problems that are obvious..of course could nit pic if there was a Hi Res pic.. but I kinda like it just the way it is.. good luck author

serious fille.. that is so cool

well done the High Res is awesome

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.. I was right.. it was all me.. JUST KIDDING.. I was hoping.. YIPPPPEEEEEE

Well done

as it should be.. what can I say other than... what's a bigger hit then a Home Run.. perfect photoshop usage.. awesome

Golem Stands up to give an ovation... Author knocks it out of the park.. good job

Well you started it..now it will proceed in any direction you want.. this is finished,.. I'll vote when I see what you come up with..hehehe. exciting

Very good... It does swinig back and forth from illusion to blue zebra,pedulum motion is complete, you have a nice motion piece here.. good luck

fun.. good luck..a little more contrast would make the detail pop.. but only if you want too..this is great too.. good luck

kudo's on a very neat effect.. good luck

cinderellie cinderellie..dern it.. I'm too big to sing like a mouse... GOOD LUCK.. very cute interpretation

Lived in Wisconsin with 40 degree below weather... I hear ya

SBS is excellent thanks for refreshing the blue.. I was getting a bit sick of it and this woke me up LOL

alot of fun.. looks like an exploding water fountain..fun

good job on the feeling in this piece.. wonderful .. and Fille .. simmer down LOL (he cracks me up)

hehehe Blending is superior and I think you've over stimulated FILLE... hehehe.. excellent work and right on target.. good luck

Author.. I think a lot of things...like why is he locked up, does he have a girlfriend, do things go bump in the night.. the best part is that you created something that makes peeps think.. instead of asking for suggestions.. which implies FIXING, you should have Said, would love a REVIEW ETC.. hehehe.. that being said.. this picture give me a feeling of foreboding and isolation.. but just enough light to give hope...HOW'S THAT ?.. hehehe.. good luck Author..and that's the only ego bisquit you're getting from me LOL

wild texture and great work

WONDERFUL source choice and brush work..good luck

Yikes.. at first FUNNY.. then Reality sets in and it's DARN.. LOL.. good luck author..very clever

whoa.. deja vu.. got bit by the pesky source monster..... GREAT RECOVERY

LOL.. great job.

Extreme Sweet Factor on this one.. the imagery is precious.. good luck

clever approach.. good luck on this...

very nifty.. good luck

right on target... good luck

great use of the texture from the source.. good luck

EDIT: good to see you author

the density of the figure and the facial longing is very wonderful.. good luck author.. very heavy piece with a bright finish

very nice.. maybe change the back ground to a color that contrast with the subject so it pops more..but green is a good solid.. I think my eyes are over whelmed with all the Blue we've been seeing lately.. hehehe.. it's a great piece in any light.. good luck

really need to rethink the title... sad is such an understatement.. doesn't do the piece justice.. it's like calling the Mona Lisa "This Chick I Met who grinned at Me" hehehe.. really is wonderful and the attention to detail is quite inspiring..the work is very dedicated.. good luck
