I rather like this one I like the solitary human and animals, it gives a definate feel that something has happened. I like the pose of the girl who seems to be celebrating that life is still existing

The only thing i would say is that some of the buildings look a little washed out in the background and maybe play a little with your lighting on the buildings ..... but other than that its good work author.

the contrast and saturation between imagaes used is very powerful. The girl seems very clean and bright... and looks like she has her hand in the lava??? i think it is.

it is a good idea author, however the buildings are noticably the same throughout the image. The sizing of the girl seems a bit big compared to her situation on the road. Also the rock is very bright.

Again, i like the idea, maybe clone out the large rock in front of the two building on the left of screen and you could even play with the perspective of one of maybe the sizing of the one closest to the left side screen

Will hold vote

oh god this made me shiver lol..... anything to do with the eye makes my tummy turn lol

ummm ok lol

It doesn't really have an OOB feeling about it.... Try tilting the frame backwards a bit by playing with the perspective. At the moment the ant just looks like its in front of the frame.
Another suggestion would be to have another background so he looks like he is going from one situation to another

Goodluck anyway.

EDIT: Oh wow a completely different image

Ive always wanted to make an image like this but feel it has been done numerous times and it would stop me from standing out in a contest (when I find time to enter one).

I do like your image though

We are all learning and when we see an image we like, we tend to try and remake it ourselves, but that is how we learn

Goodluck author.

very good work author love the animated version in your sbs

Im always falling off a cliff

i like it author, the only thing not really sitting with me is the vines on the tap and in the bowl, yet there is no sign of vines on the walls or floor. Maybe add a few coming down the wall or something

Have to agree with Geexman, stranger danger came to mind when first looking at this.

If I knew the story I would probably understand.

bugger me, if thats mellow don't come visit my house....... makes me look as mellow as they come (or just to lazy to waste power and time putting it all up lol)

Have to agree though that this doesn't really feel like a manipulation entry, more a photography entry with editing.

well being a fellow aussie I have to say I love this image lol..... sitting here at 9am with the air con full blast already ........... why can't we have just one cool christmas ;p

went to vote on this earlier and it just left the screen, glad you uploaded sbs, looks good

its all about feeling? I would suggest a different title as there is nothing in the image to express feeling something. maybe make the same picture with a full length image of a man and show his hands feeling something awful that one wouldn't normally touch if able to see

goodluck.

had to high res to find it. In my opinion just lowering the opacity isnt the same as hidding the object amoungst others.... you could have blended the colours amoung other things to make it appear hidden in the background.

love I spy games, took a minute but fastest way is to eliminate colour by colour

wow this is awsome author.... very believable, well done!!!

haha very funny. Good photo choice

fantastic work author.... wish i could find the time to learn something like this
got my vote

very nice work author

love it

lol@where's her legs... its very obvious to me that they are tucked under her big ruffly dress. Doesn't look like she is floating to me author, the steps are clear enough. As for the soft glow, i think it was a nice touch. I like the blurry background as well. Very nicely put together, so goodluck

doesn't look "all red" to me as the contest states.

I think its really good author, different lol, nice to see the gulls doing something useful

Goodluck

I don't believe in people that try to dictate to the rest of the world, but I won't stick you in a jar!

I see nothing of the original source in this image. Bad photoshopping, grainy, stretched and makes no sense to me.... if you are going to be anit-abortion then make a clearer image and spend some time on it to prove you believe in your own words....

Freedom of choice, freedom of women, freedom to live or die......... my freedom is not your freedom!

You need to play with the lighting and colouring of this image a bit more author. The stone arch looks too green and saturated against the rest of the image.
Maybe bring the colours of the background out more, or add a little contrast to it even
Goodluck.

nicely put together author, love the colour. The old man ahs a 3d feel to him as well

Goodluck.

awwwwwwwwwwwwww cute

brilliant work

so much to look at

awsome

makes me think of the opening credits of the show "Ghost Whisperer" which is about the only part I still enjoy of the show lol

good work

very nice work author

great idea

absolutely classic work

perfectly blended author, well done

this image makes more sense than some of the others, but that is the whole point of surrealism to me..... not making any sense

Well done author, i think it turned out fine

this is perfect

Unreal work author

@erikuri: there lost of different farms in Australia.......... me im a city girl so it could all be rumours hehehehe

Im an aussie and hate the ocean............ why you may ask.............. cause of pictures like this

hairstyle of the future maybe

good idea, but the images aren't blending. The merry go round just looks cut and paste at the moment.
Try playing with the lighting as well a bit

This is a nice image author.......... however, this seems to be the kind of entry alot of people are making lately.

that looks great on high res author love the bubble face, gave the image that little bit extra got my vote

very nice image, refreshing to see a snail instead of a fairy lol got my vote.
Your background is beautiful as well author

congrats on 1st place, well deserved

excellent!!

well thought off author
