Awesome picture! But yes you do need to post your source (the current link is bad) and make sure your source is copyright free (cause the url for the link gave me the impression that it's from a news site which would be copyrighted). Good luck!

I love the lightbulbs! nicely done!

Clever and well excuted! However, the background really detracts from the gorgeous fairy. Please put something there, it will make your rank go up.

Nice choice, however you need to polish your masking/coloring. It's not right.

you are perfectly allowed to chop the photo. All the guidelines say is to "make a photo in black in white" which means chops are allowed.

Yes it does. A chop counts. Nicely done! the bow definitely stands out.

Very cute! The reflections are a nice touch.

nice on the touching up, but the face is too clearly cut out. Needs a neck and the area beside her right eye is too black for there being hair behind her.

I love what you did here!

Nice! very subtle.

yah, it's nice but you need to do more than color it. Also, please put up the before image as well (split image) cause it's mandatory for this contest. *points to contest description*

her eyes do look a bit stretched, but I like what you've done here!

much better! good work!

lol that's great! One thing, the word "bluish" on the yellow crayon doesn't match. You did a good job of matching text on the white crayon, though!

Nice! most of your elements are blending well. However, the grass is too sharp/bright and the same goes for the pillars of the dock. The perspective is a little off for the bench, but I don't know if you can fix it. The rest looks great though!

looks much better now! the pirates could still do with having the dodge tool applied to them to make their right side more shadowed.

nice work! but still needs some polishing. Ditto on the desaturating CMYK. I'd also add that the light sources are wrong. you have the moon in the back, but no shadows. the pirate on the right should be almost completely in the shadow of the boat as of where the moon is, for example.
