The light reflection in the eyes is a bit distracting, and is inconsistent with the back lighting of the background.

Yum! Not the prettiest, but certainly one of the tastiest!
The blurry strawberry is a distraction, but the grated chocolate is in nice focus.

What is it? It's a bit too close up, the syrup swirls at the bottom are a bit hard to make out clearly.

They don't look like they have backs. The green and pink ones look flat, while the blue one looks to be only 2 sided...
Since the "black" triangles are holes, they should be showing the other sides of the pyramids.

Add the shading on the opposite side of the light source as it is reflected in the eyes (pretend you are shining a flashlight on the eyes - the shading will go on the other side of where the flashlight lands on your subject.

You can also add some gradual shading to the legs to make them look more rounded. This might help some: http://artswork.asu.edu/arts/students/line/line4.htm

This would have been even better if the pen had been turned a bit more sideways to show the writing tip in profile, or even from the top. The black underside is a bit bland.

There's a bit too much of the dark tree on the left, it is dominating the picture, but the lighting on the building is very rich and enjoyable!

When separated from all the other colors in a landscape, this color of water looks more like sewage than water...Funny how the eye absorbs all the colors combined. Beautiful clarity of the falls!

MossyB says:

This is a very interesting render. The concept has a few questionable directions, mainly regarding heat and humidity. Even with some panels opening, it would seem the heat and humidity build up would be comparable to a gigantic greenhouse - especially sitting on all that water. Also, if there is no breeze, the heat build up would be even worse. Spraying non-potable water (also used for toilets and showers) into the air as mist would create potential health hazards, and would increase the humidity problems on hot days...

It is still a very interesting idea, and a good 3d render!

It's a little to monochromatic, and the square window at the bottom is placed strangely on the building, although the values are excellent, with the fine details in the shadows still visible.

I agree with Vexycon, the rope looks like a flat cardboard cutout stuck on, with that dark edge on the bottom, and no curvature shading and highlights.

Excellent photo and angle of the shot. I thought it a Photoshop manipulation, and thought, "What the ???" and then saw it was for the Photography contest...Very well done!

This has improved wonderfully from your first upload. Before it was very cut and paste and odd. Now it is almost a "painterly" illustration. Really good job!

Watch out for rocks
avatar MossyB
MossyB says:

The water in the middle has no color at all, green, blue, or otherwise. Since you choose the photo you take, you need to keep the background in consideration, since this looks half-baked at best, with a bit of blue at the top, nothing in the middle, and a lot of blue at the bottom. If the way it looked on the ground is what "talked " to you, then crop off the distracting and desaturated top and focus on the water on the ground.

Leaning house

MossyB says:

The composition of this is very boring. The building is "target center," with all the tents on the sides distracting from the building because there is more going on with all the stuff for the eye to look at. A "Rule of Thirds" positioning, cropping off a majority of the right side of bushes and tents would help this immensely.

The top fin is too sharp for the rest of the image - it looks "cut and paste," and the bottom is a bit too dark, going to almost pure black, but this is a creative idea, and the fish looks pretty real!

I thought you might have been deliberately inconsistent, so as to reflect all levels of talent here on the site, since inconsistent lighting and shadows are some of the biggest and most common mistakes people make, but thought I'd mention it just in case you were striving for a higher quality entry. Glad to know my initial feeling was the right one.
