Too heavy of filter usage on the mouth, it doesn't blend with the rest of the image. It looks flat and pasted on.

The kids sliding down is a great idea!

The white on the parachute is a bit too high contrast, and pulls they eye from the action on the boot, but this has a great mood to it. Very creative!

Really nice shading and depth. I like the subtle "plastic" light reflections on the eye. Good work!

Really imaginative and cute!
The bats are a bit too dark and distracting, it makes a nice "evening" scene without them.
Well done!

This looks very rushed and sloppy.
Angelina's face is too far down on the head and way too high contrast.
Brad's face is HUGE on the baby's head, and is terribly distorted, with too much shine on his cheeks an forehead.
The monochrome just looks boring, and really accents the lack of matching texture where you've pasted the faces on...

Needs a lot more work.

The white spots are somewhat crooked on the nose...I think it would help with consistency if they were under (and above) both eyes, rather than just the tiger half.

The green is too monochrome, making this look really flat. If you look at any forest or jungle, there are many shades of green, not just one...

Hibernation

MossyB says:

The paint pieces are very sharp edged, there are no rounded drops or spatters at all. Perhaps you could round some of the bits, making it look more like a Pollock coming off the wall. This kind of looks like an explosion of shrapnel instead of drips.

Jackson Pollock

MossyB says:

The flaming building in the center of the image below the wasp has a very noticeable red line at the bottom, and does not blend well with the building that is supposedly on fire.

I agree with the other comments about the image being too "smoky" and "washed out." It looks like you are trying to hide mistakes, rather than impart a mood to the image.

MossyB says:

"do you want me to chop it down ????"

That would certainly give it a new twist on an old concept!

The hamster is too brightly illuminated for the rest of the image, and that one star brush on the RH side is a bit fake looking, but overall, you've made a nice image.

The rainbow colors look a bit too rough and blocky compared to the rest of the image. Perhaps a wee bit of surface blur to smooth them...

Brad's face is too small, while Angelina's face is too big, and both of their faces are too shiny.

MossyB says:

Better, but now her face is a bit too pinkish in tone, giving her face a somewhat sunburned look (notice the pale tone on her hands and below her neck). You can try adjusting the Brightness and Contrast, or perhaps Image>Adjustments>Selective Color and then lightening the red tones (possibly the magenta) so that the values match.

Mila Kunis

MossyB says:

Better, but changing the shoe to blue still has the car too dominant, because now your focal point of the shoe blends too much with all the blue of the background...
The steps look much better, though, and the balloons are improved.

avatar MossyB
MossyB says:

Very nice mood, but there are too many duplicated balloons. They all look the same, and distract too much from the rest of the image. I'd eliminate the largest and the smallest, and place the medium sized one below where the largest one now is. That will help direct the viewer's focus around the focal point of the shoe and the girl.

I'd also tone down the red car, as it competes too much with the red shoe, directing the eye off to the side.

The edge of the steps where they meet the door on the shoe is too hard edged, looking very cut and paste, a bit of blur will help there.

The facial features are too washed out. If you increase the contrast a bit, they will better match the painting.

Unless you turn it into a tattoo, it'll wear off soon enough, so you might as well go ahead and wash it. You've captured it for posterity with the photo!

Flipping Britney's face makes it not align properly. The eyebrows would match up better with the original image, which would make her forehead not look so wonky...

Pietro Perugino.

MossyB says:

The shading of Shatner's face is just a wee bit too light, both the features and the shadows on the side of the nose. Perhaps just a bit Burn Tool, or Brightness and contrast adjust to the center of the face would make it blend better.

He actually resembles the woman, somewhat. Good choice of painting!

William Shatner

MossyB says:

The head is a bit "greenish" in tone, compared with the rest of the image. Perhaps a warming filter at a low opacity would help it blend better.

The whites of the eyes of the center figure are a bit too bright, and both he and Gandalf are lit from the opposite side of the rest of the image, which contributes to the "digital" look.

MossyB says:

The wine in the glass does not look like a clear liquid, so much as paint inside the glass, because of the bluish/gray lighting on the bottom, while the inside of the glass shows a darker red with no gray tones. Likewise, the light grayish coloring above the wine and even lighter along the top far edge of the glass looks out of place for something transparent.

Madonna della Segniola

MossyB says:

The diagonal line along the wimple and down Angelina's cheek is too straight and distractive. The Angelina source you used was too severely photoshopped to remove all curvature of her cheekbone on that side. Perhaps you can find a bit more natural source, or reposition the face so that the line is not continuous along that diagonal.

Angelina Jolie
avatar MossyB
MossyB says:

There is a very noticeable dark demarcation at the hairline which throws the depth off, making the face look pasted on, rather than part of the portrait. Also, the highlighting of the eye area looks almost like a mask, while the deep shadow beneath the nose does not correspond with the rest of the image, adding to the "pasted on" look.

Good choice. The black values on Gaga's face are too dark for the rest of the image though. If you lighten them slightly (Image>Adjustments>Selective Color>Blacks) to better match the darks of the painting, it will be more consistent.
