The reflection made the image for me. But the gold color needs work, it's too orangey. I'd also make the diamond a teeny bit blue.

VERY cute image!

Too dark! Can't see what's really going on.

The edges of the hat are too sharp compared to the rest of the image. If you feather them by about .5 px. it should blend better. Nice chop!

Very cute! Nice chop.

"The truth must be RELIEVED?"
I can see Lindsay or her "father" being relieved, but the truth??? That's a weird quote even for a tabloid...

Very imaginative, good chop!

I never thought I'd say it about an entry here, but too light...
The Fuseli image has the objects within "the dark of night." These are all placed within a quite bright and smudgy looking background...

I agree wholeheartledly with Woz, the "flow" of the composition is off. You image starts at the upper LH side with the horses, and runs diagonally down to the darkened RH corner, where the eye essentially "falls off."
The original has a more triangular flow, with the figure grounding the eye's movement, and the gargoyle bringing it back up towards the horse's head.

An interesting homage, tho.

Beautiful. Nice work.

The horns in front are angled the wrong way...Otherwise this is a really well done piece!

The dark part is accurate...It's hard to see the shape of the angel or the wing(s?), it's so dark. Just a few star clumps, and some bits and pieces of light objects scattered across. It looks like the "wing" on the RH side is exploding away from the arm, and that the angel has only one, incomplete leg...

Too dark.

Desaturating it really shows the mismatch in skin tones!

MUCHO gooder!

On the LH side, you can see the braids that abruptly stop at the "hole," and then continue down by the neck...

You also have some very obvious on top of the head and on the LH side about 2/3 down, joining to the braids...It's poorly painted, and the color doesn't match the hair, the background, or anything else...

The strange fuzzy black spot near the top of the head, and the black fuzzy edges along the LH side of the "holey" braids just add to the overall confusion of this piece.

You should seriously consider working some more on this entry, it needs some help.

Maybe it's supposed to be surreal...

Surreal is one thing. Poor technical execution is another. This is a competition, and your concept is a good one, but the obvious light direction will hurt you more than help you, regardless your excuses to try to justify it.

Two suns would CLEARLY show two light directions on the subjects, NOT opposing light reflections on one object (the island AND the pot). Likewise, the sky would show two light sources...

As CMYK stated, it's easy enough to reverse the island to make it read better. To try to justify such a poor choice as "it's surreal" will probably cost you more points than you would have gained had you corrected it.

It's now too dark on the LH side, your focal point is being lost. The eye is drawn over to the white mist at the back of the RH side, which is now over dominant.

The light contrast on the face is a bit too high, but otherwise, this is a disturbingly great image!

The head is too high contrast compared to the body. The face looks very blotchy.

Mucho gooder!

The head on the left is terribly distorted, too flat on top, and the features look squashed.

The face is a different skin color than the neck. The neck has more red tones in it and is lighter.

The lighting on the bottom of the chin and under the cigar throws the effect off. Perhaps you can darken it with "selective color" making a selection and then darkening/tinting the whites.

EDIT: Nice correction. Looks much better!
That cigar in her mouth just kills me!

Great hat, great background!

I FULLY understand "non-representational," DrivenSlush. That has nothing to do with my comments to the AUTHOR, but thank you for presuming to educate me.

Excellent blast from the past! I used to have a screensaver of the Flying Toasters, and enjoyed it so much!
Well done!

The dark diagonal stripes top and bottom are distracting and too dark, IMO, and the hummingbird is so desaturated it loses a lot of visual "punch."

The neck and shoulder area are really wonky. She doesn't really appear to have any shoulders, just really huge trapezius muscles...

The figure in the doorway is too blurry. The foreground is focused, the doorway is focused, as are the objects behind it. That figure shouldn't look so fuzzy around the edges. It should also have the slightest bit of backlighting around the edges from light refractions off its back.

Creative for a CBR, but the lighting and shadows are totally inconsistent, with the black background only adding to the visual confusion.

It's imaginative and creative, but not cohesive as a visual image - I'm sorry, but it's like a "Photoshop doodle."

Nice ivory effect on the fingers.
But the shadow at the bottom front of the box is funky - no light source would make it extend outward from both sides...It also does not correspond in any way to the lighting on the fingers or the lighting on the inside lid of the box...

Beautiful capture, but too much "dead space" on the RH side and the bottom. A judicious crop would improve this already nice shot considerably.

The linework and consistency is a bit too crude (legs and arms different proportions, wings different sizes/lengths), but a great concept!

Love it! Wonderfully done!

The vanishing point at the end of the "gap" is off, making it look more like an m.c. escher triangle. Good concept, but you need to skew the mirror image a bit more.

Very nice entry. Good work.

The image looks like the glass was broken from the inside - there are no glass shards on the windowsill with the shells... Well done, but a bit confusing.

This does not point out anything about the Twitter posts, other than to repeat one of the insensitive, offensive, and poorly timed "jokes" that caused him to be fired.

There must be some other way you could convey the "funny" attitude regarding tweets besides visually validating this "joke."

Really nice texturing and pattern!

Lens flares don't connote "shiny" to me. Light reflections mean shiny... Maybe if the letters had a bit more color for the lens flares to look more like they are "reflecting" a light source it would be more effective.

Also, if you are not using any exterior images, you have to publish an SBS of some sort showing how you created this image. You had to check the box agreeing to do so before you published this...

This is really well done! Nice mood, good composition, good use of the contest source.

It's a bit too opaque, and looks more like it's just painted on, rather than tattooed into the skin...Perhaps changing the Blending Mode and/or the opacity a bit would make it look more part of the skin.

I really like this, but the lighting on the boy on the bench has no light source shining directly down on him...You should add a street light to make it more cohesive to the image.

The image is a bit too high contrast, making it confusing to see exactly what you have here. Is she pregnant or oddly pear shaped? Between the spines and the black shapes, it's almost impossible to discern whether that is some sort of one sided green scarf draped around her, or a solid object that she can store stuff into...

Pesonally, I would suggest just cropping off the bottom entirely, since it doesn't really add to your composition. The focus should be on her face, anyway...

Interesting concept, but the execution needs some adjustment to better communicate your subject.

Very well done!

The snake is a bit hard to read, visually. Perhaps adding a forked tongue?

The wooden post with the Pxleyes logo, and the text title at the bottom are distracting to the image, I would suggest removing them.

You might want to also increase the lighting on the ostrich just a wee bit, it is too dark presently.

Very imaginative concept!

This is very lovely!
The only real visual discrepancy is that the woman is blurry when compared to the butterfly wing and the leaves around her, and the edges of your elements are too sharp.
I would suggest you use a small Blur Tool brush, with the "sample all layers" box checked, at about 20-30%, and go around your edges to soften them, and that you apply the Blur More Filter to the Wing and the leaves to make them less dominant in the image.

Really nice concept!

Very imaginative, but the shadows are facing the opposite side of the rest of the image. Perhaps you should reverse the sailor's face...

Good blend on the lizard, looks very natural.

Well done, great images used.

Great entry!
