This is really cool! Just try removing the white edges visible in some dark areas around the trousers....! It would be so much better...! Best of luck!

Good choice of colors and tones....excellent mood and fantastic message induced! Great job!

So all you had to do was create a common light source to make them images better blend into the new scene! On the other hand the image IS indeed a bit blurry so maybe you could have sharpened it a touch or add a High Pass Filter! Hope you'll find these explanations satisfying and Best of Luck!

True, author! Still....there is a difference between "light source" and "lighting effects", meaning that there must be a "light source" in all creations, whilst "lighting effects" are, as implied, just "effects", therefore they are optional! CMKY was reffering to this: your image is a collage of other images taken in different light conditions and under these circumstances the catch is always to be able to combine those images in such a way so that the viewer can't really tell that the final image is actually made out of multiple images. And the most important factor is the "light source"!

Everything in this creation exhales originality, starting with the very well inspired title, continuing with the superb choice of tones and finishing with the excellent emphasis on symbols! A piece of surreal art and definitely a proof of awesome talent and imagination! A good lesson for all of us, the ones who aren't quite there yet....but also the ones who aspire to touch perfection...! HATS OFF!

I knew this was gonna be a tough and super interesting contest and your absolutely amazing creation proved me right....! Fanatastic imagination, awesome technique and great concept! Great choice of title and superb colors and clarity...! Your vision and attention to detail are absolutely remarkable....! All down to one word: SENSATIONAL!

Maybe not the most original use of source...but very nicely done! And some sort of a conflict in shadows...the vase is throwing a shadow behind while the flower and the ring box have a shadow in front. Also the shadow of the vase is less defined than the rest, it almost looks like just some dark spots! Best of luck!

A very romantic creation...excellent use of source and a very natural look, almost like the flowers were supposed to be there! And good relation between the flowers outside and the one in the hair...! Very nice! Simple but definitely effective! Best of luck!

There's something with the image that I can't quite put my finger on! I want to like it cause the colors look really good and promissing, but I think there should have been a more overall deffinition: maybe a better water reflection, maybe a better source of light, maybe some sort of sharpening of the flower itself to help the eye get better focus on the subject...! Good luck!

Good idea! Unfortunately, the mask looks suspended on the face and there should be some sort of a shape where the nose is! A bit more attention to details, more courage in contrasts and it could be so much better! Best of luck!

Very pretty I have to admit, but try adding some shadows and highlights, maybe use bit of the burn tool to create a more dramatic effect and a better contour of the flowers on the backround! And I also think that if you did this, then the flare would pop up better and the whole creation would get a better visible glitter, something to remind us of a dreamy soft look of a "LOVE" postcard! Best of luck!

I won't lie: I do like the image, still some small remarks: there's a bit of a difference between the softness of the hair and the sharpness of the eyes! Also, the green color of the eyes makes her face look too cartoonish, maybe darken the green just a touch or add some shadows and highlights to them! I do agree with the flowers in the background, you could find a better choice and instead try either loosing one of the two flowers in the hair that makes her look like having teddy bear ears or place more flowers of different sizes in random positions on just one of the sides...! Best of luck!

Not bad thinking...very imaginative title as well...! Small remarks though: maybe you could have gone a bit further and make the branches look like actually emerging out of the head! And also...try removing the one on the right side, it sort of distracts and lack sense! Oh...and maybe play a bit more with the pink smoke brushes, make them better defined, cause at this point they almost look like just spots of color! Best of luck!

Love these kind of images..."our imagination is the limit...."! Composition wise...very daring...! Technically speaking...not bad with some short remarks if I may: the little upside down image on the bottom left corner could have been slightly lighter and the overall background maybe not so dark. I know that you wanted the whole creation to pop up, but a different backround color might have actually helped the shadows come out clearer compared with the highlights! But then again...it's a matter of taste, cause overall IT IS a very good composition! Best of luck!

I knew before I voted that it was...you! And that's not a bad thing...! Amazing work...as usual from an artist like you! It will fully deserve the best place! A great example for us all...!

Strong entry! Very imaginative! Best of luck!

This is absolutely amazing...! Incredibly real....and excellent colors! Great imagination...! I love it, I love it! Definitely top three! Best of luck!

This is soooooo funny and so on the theme! Very realistic looking! I love it!

Congrats! A very well deserved 1st place!

Oh...my dear friend...! Thank you so so much! Art can really describe what we can't put in words sometimes...! I feel so honored and deeply touched! My tears of dissapointment and sorrow were replaced by tears of joy and gratitude for having the chance to find such a great and big heart in you! Thank you so much for carying, for sympathizing, for praying! It's a blessing to know that there are still good people out there!

This is the most realistic of all entries of this kind....! Great blending skills...! Best of luck!

Shame it didn't turn out to be better....as the idea is soooo cool! But I will have to agree with the rest....! Best of luck!

Now....I really love this image....love the details, the perfect perspective match with the source image.....would have been awesome if you concentrated a bit more on edges and broken pavement! But it surely does deserve high marks....! Best of luck!

Quite an impressive amount of work and skills.....! And a really wicked idea to get all sins....into one image...! I am impressed!

I agree with Ponti55 about the grass....but other than that....just brilliant!

Astonishing work....!

Beautiful image....! I really hope I'll get to see this in top three, otherwise I'll be very dissapointed...cause it really deserves good votes! Best of luck!

Sorry...but not too much imagination out of this...! Best of luck!

Excellent entry...! Fantastic take on the theme...! Definitely a winner!

Soooooo cute...and such great transformation! And....I can bet I know who this is...! Best of luck, my dear friend!

Beautiful as always, my friend..! The amount of details is amazing...! I love it!

Nice concept indeed! I still think it is a bit too dark....! Best of luck!

Excellent use of source...! I surely loooooooove the pink...! And great skills! Definitely a winner! You deserve it!

Sooooo cute! And I simply looooooe the tones! Great job! Best of luck!

Absolutely lovely, there is so much magic and such a great message in this creation....that it makes you just want to jump into the scene and touch everything around! Great great colors and ghosting effect as well...! Just brilliant! Best of luck!

But overall, very nice composition, perfect title, super usage of just the right elements from source image, I LOVE IT! Best of luck!

Taken into consideration the difficulty of the image in contest....I think you've done a great job. Taken into consideration that there are only a few entries in this contest....I am pretty sure you could win this one! Therefore it's just a matter of you wanting your image to get better regardless of contest's results and chances. So...my opinion is this image could rock with a slight few details improved. And I suggest: 1. Soften edges of the lamp. 2. Try to add some shadows to the birds for it looks too blue all over. 3. Be more daring with the light beam 4. Maybe a bit of high pass filter.

This is a very nice and a great composition! The theme is touching and it's also pretty well done! Try adding a shadow and a light source somewhere, probably the right side of the image would be the best, and then darken a bit the left side so that you get a better focus on the flower and robot's front side. Best of luck!

There's something extremely beautiful about this entry! Great job! I love it!

Wow....this is a great entry....! There's nothing bad really that I could say about it! Maybe bit too much blur on the right side legs in the backround, or maybe too sharp edges on the left side claw...but that's easily fixable....and that would be too picky of me! Awesome result and imagination! Great patience....and I like that in an artist! Best of luck!

Good idea indeed...but not very careful with the selections and edges....! Too bad! Best of luck!

Now that's what I call different and definitely thinking outside the box.....! Maybe a reflexion would have complemented the image....but high marks from me.....! Best of luck!

Exceptional...! Cool imagination, beautiful colors and super technique...! That's a winner to me! Best of luck!

And....of course....indisputably awesome! I know too.....! Best of luck, dear friend!

Why did you even bother with all that work of selecting and shaping the letters to match different elements on the phone...since you made them black and silver after that? I can't see the source image anymore! If it wasn't for the SBS I wouldn't know it's there! You could try and leave the natural colors of the letters and maybe chnage that blue color of the phone to match! It's just an idea! Best of luck!

Very nice....different....I like it! The green backround doesn't work for me....but, well, it's your picture! Best of luck!

This looks really really good, but please post a high resolution for your own good! Very imaginative and great colors! Best of luck!

Congratulations and "Hats off" from me! It's always an honour to compete with such great artists like you!

Well....I don't know about others...but I like the result on this one! Maybe she is a bit too bright and the lantern is slightly transparent....but you're right about the overall feeling! As I can see you've used Daz Studio and I would have a question for you since I have the programme and would love to start learning it, but I don't quite get some stuff: do you have to purchase sets, models, textures, clothes and accessories, or you can simply create them? I still can't figure that since I don't really find anything inside the menus, only one initial model! Thank you, and best of luck!

Oh...I can see right through you, author....you know that?!!!!! Take 3 parts of really daring colors, 7 parts of weird shapes, 10 parts of Picasso touch, 25 parts of Dali magical sand and 1000000000.... parts of wild imagination; mix it all very very well into the non destructive warping machine...and you get a brilliant artistic cocktail...! Did you get my point???? Lol! Super cool image!
