If you start your comment with something negative like this... while others defnitly did the same. It will defnitly not make people say thank you for pointing out my mistake.

Since you start to attack one person; (since you have not said it to the others) I would defnitly negate your comment completly.

The author used the clouds, and hes not the ony one. There are multiple entries with just using the clouds. Or just using the tree. There is no difference in using the tree the grass or in this case the clouds.
In the original image the tree was the main character. Doesn't mean it has to be the same way in the entry made by the author.

GOAL: Download the photo on the left and manipulate it in any way you want.

Goal Archived!

You just used some clouds from the source pic? Your image could have been made from any cloud source. The perspective on the building is wrong.

ooooh the clouds!!! allright author thnx much btw i thinkk the castle is a tat too big seriously you dont want to have to wash those windows.. One little thing, id crop out that lil bar at the bottom front of the image, its kinda distracting

author your linking to sources is not correct, you need to link to the page where the author and the image both are vissible. This would be the correct link . http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=1376571.

Also please upload a step by step because I have no idea how the original given source has been used.

Good work man.

I like the depth! ...and the processing... Good luck!

Very nice...gl

Fantastic shot author...well done

very cool artistic shot...best of luck author

Beautiful, I love the mood here!

Pretty cool shot, nice colors. Good luck!

Congrats!!

congratulations...

You look so worried? great shot if that was what you were trying to achieve.

well done.

congratulations...

Dude, you look SERIOUS!

Very nice work author...gl

interesting idea and cool work...gl

To bad there is no hi-res and no sbs, would have loved to see the detail. Good luck author!

Very nice use of texture!

I think it looks very good !

Cool. The bus seems like it's squished down but I like the image overall!

Great job

Great work. Like the corrections. The whole mood is great!

very cool moody work...gl author

Looks fine now!

CMYK46 is correct !!!

you created the dramatic scene very beautifully. GoodlucK!

Shadow should probably be a bit longer, considering the angle of the light source, and there's a horizontal bar shaped artifact in the sky at mid left. The tree & building are too small to be in scale with the bus, which is in the same plane with them. Author, this is a good concept, and you have plenty of time to post a revision...good luck!

Excellent shadow work, nice effect!

Interesting work....gl

Fantastic work author...well done

Beautiful !

Agrees! GL!

A. Doesn't matter who influenced you, because anyone was influenced at some point by something/someone; and it's not like someone is God or Nature itself and all the others just copy.
B. The problems with your entry:
1. No need for 2 animals: your selling point is the rhino and his head - that should stand up more, make the mushroom bigger- CROP the image, etc.
2. You already have 2 humans of different sizes and at the same distance from the eye - I believe you scaled one of them wrong.
Remove the one on top , keep only the one on the bottom, she will give you scale and interest point..
3. For realism sake the river should fall from the animals back, and be seen falling on the sand.

I think we all know which authors work this was being 'influenced' from. It doesn't really work author.. GL

Tries to encompass realism & surrealism and does neither.

and now that you've put it in color..and you've put it in hi res...i have some nit picks.
one of your people (the jeans) is missing part of her leg. and there is color from the background seeping through the image.
part of the castle is sharp, and most of it is blurry. the castle was left monotone, yet..there is a part of it colored.
half your horse is overly blurry...adn the front half is overly sharp. same with parts of the background meshing. and then the girl in the white isn't blended in well at all.
there are a few things you can work on for future manipulations, as i think you are quite ambitious but you need to pay more attention to detail for hi res viewing.

Good Luck

A decent entry.

LOve it!

very cool!

Fantastic! Great touch with the splash.

Nice work author...love the gray scale mood...best of luck

Good idea, but the vertical flip line at left of the foreground figure is too obvious, and some areas are needlessly blurry.

i really wish there were a high res of this..i'd like to see the details in the blendings of your sources. I think i'll hold my vote to see if you come up with a high res.

i find it interesting that you went monotone with it... is there a reason why??

Muse is right - Tyler Durden.

hahahahaha...cool

very cool thing and great tribute from great movie...GL
