Creepy a little, but great concept! Good blend, author.

Very cool work author...great mix of elements...best of luck

Creepy and cool!!

Interesting consept! GL!

Hmmm...I can't decide if I think the stem needs a shadow, or a reflection...anyway, I like this!
Edit: Yep, the shadow works for me.

kind of reminds me of the game piece for Trivial Pursuit.. very nice work

maybe even try lowing the opacity of the overlayed colours and/or soften the edges, that might help it blend more convincingly.

cool job!

so cute nice work

I think the method of blending is what's wrong with the lemon. The colour looks a bit pasted on. Other than that a really nice job.

The kiwi works for me...the others not so much.

Nice work.

Congrats on your win

Two thumbs up from me. This is great!

Cool! Good Luck!

Congrats!!

Congrats., its a really fun entry

Congrats on second!

Kinda weird.. the low res is almost better then the high res.. but the grand work is ever present.. Nice concept and great job

Very nice blending of the mushroom and orange and the face and the orange

The butterfly needs some shadowing under it. Otherwise, lovely overall composition

Very good.

funny!

Somewhat hideous and wonderful at the same time...?!?! Nice work author!

Great work, can't decide which obama entry i like the best. LOL!!

I did not saw the first edition but this one look phenomenal...well done author

Very convincing work author...and damn this is big crime IMHO to ruin this body (air bags) with head like this...

Aint that adorable Amazing entry

This is hilarious! great entry

There's hair on the left side of the hat that shouldn't be there. The hat color might be toned down a bit too, but this is still a good idea. GL author.

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!

I liked the effect on the hair ^ ^, good luck.

Congrats

Congrats!!

Congrats for the second place

Hi, congratulation...

congratulation...

congrats rick, well deserved !

Author, you really scared me, as I saw the first version! Luckily there was an explanation for it This one here is like it should be, when it comes from you.
There are just 2 things I noticed.
On the right side of the image is a white part, between the head and the right border. Looks like you forgot to erase it from the Obama image. Another part of white is also in the upper left corner.
And you might have a look at his/her left cheek. Next to the earring is a spot on the cheek, that looks brighter than the rest of the skin.
Good luck!

much better..good luck

perhaps this will explain the mystery hole

MUCHO gooder!

I knew there had to be some good explaination, just glad it wasnt a medical one ..... nice chop author

Well up to your usual high standards now, author...GL!

great fix

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.

Check your messages

This isn`t right.... this author wouldnt make such obvious mistakes.... its almost like an account hack....very suspicious!!!

there is a hole in the hair on the left..author dont go clicking negative thumbs down on comments when you are the one who fails to see your own mistake...its up to us if this entry gets 1st place or not so u better get the fixin and take these comments as critique!

Author, beneath the right ear there's background instead of hair, and there's an area of black with an abrupt line at the top. Also, look at the top of the head...

Hmmmm....wasnt this done already?
