Very Nice Congrats

I'm glad you didn't take offense, I certainly didn't think you had stolen the photo. I just didn't like the treatment, which doesn't mean that it was wrong.

I'm sorry, don't know what kind of post processing you did, but to me this look like a bad scan of magazine cutting. I'm not suggesting that you have done that, but that is the effect you have achieved, IMO>

The haze in the lower right hand corner distracts from the beauty of the food and the setting. Was that the camera, or post-processing?

i like the colors, seems like old styled shot
good luck

@author, I think what @newrays meant was that, smooth gradients & shadows are kinda not in the spirit of rangoli (read: implementable). Steep gradients & shadows however work.
Besides that, nice design, not practical, but nice design & equally good implementation. Good luck

Nice work ,but would have been better to make it larger to get a better look at it. gl

Rangoli is a traditional decorative folk art of India which made on floors and the base material is usually dry or wet granulated rice or flour to which sindoor,haldi and other natural colors can be added,even people use colored sand and flowers/petals too.So it is not possible to imply a 3D effect in rangoli as it has been shown in this image.Although it is a good piece of art but far from reality.

Oh how beautiful! This is like a cross between Peter Max and (Monty Python artist) Terry Gilliam.

Really lovely, great depth and color!

Congrats

Beautiful

Really love this style, author!

Cool! GL!

Great work, awesome skills.

beautiful!

very very cool work author...gl

Some times, CBR entries are better than using the source image and just copying and pasting stuff around to make it look nice. Creativity counts, even distorted images from source images are nice to see. You did a good work, and I wish you good luck author.

Great imagination here

Great CBR author...love the concept, mood and final product...well done

BUT... if you place that chair on top of the hill, in the bakcground, and just distort it a bit to blend your style, the source will be recognizable, and this would be a cool entry,imo. Don't forget to add it a (loong) shadow.

About colours.. you could do some blue highlights here and there, but it's your choice.

Too dull with no color. Agree with CMYK. It's so chopped beyond recognition, you could have used anything to make the image. Not a good use of the source image.

I like it! It reminds me of the Nightmare before Christmas.

CBR = chopped beyond recognition ....some of my works were called CBR,... it is just ok, nothing wrong with cbr because there is sbs to show how to make it,......

and this is good work, I like the feel conveyed in this pic....

Bad source link. Also an incomprehensible SBS and way CBR.

good luck
