Beautiful image...a great surrealistic effect. Would be cleaner if there was perhaps a little more grass emerging from the front of the tree rather than just out to the sides. Otherwise this is probably my favourite entry here, so far. Nice work an good luck!

very nice,....something mystical on ti,......

Nice work author. Agree with langstrum. I also suggest to replace cloud/sky with some other stock. It looks white in the center. Also slightly reduce vintage. Good luck

EDIT: Great change . Now cloud and whole composition is much better.

Very good. The only thing I would change if I were you is the composition, I prefer the tree in the lower position, leaving some air on top of the tree. This image reminds me Ponti55

Great work author,as guys before sad i love colors very much,but best in this creation is that overall mystic look...well done

very nice scene!

Very creative, different approach. Nice job, author.

nice colours......

nice originality. GL!

I am not the type of TALK MORE DO LESS man,...so I just say this is nice, just like nasir said....and I agree with erikuri too

Nice composition and great color

i am a fan of this work!

Nice compo, I like the colors... I still can't get this result on my works, the mood is incredible!

good luck author !

how com you see so many pictures on your sceenshot. I only get 32 pictures on one page in flickr

Beautifull mood and image, GL

I would do bit more work with the foreground tower blending, it looks like it's sunk to the ground and also the perspective with the tree is a bit weird. It looks like the base is in behind the tree or at the same depth, but the upper part is in front.

Overall it IS a bit surrealistic, so I'm ok with the title. Good colours and mood, worth tweaking a bit more.

Nice moody feel and pleasant enough, but I don't know what I should be focusing on. Also, the landscape seems pretty realistic to me (aside from the miniature foreground tower [or giant background pagoda]), so I don't get the reference to 'surrealism' in your title.

very good work,good luck

And congrats again for another great third place!

Congrats for your third place, Tucker! This was for sure the best of all three versions!

Congrats on your 3rd place, dude!!!

Very cool work author,great surreal composition...just and idea,how about adding some bird,flying up from don't used fingers...best of luck

Congrats!

Congrats! for 3rd place

Love the idea!! My only suggestion is that the shadows and the lighting aren't matching...Like the shadow on the gazelle's legs are really strong but the hand is bright like the sun was facing it...If this was your intention it's right on and best of luck

Nice surrealism!

what a great idea.. GOOD LUCK!!!

congrats for the 3nd

Congrats for 3rd

Congrats for 3rd

Congrats again good week for you!!

Congrats superb work!

good idea, and nice work, author, love it! on theme to me, too.

Very nice work author

nice job

Nicely done!

nice work here!

I agree with Warlock in all respects!

Hair line is much improved, a far more convicting natural result....top job! and good luck

I think the eyes are a little small, but the whole image is very well done. GL, author!

Very nicely done, strong colors. I agree with Warlock about the hairline and the nose. Try using the smudge tool at a fairly low setting and a small brush and pull away from the hair edge into the skin to simulate the hairs at the hairline edge. The nose is just a bit of a tweak to fix. (Did I just tell you to tweak your nose?) None the less a good entry!

Very impressive dude! Looks a little mean and moody, nice use of D.O.F. my only suggestions would be the hair line, need to get a small fine brush in there and add the hair in stead if it just fading away, and the columella is a little to pinched.

Nice construction author...good luck

fantastic work, author! love it! good luck!

"Or will the attack come from machines we would never even have suspected?" "Be creative and good luck!" Fits the bill to me.

Very appealing image, but I don't see the 'revenge' part (critical to the 'nightmarish' requirement of the contest). [Maybe noxious CO2 emissions out the tail pipes? ]

Imagine all those cars flying over our heads!...
Pretty cool, GL!

very is damn Harry Potter...,,,great work author

awsome
