would have been better without the berry in the top left, Hindsight is such a great thing.

I like it when there is a story behind an image. Already some nice work here, but there is room for improvement.
To increase the contrast between foreground and background you could shift the hue of the foreground more to yellow or orange. Also, it would be nice if the tree was much bigger, extending more to the right. If you only show a small part of the leaves, it will give the impression that the whole tree is huge.

this is a great peace of art and i can tell you put some efort into it.

i'm just trying to find where did you use the original carrot file that was provided for this contest. of course it may be just me who isnt finding it.

good job anyways

Suggest creating more contrast between foreground & background. Would also be good to light the floating things the same as the castle.

it could use a bit of a whole dodge wash or some sort of brightening filter to bring up the detail (this could be my eyes but the image looks dark and a bit mushy) it's a great image overall and as always IMHO.. good hard work

Interesting image but to small usage of the source image...

Congrats!!

Congrats!!

I love the image but as much where it comes to use of source image i cant really give a high score

The use of the carrot leaves in the background is almost negligible, since you can't make out what they are. This is a lovely image, but the use of the contest source photo is very, very hard to discern within it. Submitting it to the stylus contest would be more logical, since you can somewhat make out that contest source image...Still, an excellent effort, combining many disparate images into a cohesive picture.

its a nice composition, but i cant really tell where you used the original source provided for the contest.

I still don't see where u used provided contest source image author...If u are new on PXL please read rules and guidelines...http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/

You need to post links to all sources used, or post your own uncut photos in the SBS.
And BTW, I have no idea how the carrot source or stylus were used in your image, despite the SBS.

Nice Job Congrats

The head is distorted in proportion. Her forehead looks huge, and her hairline too far back on the side.

Great work, only point I'd make is, I would have (if had had been able to create the rest of the image) soften the skin, especially on the legs as they look far to real in this lovely fantasy image.

cute

he looks ready to bite

too cute!

My fav!..

love the mirror effect good luck author

Great chop author
The snow beneath the fountains is unconvincing. The one to the right isn't completely joined. Nice blending otherwise. Good luck.

The things seem out of perspective, they're placed as if the model had her back to us when she gives one side. Otherwise very good abstract concept.

Very nice choice of images and great work on getting them into this -- one small thing is that the edges of the "Seat" need some touch up they are a bit ragged and still show some trace of the original background -- maybe some blur or soft brush on the mask would smooth it out.

this entry needs more votes

Congratulations on 2nd place, so different from anything else I have seen from you.

great setup and photo.

One of the better ones for the theme... just wish it were a touch brighter

now this is on theme, excellent shot, good luck

This is an awesome picture. The fresh red paint and drops bring the whole thing to life. Great choice of colors as well.

Just a closer crop would improve it.

I would have loved it if you caught the paint dripping from the leaf in a close up with more lightning on the rose. Could have made a great composition. The hand & brush are disturbing to me TBH....

Maybe you can re-shoot it?

Great perspective for this photo, it really enhances the image by bringing it down to "ground level." Nice paint job!

hahahha loved it...!

He sat still so he could sue you later.

THAT... is pretty funny!

If it wasn't for the reflections in the glass it would be worldclass, now it's awesome

Nice shot but I think you playes a little bit too much with the levels. Dark parts are really ... black and a lot of details are lost.

amazing

Very nice colors

Yep, beautiful.

Wow.... where is this?

Can't appreciate the focal point through all the smoke. Artistic, but hides the beauty of the nose shape...

Magic mushroom? I agree with friiskiwi then. Great find!

Wow...I almost posted a very similar picture! LOL. I find the mushrooms in my area so fascinating and in such a variety of colors and textures. Awesome job.

It doesn't look real. It's so unusual and pretty, I thought it was glazed ceramic...What a wonderful find! Great photo, with a wonderful balance of values and colors. Really nice!!!

wow.. purple mushroom ! never saw one..must be poisonous.

What a great find.

beautiful

LOL! Nice one author!
