like the stubble. real baby face now .. nice work author .

good job.gl

Looks odd in preview, but great in the hi-res - I don't know how you did it, a SBS would be great here!

Try and continue some of the natural lighting on left side of his face. It suddenly stops where the mouth line is...if you blend it more it'll be great! Good job, author!

The mouth seems too big compared to the original, but nice job...

I see...you are the barber author... he...he.. good idea

Good work on the half-grown beard. It looks real and makes grandpa look younger

great idea nice result as well!

Very nice result, love the frozen effect but the sky is a bit too dark.

I like it, looks pretty cool.

How did you put snow on? Make a good Christmas card I agree some color would have been nice

nice ...I also was wondering did you use filter or plug in? For the water

Interesting image, but the sky's way too dark...

looks like a B/W and Colour hybrid try and bring some colour back into the black areas at the base of the windmill

good job on the water

great job but... how did you make the water?

great effect with the water.

Good old aussie floods.... all that is missing is the sparky working on it HEEE>. GL nice entry.

You should make sparks coming from the box. Great work, good luck!

How did you make the water?

good idea nice

love the water, and swirls

Please show us how you made the water. I guess you have used flood filter! You need to fix the shadows due the light used...

simple and effective.. good job.
