Yeah.. awesome job besides the hands. I'd lose them or change them. (He should have a huge span , if it's the same person trying to hold the ball anyways..) Also the hands are too blurry for your sharp and nice image.

Good colours and elegant generic design, very poster like. I would have definitely either removed the handle or at least made a clean cut for those finger dips.. they look so 'fake' and ugly - also in the original image, not your fault really. I would also remove the pouring tip, it looks like a mistake, for the same reason. Nice job overall.

Nice idea, but some major problems with a choppy work. The foreground ferns and the tree are pretty sharp.. you blurred the mushrooms. Also the blend between the door and the tree is not very good. The perspective of the door could have fitted better if you locate it in the middle part of the tree, I'd think. Gonna vote later if you happen to update..

I would have cropped the picture just above the gate, now it just kinds of hangs there.. unless it's meant to be that way? Wings are very hard to blend, I'd have also covered her back with some more dress/hair to make it more realistic. Nice composition overall..

Very creative idea, but I'm having some problems with the perspective of the stone monolith and the portal. It looks very twisted and almost like falling.. dunno if it's intentional. I'm ok with the portal instead of door, as this is a contest without a source. I don't quite see the point of manipulating this kind of picture with so high resolution, but well.. if your comp can handle it.. You could have shrink the high resolution version still ½ the size or something, not that much small details here really..

The perspective with the sitting cushion part vs. arms vs. "foot" isn't very accurate. On the other hand it's not 3D image, but done with basic tools.. pretty good job overall. The shadow edge is bit rude too. + for the creativity and using a lot of source.

Would have made it even better with some velvet cushion +bracelet/chain or something.. Very good job, pretty clean too for a tricky source..

Nice touch with the sun shape. I don't like the colours of the gems especially, but hey.. it's an awesome render nevertheless. Again missing a background worth the main image, but I'm gonna vote this high anyways. Awesome, indeed..

The open door could use some sort of thin frame, from the orig.source maybe?

Creative approach, but the colour of the orig. source and the helmet are quite different. Also the inner side of the helmet looks a bit strange. Clean the strikes and the green reflection from the orig. source maybe and clean that transparent tip of the 'spike' on the right side. Good work.

Yeah. Maybe too much action on the screen. Could use a more creative background, but nice groove.. err.. picture anyways

Very elegant design really. I just wish you could add some extra details/parts... maybe a double set for the queen and king both? ..

The joint of the curves, ball and the cross looks a bit weird. Could work better, if the top cross would be more elaborate and standing in a small 'stick' over the ball. Because of the shadows, it almost seems like some of the front jewels are not aligned in the center, even thou they are. Good work here, indeed a hard competition on this contest.. which is a good thing, of course

Funny idea, but a little bit too simple really. I feel if the picture isn't cartoonish, those speech bubbles ruin it every time. Better choice would be to put the text on the lower part of the image, if at all. The shadow isn't very accurate, but It would be almost a straight line like with the bird really, because of the sign orientation.. don't know if it really matters here.

With idea this (nice but) simple, you should have used more time. The size of the bird, perspective and overall blend is careless. You should re-draw the upper arrow where the bird stands and try to make a clean blend. (Not a bad idea otherwise, thou..)

COULD work a little bit better if they were on the sea.. 'They just don't blend' is all that comes to my mind..

I would have prefered a bit more colour for the bacgkround too, now it feels like it's completely black and white against her skin, even when it's not. You should remove the light transparency from the body/leg.. I wouldn't mind if the cape is a little bit transparent thou. If the spike reflections are actually shadows, you should check the orientation. Good work here..

Not bad at all. As the major light source is on the left side of the image, you could brighten up the right section just a little, and maybe add gentle shadows for the (mail box looking?) pillars. Also remove the light grey spots on both (bottom) sides of the tiger. As the colours on the door are quite striking/strong too, you could maybe add some level enchantment for the tiger with a colour/level tool or similar. Now it's just a little bit 'pale' .. Good job with the overall design.

Splendid idea. If you could only give a bit more 'wet look' for the dog, it would be awesome. Simple but creative idea and nice job..

If there only would be some original mushrooms right next to them or some other alterations.. nice idea, but just a little bit too simple. Still could use some warp or inner shadow or similar to make them appear more round and 3D.

The shadows are gone, but I would have liked the eyes better in the middle. Good job overall..

I would personally think of the colours a little more. If it's raining and dark(ish?) outside, the dog is quite well lid - and so is the girl.. but this is very good work, beatiful picture.

It looks like you can see some of the sun clocks shape through the birds chest.. should fix that maybe? Nice idea, you could add a bit more extra there to make it more interesting.

Some last evil crawling out of the box would have been nice. Few of the foreground birds don't blend very well. Also the background source looks a bit blurry and unsharp.. I like the box and other work here, very good.

True. It takes a few second to realize it's kicking.. don't know if it's a problem really, something for your mind to work on. /me likes..

Indeed, another awesome entry for this contest. The lower part of the crown is so high and narrow, don't know if it would keep steady on you head. But it looks spectacular, the strange shadows on the background, they I would have lost. Nice job..

Very good work and has at least something to do with the original picture, unlike many other late entries.. Those nice eyes definitely make it look more 'cartoonish' ..

Some problems with the perspective here, as it looks like it's a bit twisted.. also doesn't match with the angle of the other stones. Like the idea, maybe you could add also some name or something to it.. (And yes, blending with the ground needs more work..I vote later if you decide to improve this..)

To be honest, I don't like the 'heart' at all.. otherwise this is spectacular work in many levels. It could have used some colours for gems and the background, but it's a matter of taste really. Best work I've seen in weeks..

Yes. Looks a bit more like a cage, but it's a good render. The bird could be more elegant, with full spread wings etc.. but I like this.

Nice idea for a poster. Some work with the general contrast and colours maybe, but very good..

One of the best ideas so far. The lightning and shadows/colouring is a bit unrealistic, but it goes for the whole picture really.. so it's not that bad. I like it..

Nice..

Not bad at all. The statue texture in the middle/blending section would have made it even more realistic. Very nice..

Would make very nice if you could fix the skin under the head shadow/hair .. very cool idea.

The wing shadows are a bit too dark, also you could check out the vanishing point for the shadows with your light source. A bit too much blur with the flying one, maybe?

Excellent idea, thou the blending to the screen could be locateda bit better. Also the screen perspective is a little off.. but _very good_ idea, I like it..

Ok source and a clean cut, but the direction the boy is going is.. odd? Some extra work would be nice, now it's just a clean cut/paste really..

You could have selected a better source picture for the background.. a picture of a well or something. I like the idea, but a lot of more work needed.

Ya.. more work needed with this perfectly good idea.. Gonna vote later if you decide to work on this - I hope you do.
