Very nice indeed.. I am not sure - but your edges might be a touch sharp? I am not great at working with chrome, but you have done a great job!

Nice idea - you need to match the blur of the bird to the fingers..

Nice - I would clone out the grass etc. Just neatens up the image IMHO.

Nice - do they have feet? or shadows?

I would not have thought of that well done

Impressive!!

Author - i take it by your description that the girl is a ghost or similar? Also we can see through her.. If thats the case - you need to make the full seat and ropes visible too. A bit of time with the clone tool should do the trick..

Nice

Author: use the metal clips in each socket as a guide to how blurred each plug needs to be!

Nice work.. Not sure why the rectangle shape is there? As you have given some depth to the tool bar, I would add some to the screen also. IMHO Great idea

Thats the very reason you cannot use it author! You need to have the person who took the image give you permission if you want to use it. That is why we use stock sites. Search some of them and you will likely find a legal replacement background to suit.

Looks like a southpark version of LKY!!

I like these odds.. I bet you $100k I know who made this!! Hahaha... Looking at the sign your crab comes out past the edge of it? Also could do with a slight blur to match the rest of it. What did you do with the water at the horizon??

Hahaha - gave me an idea where else to have her stare!! LOL.. She is stunned by the bling of the runners.. Whats the square corner on the guys leg?

I would make the coverings on the other seats black also..

Damn that looks cold!!

Author: I hope you didn't take my comment that you were stealing?? I just said it looked familiar to me? I cannot place where or why.. No accusations involved.. Honest..

Maybe move the highlights on the apple to match your light source?

Nicely done.. Only thing I can see that needs some work is the eyes.. I think the more typical outline would suit them better? Your choice..

Nice work.. This looks familiar for some reason??

Nice work - as much as I like it I would suggest checking with a mod to make sure its legal? Just because you have found the image on a stock site, does not always mean its useable.. It a photo from a book - I would think it copyright? Check to be sure. Maybe even find an impersonators image and rework? See what happens anyway..

I would make your clouds a little more solid.. The edges of the hands coming to the bottom of the image make the clouds look weak? I would boost them a little.. IMHO. Also you should not let other people play with your planets.. The one in the top left has a flat spot?

I was about to say exactly the same thing - great idea!!

Great idea and well executed..

... and the story continues that the giant dropped the large rock on the poor little fella for trespassing...

Great work..

Your first source link has double links in it.. Just delete the wrong part..

Nice work - I can understand the big 'wham' star in the background - but the yellow ball?? Artistic license I suppose

Hahaha

Thats looking a lot better Well Done..

Oohh - the mood is getting darker - if it was me, I would open the lions mouth!! Its all focussed towards that!

Hahaha - good story!!

Nice work - but that cloud over the moon looks like it could do with a touch up..

Nice work - as always..

Nice work - IMHO there is one horn on the back that looks out of place, the sort of rippled one? Nice work though

Maybe add a new sand texture all along the middle?? Would remove the conflicting shadows?

Hmmm.. Not sure what you have done - but your pole and sign are now semi transparent! So are some of the pillars at the top.

Maybe find a nice grime or grunge texture and overlay it to your wall also??

I bet you had a lot of fun making this.. I would look at suitable 'fun' background also - but dont go over the top - you dont want it stealing the focus of the image. The only thing I can see that may make it better [or worse] you seem to have some parts that look 3 dimesnional and then there are others that just look flat.. eg the body looks to have depth but the neck is flat. Not a lot you can probably do about it - just an observation.. Fun stuff

Great start for the contest!! I think you just need to adjust your bowl reflection to make the left side bulge out some more - it makes the apple look very flat along that side!

Hahaha - i started one just like it.. I ended up trashing it! Could not get the right feel to pull it off to my liking.. You really need to be sure of your perspective. The buildings should all be on the same angle from our viewpoint. The two outer ones are close but the on in the middle needs to be rotated more. A bit more time on your edges also would help.

So you have just cropped this image and used a plugin??

Nice - as Gopan suggests - a bit more work on the foor to remove the curved timber.. I would also duplicate the front legs and scale them down a touch and give the seat some back legs too..

Impressive - i like the idea.. But is that the phone on the side where the door is open? I would have thought by the shape of the box if that was the open side we should see some of the background through the opening.

Nice work

Great idea - right on theme..

Good to see you have the city lights showing the underside of the ship!

Also difficult to distinguish what is hanging from the vase? Maybe burn it a touch more to alter the colour from the background?

Its different.. I dont think the duck would have a shadow at its feet? That would be where some of the light is coming from. The antigravity duck!!

Much better
