I agree with pixelkid ... very interesting concept and great depth of field creation. Well done!

What a bright idea! And unique too!

?-) Okay ... love the colours and the creation

Very clever use of the source ... really like this one!

Stunning creation!

Beautiful and enchanting little world you have created. Truly well created and full of so many stories ... love the whole concept!

Super work!

My all time favourite game ...back in the day when it was actually an arcade game

Lovely idea and good blending ... bravo

Stunning work! Wonderful creation ... it would seem your imagination is boundless!

Bravo ... great shot!

Glad to see it back!

Extraordinary and very unique! Love what you have done ... he is sooooooo cooool!

Only problem is I am going to be singing that @(&^$* song for a week ... and everyone will think I am nuts (re: pianofrog instead of pianoman). Oh well ... the picture is worth a little pain and everyone thinks I am nuts anyway so no biggy!

Very lovely and beautifully created ... great composition and stunning colours! Very much a fav for me!

Stunning ... a wonderful Sci-fi/surreal image. Very creative and great composition ... the grasshopper is a perfect finishing touch! Would love to see an SBS!

Ah the memories ... makes me want to see it again!

Highly unusual and creep critters! Great work!

Fascinating poetry ... thanks for sharing!

Wonderful creation ... he must have fun seeing what is going on behind him! Who needs eyes in the back of your head when you have eye-stalks! Excellent work!

Love the guy in the background chasing the dragonfly! All around great work and love the twist of humour you have brought to it!

Points for concept for sure ... very unusual take on the source.

Great creation ... very Buddha-like look on his face!

Very nicely done ... bravo!

Astonishing ... what a wonderful creation. Truly fantastic!!! Love the way you have such a sense of menace to the whole piece! Definate fav and HIGH points!!!!

Hi! Just thought I should let you know that if you use your own photo's you have to show the original, unaltered photos in your SBS (step by step). See the rules here http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/photoshop

Rule 5.3. Use of Personal Images as Source: If you use your own personal images, the uncut source must be placed in the step by step with an explanation that it is your image.

If you have any question with and need help let me know or ask in the forums. You will usually get a very quick response.

Love the attention to detail (cricket in the background with the pack and the ladybugs fluttering wings is great). Very fun image!

Fascinating work ... colour is lovely and the concept is very "otherworldly".

Great atmosphere!

Interesting and very sinister image ... the look on his face works so well with the overall concept ...good choice of stock!

I would suggest softening (just a tiny bit) the outline around the Monk ... the hard edge works for the piece but is just a bit too hard ... a little softening will make it look less like a cut & paste. On the whole though it a well conceived and put together image!

I agree ... high res is definitely a must ... fascinating image!

Congrats on a lovely entry!

Congratulations! Another wonderful creation!

Congratulations ... great work!

Wouldn't the waffle have gotten too soggy by now and sunk! Or maybe it is one of the ones that I made last weekend ... they were so hard you could use them as bricks ... Fun idea!

Don't know what to say ... I like this ... your reflections are wonderful and the colour is a smash. Very strange but very appealing IMO

Interesting concept and results.

I was really hoping for an SBS on this and am disappointed ;-(. Fascinating image.

I have come back to this image a number of times now ... I cannot decide how I feel about it.
I LOVE the mood and expression you have capture but it almost seems surreal. It has something about it that just doesn't quite feel right (not in composition or subject). The more I look the more I think it is that the background is a little too blurry. I looks a little like those photo's you take where you take miniature objects and photograph them as if they are full size or on of those tilt/shift photos. This is not really a critique ... I am fascinated by this picture but still trying to figure it out.

Lovely concept and drawing. A little low on the original source but your work and expressiveness adds so much it is hard to fault you for that. Lovely work about a difficult and troubling situation. I hope you are safe throughout this hard time and hugs!

Nice concept and interesting use of source. Might have made the rocks in the background a little darker/shaper to match those in the foreground but that is just a small nitpick. Like your concept!

Lovely creation ... love the delicacy!

Look like the beetles we get here in the summer ... and they don't play music Fun!

Slushy's comment nailed it IMO ... very clever work but composition is a little disturbing. Good image all the same.

Absolutely fascinating image ... you have created a unique and diverse piece here ... it has a subtle message and I am going to fav it so I can keep coming back and see if I can figure out what it means (to me).

Great work and I agree with erathion, how'd you do it!!! Seriously though, well done and an unusual image!

Just love this ... what a wonderful creature you have created!

Very interesting ... almost has a Day of the Triffids feel .... arrrggh ... run away, run away!

Lovely, ah I can hardly wait! Perfect thought for this time of year when spring is soooo close and yet soooo far away!

Gruesome little thing isn't she. Has a very doll-like quality to her which makes it more impressive considering the scissors and the clothsline! Love the concept!

Simple, yes, but good choice of source ... he doesn't look to happy about the situation!
