lol this is great . Looks like the frog is enjoying the splat.

I like this one! It looks like the fly was smashed against a piece of glass. I especially like the spit/guts spraying... Nice idea, and nice job on it. Maaaaybe you could add a small shadow (burn) between the two tongue pieces, to create a shadow above the top one. Just a thought. Great work and good luck!

cool execution!

I think this is a great image...good idea and well executed..GL!

I see what Langstrum is saying, but I can forgive any problems with the DOF. The picture is meant to look cartoony and caricature-like from the start so I don't think the DOF is too much of a problem. IMO, of course. Very creative and very well executed. Good luck, author.

Langstrum is right about the source and DOF, however IMO I would perceive the blur of the fly (legs and wings) to be motion blur. The fly would be the only thing moving rapidly at that point, so although closer would be the most blurred.....Great entry

Your main problem is the source for the fly is the photo with shallow DOF but the frog's one is not. Imagine that if you place anything behind the fly, it will become blurred (so your image is wrong in term of DOF, Depth of Field). You can fix that by blurring all the area behind the fly or re-create the blurring part of the fly (mush tougher). However, the idea is very good

she's on steriods!!!!!!!

I think a better source image would have eliminated a lot of your problems to begin with.

what a great idea funny

Nice one...gl

i like this...

The idea is good, I really like it, but execution needs some improvements. Looks like you're hiding some mistakes on the layer of the father by blurring. You can say it because of the DOF, it's alright, but I can't imagine the father is not in the same plane with the child (because the his shadow is as sharp as the shadow of his kid). Moreover, the right hand of the father needs to be recovered, looks like he loses fingers. Just my opinion, don't take it offensive. Good luck, author

lol... funny

That is really cool, however, I wish the baby were in the same focus as the rest of the picture. Everything has a nice Gaussian blur to it and that baby is just crystal clear. Evening out the tones and sharpness of the three main items would really add to the painterly quality of it. Nice job overall though for sure!

lol :P

Nice job for only being 12. Just remember author that not all constructive criticism is constructive.

looks pretty cool! i agree w/ cmyk on the branch though

Actually I was never even thinking low image quality. It's a great entry. GL!

Name calling ? lol

How would you learn ? Don't waste your time masking tree's. Like I said, get a pre masked tree or don't use a tree. You worked hard at this, I can tell, But if you spent your tree masking time on effects or some kinda surprise it would pay off better. Not being a smartass, honestly, I bet this comes last or second last.

hey i'm not saying that your thunderbolt is so unreal.ok...but when a thunder hits any place the area get lightend

you could use the lightning effects to make the thunder more real

Interesing

agrees. You could have used a pre masked tree from deviant art or download mask pro

Bad masking on tree, bad perspective...branches wouldn't be behind the church.

interesting

Nice, but maybe show the T.V. frame in front?

nice work gud luck

BIRD POOP INVADERS!!!... wowzers author...awesome job..(now call Superman LOL)

(super to see you back sir

Congrats on your placement.

congrats BJ

Congrats!!

Congrats for your third place, Bjaockx!

Awesome image

Concept and idea are pretty creative but work still needs improvement......

Good one....

The blend is beautiful.....and the work is awesome....good luck....

Author, I was referring to the lost detail on the white areas of the dancer.

Texture segments don't match well, but it's an interesting idea...

Good idea...

ya I just don't like the graininess of it.. it sort of meshes the picture into the background... idk it is just my opinion..I do like the concept though

cool

nice idea..and very pretty

The picture quality of this seems not so great.... But I like the idea ..it is really neat, good job

That's exactly what I was referring to. Much better!!! The ONLY other nitpick I have that I didn't notice until now is see how there's repetitive sequins on the left? Probably where you connected the source to make it into a wall? (see the 8 dark sequins that look like they're in a pattern?) I would try and blend those a little better. It would look more natural that way. The corner looks good though. You should do well. GL!

Nice...

You've got a corner that seems to just disappear behind her arm, rather than being a visible edge. Do you see what I mean? I'll hold my vote.

White areas are pretty blown out compared to the source pic, but not bad...
