Nice Work there but the bubbles seem a bit too bubbly for my taste. The shine is a bit overdone, almost comic like.

Nice colors, well done. Maybe I expected the globe on the left to be a bit higher for better composition but that's just imo. Good luck!

too improve your score, you could make the background tree different then the foreground tree (simple warp and manipulation would suffice) the roots and tree are just mirrors,variants always improve image (IMHO) great job and good luck

Terrific SBS, well done. As for my wondering about the glasses, let's chalk that statement up to my confusion as to which contest I was thinking about. Thought i was looking at a mixed media entry.

1965 Gemini mission, prelude to the Apollo project. I Like what you've done here. A SBS would be good, as I am wondering where the glasses came from.

Very thought-provoking. (I alert viewers that the dove is crisper in the hi-res.) I'm not sure I understand why the barbed wire doesn't cast any shadows on the egg shell. But I'm willing to accept lack of ground shadow as artistic license.

Good one... The effect looks pretty much real and the blend quality is also very nice.. Good luck...

Dramatic. I love the saturated color. However, the boat's shadow seems too strong on the far left side of the image and the edges of the shadow seem too crisp . A gradient shadow with a Gaussian blur to soften the edges might be more convincing. The background trees are odd in that they don't seem to be casting shadows despite the intense boat shadow (which I admit is consistent with the source image which also has a foreground element casting a shadow [albeit not quite as strong and in the opposite direction as here] with no apparent tree shadows). Also, the cloud at 10 o'clock that precisely matches the moon's upper edge makes it look like it's on the moon.

Amazing work.... With a meaning. As CMYK says, look for other usable source for the barbed wire. Your image is powerful and it would be sad to have it removed.

Good work author! Have not seen recent work from you, but I think you did a good job in this particular one. Good blending of the images. Good luck!

George55 says:

I like your work from way back. In this particular one, the only thing that I had done different, is to make the background a little greener to blend the image better. The blur on the background is great, and the use of the smudge tool on that central area, is good too. So, good luck!
