alot of work author.... well done, turned out great

I'd think the back wall would be darker than the walls lit by the lamps. Otherwise I love this...GL author!

This is so much better than the tutorial. But there didn't seem to be any corners showing in the tutorial Guess that doesn't matter. Also, I love the sand on the floor. Tutorial had baseboard around floor which wasn't in very good perspective. Great job!

Very elegant!

Wow!!!
I'd never want to leave a room like this! Excellent work, and one of the best examples of this concept I have ever seen. Instant Fav!

Amazing!
I like the shadows, and perfect combination with the background. And i like it the idea for the floor. Well done.

The predator animal still looks hungry

Very funny !

Love the Puppet Warp work.. excellent job!! good luck

You know that if instead of that guy you put a chick ( and it should be fairly easy to do so: change face, a bit of warp, a bit of liquify), no one will observe that the fire is unrealistic
If you then wanna fix the fire, you could try to find a lantern ( like this one : http://www.sxc.hu/photo/500803), and place the fire made out of BG's source in it: it would look more natural, imo.
You have a nice idea and mood here, by the way.

should get a cat with tongue sticking out, licking its lips... eyeing the bird...

add bird shit. as the bird is scared until it let go.... haha....

a paw on the cage would be nice (claws sticking out, shinny-like)

lighting contrast not strong enough to create mood

jus suggesting

not only is it nice, it is GREAT! I had no (0) trouble seeing the contest theme in this image

With the cage door closed, it's hard to see how the bird "got away..." Cute entry, nonetheless!

Really TERRIFIC!!! Maybe change the color of the cage to a metal silver? It seems the entire image is all shades of gold green.. eyes, background, cage..and the thumbnail looks blurred in these hues.. (Not a bad thing, but another color might make it pop even more.) SUPER CLEAN WORK!!

Great GREAT IDEA!!! all IMHO of course GL!

"I thought I saw a puddy tat!!"

Lovely image author!

Congrats!

This is a very interesting concept, but the composition really leaves something to be desired...
The oversized lumpy thing in the upper LH corner is dominating the image, with the fire and the wagon wheel helping to almost totally visually negate the gypsy, who is lost in darkness with the glowing orb casting almost no light on her.

You need to better establish your light source(s), and make them more consistent, especially the wagon wheel area, and the too dark area between it and the fire. The wagon simply should not be that bright, nor that unevenly illuminated...

The star "sparkle" brushes add nothing but additional confusion to this scene, as they do not emphasize your focal point, and just seem to be randomly tacked on.

In my opinion, it would be better composed if you just chopped off about 1/3 from the top and the LH side, and then adjusted your lighting.

Congrats

Congratulations!

Very nice coloring and shadow work.

very refine..woo HOO

Good entry, GL!

Link works fine now author. And nice image BTW.

Very nice, romantic!!!

Daniela, it has nothing to do with the adult filter at DA. The link gives me "Problem loading page". Maybe it is just the browser I am using (Firefox) but it is still giving me the error.

You need to set much more darkness on the models, since the background is currently darker than them so it looks weird, like they don't belong there.

Solkee, there is no problem with the link model, what happens is that the owner of this account on Deviantart (MjRanum), set filter "adult content" in most of his stocks, and if the person does not have an account on Deviantart , can not access the image.

Good job author!
Particularly not think BG combined with the scene, but the work is very realistic.

Author check your link to Source 1. It gives an error message.

This reminds me of a lovely cafe in Quebec City we visited...

Really lovely. Like the lighting you have produced.

Congrats ... well deserved!

beautiful!

nice effect! Congrats!

Congrats!

congrats!

Your work is stunning!

Lovely and believable image ... I want to be there!

Wonderful concept and great work!

Great work ... I had a hard time believing they were the same people until I say the SBS. Again, let me say, Great Work!

pretty with the chain fence and the brightly colored fruit

nice lighting

good work on this one, well done.

Congrats on first place Win

Very nice work author

Very Nice Work .... the idea is good
I guess that the edges of the waoman's hair is a little obvious ...
and the her chest must be a little smaller or a little rounder ...
but the rest is very very nice ....
I voted Good on this one

nice

hand can be smaller a little, rather big now

simply like this image... great work!

suggestions:
1) adjust the iris of the mirror image
2) the fat lady should be sad, the mirror lady should be happy?
3) fat lady's dress change to white?

nice contrast idea

Yes...... More realstic now .... good luck.

Best of the bunch. GL author!

Very Very hard work on this one, great job author
