nice !

It would be better changing the perspective of the road, considering the view of the car...

Cute. But the road needs to be scrunched down significantly (probably roughly to the bottom of the tire rims) to make its vanishing point match that of the vehicle (which also needs to be matched by the crease in the vehicle's front bumper thingee). The shadow where the wheels touch the road needs to be much darker to eliminate the floating look (more evident in hi-res). The forward edges of tires are odd and don't seem to match the perspective of the car body.

Very nice image the tire spots bugged me a little though they seem to down play the rest. ; )

Pretty cool

great work, but as the previous entry. the goal of this contest is to show two opposite sides of the same person.

interesting and original

Great work!!!!

Congrats!!

Congrats for your third place, Erathion!

very nice

cool!

very nice picture

Author: Cool. I wasn't sure if you'd done it on purpose. I think that it's great! Good idea throwing off the symetry with that.

I like it especially the owl

THis could have been done by Magritte, though perhaps he wouldnt have used a lens flare and rainbow colored ladder. For the rest pretty good on theme. Good luck!

Shadows are fine. The light radiates from an obvious central object. And @ Martrex: read the FAQ. An entry doesn't need to have a SBS unless it is created solely from the PXL source with no outside sources. An entry with a decent SBS will usually get better votes, though...

I like this one

reminds me of a tutorial on the top secret photoshop dvd

yea i agree with cmyk46 especially around th mouth {could use more blending} also and the left side of face kinda looks as if its off of the face a liitle

Pay more attention to edges, especially around the eyes...shadows, too.

cool

Nicely done GL

Nice job, the eye's look great. Bit wrinkley for a wow girl though :P. Good luck
Edit: Nice drawing work too

Now I'm new here but what I don't understand is why usually everyone yells when there isn't a step by step how I did it. Then other times not a peep from the same people who usually toot the horn loudly??? Newbie wondering??

Cool.....

Owl shadow is a little undigestable other than that....beautiful work....

Shadows are in different directions but a nice image....Nice work...

Nice image.

There's another image in this contest that uses a checkerboard floor. It's a great idea and you will find that the vast majority of renaissance paintings use some type of checkerboard pattern in the floor/ground to give the illusion of depth. Called an orthogonal grid. The problem with this image is that the angle of the checkerboard is such that you don't get that illusion because the vanishing points of the checkers is to the left and right of the vanishing point of the rest of the image. However, if this is your intention the image is fantastic. I am particularly fond of the lollypops.

@Ray Tedwell: I see it. The empty chair represents (his) absense. The Owl represents his flight. The watermelon represents the sweetness of her memory of him. The hand is the persistance of this memory as it hangs over her head. Not random at all IMHO. Very nice work, Author.

shadows fall two different directions... great image though! GL!

Beautiful composition...

Tough one given that this is surrealism, but this looks a bit more like placement of random images than a really surreal image (just imho). The colours all blend well and I love the watermelon , just fix the shadows

Bad shadows...looks like 3 different light sources, but the mood is good.

cool stuff going on, GL!

Nice job!

Cool image

shadows would add depth.

I think CMYK was right about the lighthouse.

It seems that this contest was geared at just making 1 door.

Shadows?

nice concept...n awesome colors composition...........

Pretty ....

This is pretty but dimensions are bit difficult to digest...

Different approach but looks quiet simple i guess...But all of them are beautiful...

this is pretty, in a creepy morbid way .. wives tale says 2 crows mean death....

Girl is too small, light is from the right, solighthouse should be flipped to match...

I think you should make the girl bigger..she looks tiny weeeny

The girl is very small, and the smallest crow should be a bit smaller. The lighthouse doesn;t seem to fit in too well to the background, perhaps a colour overlay above your image for blending? Good luck!
