This girl looked quite small, I think. But it's a good job. GL, author

Very different approach ...add a SBS too GL

this is pretty.. although why is there a single Gerb. growing out of stone???

Lighten the shadow a bit maybe....

Very good work! congrats!!!!

Congrats for your third place, Erathion!

Congratulations for 3rd

very good,gl

I agree with jawshowhah, the humps are not blended very well, and it looks like they are behind the sheep and not actually on it.

Shame about the sky and footprints.. still, nice manipulation.

personally i love OOB images, always have. But he doesn't look like he is actually coming out of the photo, you need to play with the angles more

very nice

very nice

The humps look crooked, like not in the right place.

Looks better in high res. GL!

hahaha kinda reminds me of another contest i seen pn another site where they had to put citys in flying saucers but i like yours too its different

good job... good luck!

Try using a real sky, and make some realistic footprints.

Funny looking image. I think maybe make the neck a little bit longer?Just an idea.

Congrats

This would have been kinda decent if he was actually jumping from the image provided. + the tutorial thing :S

Really nice!

good job, love your creature. Best of luck.

I can see the source in the tial but I was thinking where the mountain meets the lake, doesn't loot natural. Edge of water is too blurry. Next entry, perhaps.

don't just copy a tutorial. nobody's interested in seeing that. it's a big no no

its nice, but has been done more than i can count. would have been better to use the original bg of the image, and edit the snow boarder out, well done but not very original

agrees with jaescoe.

I like it. Really an alien place.

Make sure you mention the tutorial you used.

it is very nicley done but i do have to agree with jamesd

i've seen this a lot

I was waiting for a copy of photoshop top secret... the snow in the black area looks more like a smudged hand print than snow dust...

looks good but without a SBS I cannot realy see any source here

Not bad, SBS would be better...needs links for sky & water.

Nice photo. May look better without the chromatic aberrations

Please remove the border.

You have to remove the border...

haha this is such a good idea

the umbrella looks flat. I think it could have been cropped better too. Dodge and burn would help give the umbrella and bug some definition.

Great...very out of the box...

Agrees with the perspective but I think a better fix would be some more feathering on the bottom edge. It just seems a little hard, compared to the doors that you got right. I think santa's face should be a little lit more visable. For what it's worth, your imagination and creativity, as well as a unique entry will earn you extra points.

Fun pic...I'd think the VW would be bigger....

Perspective isn't fixed...all images are straight on except for the desk which is angled left.

Love the idea, very original, I think the doors look to out of place, perhaps a border of clouds around them or even fading the edges might help. Fix that and strighten the desk and you'll have a great image

Good idea! Perspective on the desk thing is off, and what's the red thing on the escalator?

Congrats!!

congrats! for 1st place.
