The eyes should have some color.

wonderful ! great job !

nice.. to see this... GL

the face is too blurred in high reso but nice job on the furs

this is good but I do agree with Bob and lose the clothing, the dots heh it is your chop good luck Author

less is definitely more.. good luck author

cool concept

fun image!

nice work!

Lovely colours, reflects the childlike fantasy

very beautiful

wonderful !

The shadows could use some work, but the author's right..it is a fantasy and i dont think wondering wether or not a kids parents are going to let them on this road is what this image is about..lol..and about the color, i think the image intensity is on purpose describing the quote the author has given..GL author

this looks better.. and yea Danlundberg was right.. good update on that.. and I see that in the background of background image, there are other birds resting on the trees.. lucky pick on background.. good luck..

Nicely done except the background makes the birds appear to be about the size of hummingbirds. And the green branch they're perched on seems kind of weird.

Good job author.. I feel that u need to do a little bit more work on their legs.. they need to get a good grip and front ones legs doesn't seem to be with the body.. they need to blend with the body.. try smudging the body area over legs to give it a look of small hairs.. I guess that'll cover the sharp end..

well done

Great concept that would have been better without a fully clothed woman emerging, and all the dots in the foreground.

Very good idea, I'm not sure if it works though. Perhaps if the bug was hanging from a branch or something (up side down). Good luck

Congrats!

Very nice different image...good luck author

Love it...great symbolism...good luck author

really really cute.. adorable.. lovely.. and avatar effect.. wait.. yes.. avatar effect.. hehe.. I love kitties..

nice work ....

Appealing sentiment, but it's hard to imagine anyone would illustrate it with this image if they weren't forced to use the source. (What parents want their kids to leap between blossoms far up in the sky?) That said, the intense colors of the blossoms overwhelm the kids. And their shadows are distractingly intense and don't follow the contours of the blossoms they fall on. I think moving the kids more to the foreground (i.e., bottom of the image) would be more effective. [Alternative concept: regular road lined by giant tulips on either side.]

It's better because the space between the two faces are not blank now. However, what I suggested is you can make the wide gradient on the line between day and night. The sudden change from night to day just separate them. Anyway, just IMO . Keep practicing, you will be much better

congrats.

I love this idea . Maybe if you make a gradual transition between day and night, this could be more harmony. Also the eyes need more contrast, let make them the center of your image. Good luck, author

Congratulations for 1st

awww... really cute work i love this imo, maybe you could reduce the contrast a bit

the best way IMO to avoid this repetition is by transforming the sizes.. hope you got the point.. and leave some spaces..

Congratz to 1st!!!

Agree with Anna, also I suggest you to make the bottom of the sky brighter, while darken the ground and the cats' backs a bit. You have two choices for the shadow: if the brightness of the sun increase, you can make the longer shadow by distorting the one you already created, or cast the light on the heads of the cats and the shadows are small, almost disappeared (because the sun doesn't enlighten this place). I also like this cuties, and this is very encouraging as your first drawing. Good luck

Looks quite ok. If you see the boy in the background and then the hole in the glass and connect these 2 with an imaginary line, I'd expect the bullit going up instead of down. A possible nice thing about moving the bullit more higher is that you look against it which gives it a more impressive angle (you may want to make it a bit bigger too for an exaggerated perspective effect, is up to you). Good luck!

Congrats! for your win. Cute entry

This is adorable! just a tad flat. The shadows are wrong for this lighting concept, but I like it very much Thank you for the cuteness, and the smile it put on my face!

At first glance, your grass looks like cattails. In fact it almost looks like some cattail tops within. Chopping in some random cattail tops & a bit of green on the lower portion of the leaves could really break up the repetition referenced in the previous comment and add nicely to your composition.

The sense of motion and the reflectivity of the glass is looking better. I like it!

Congrats, lovely work

congrats on number ONE.. woo hoooo

Congrats for your first place, Erikuri! Great composition and idea

Agreed, perhaps some transparancy on the shattered pieces too

on the broken peices try and place a reflection on them they look a little bit too solid ATM aswell but this is looking very cool ! g/l Author

There is no seam on the inside of a tennis ball.. convinving effect apart from that. Good luck!

Try putting a motion blur in the flying glass. It will give it more of a moving fast effect and give it more depth, like the bullet but less blurred. GL!

grass looks repetitive.

the concept is really nice, but a bit too purple for my taste
