good choice of images , well blended with a great outcome . well done author.

Really well done!

Great work!

Excellent work

Masterpiece, I love it !

I like the illusion of a whole guitar created by the reflection.
Very well done.

Lovely retouching and colouring work.
One suggestion I have for improvement is to straighten the platform where she is standing. A slight rotation to the right should do it.

ack.. I have no idea, I suck at suggesting stuff, it's always rejected.. hehehe

should do a contest theme around Tang Yau Hoong!?

Congrats on first!

Shocking.. yes he is a "Real" artist.. hehehe.. I remembered the name from one of the million magazines I came across in the waiting rooms at the doctors. Don't ask me which one, I've been in an out of the hospital so much in the last two years it would be hard for me to figure out which waiting room I was in. For a split second I thought this was one of his pieces Great job and good luck.

and let the creative inspirations begin. great entry

Tang Yau Hoong? (I had to google the spelling). Tag Yo Hoog gets you some very interesting google results.
I always think of him when I see the "Apple" logo on the back of someone's laptop or other digital device. Even though he didn't create it, it always reminds me of him. This entry put me there as well. Good luck author. Very inventive and creative.

This is a really well designed piece and I like it very much however I do agree there is too much negative space.

Good image. You might want to crop it to lose some of the empty space.

Very nice image. Like the fog effect.

Well this is TOTALLY different than the original one, but it is Very VERY well done... I'm just a bit perplexed as to why you didn't just replace the Earth with a CC pic and then submit this as a NEW ENTRY.. but I know you are new to this site so everything comes from experimentation and learning. I'll let the MODS handle anything from here (resetting the vote and or deleting the entry and allowing you to resubmit)... Good luck author.. great to see your talent

As a responce to Drivenslush's reply:
Using DA stock is perfectly OK as long as you use the DA stock images. Mods will NOT check up on the, mostly ridiculous personal stockrules members at DA have. This is your personal responsibility. You can read up on this in our guide, page 18: http://www.pxleyes.com/courses/guide/guide.pdf

This one is nice, I, as I said before liked the lighting.

Congrats on 5th

poor little guy.. reminds me of the "Nowhere Man" hehehe

Author, we will allow the lens flare, but you will need to change the earth source.

Agree with Drivenslush, a soft darkening on the dove will make the trick better. Nice image... good luck.

rturnbow is correct about the Earth image. You can find many on Flickr with this link: https://www.flickr.com/search/?advanced=1&license=1%2C2%2C9%2C10&text=earth
This image is just one you'll find on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/northshoreschoolofart/8666615947/sizes/l

We do allow some simple images like lightbeams and many grunge textures that are actually Photoshopped. I'll check with the other mods and see if the lens flare source is acceptable.

Author, your talents are very excellent, and you should have no problem fixing this entry with the proper sources. Great LOOK!!!

nice concept. Hope you can address rturnbow's support statement and fix the little things. GL.

The earth background is a chop that someone else did and isn't allowed. It's not hard to find an earth image from NASA, you might try that. Also, there's no indication the lens flare is a photograph and might be a photoshop as well. You might want to create the lens flare yourself instead.

way cool author . GREAT ENTRY . glad you fixed it. All the best .

Great job author... especially using Deviant Art.. the rules are off the tank over there, also.. trying to discern photo stock from art is a nightmare. Extra points for doing a WHOLE NEW chop... really gives me a bright light in my heart on the human spirit. (and that's all the Pollyanna you're going to get out of me today hehehe)

The lighting gives the image a nice feeling.

ah poop balls.. great chop author, but I'm afraid you've been double thunked and I won't add to the mix.. you can fix it.. with your talent it should be no problem .. good luck

hi author please check to see if you can use the forest background. the original person has already photoshopped it from day to night.

Love what you have created so please if you can not use this image find another and keep your entry in.
play with curves and other light changing tools in photoshop to get the same effect if you find another day time usable photo.

Good luck . PM me if you need help

Good mood, but the wings are a render, and not useable. You've also got conflicting shadows, and IMO the house would be a bit bigger. You'll have a good image with a few tweaks. (Look at your background image. The light source is from mid left. Shadows should be cast accordingly).

Now I keep thinking the bird is a butterfly and she's holding a butterfly net lol
