Wow...nice one. The rain is done extremely well. Perhaps the girl would look a bit better with some more contrast, though, but you'd have to see. Great image overall!

Nice one! The posterize adds a great effect.

The edges of things, especially the trees and the building, are a little crude and fuzzy. But the picture is otherwise awesome. Fix that, and you got a high vote from me.

I agree somewhat with Tuckinator, even though you did really manage to make a beautiful picture. Either way. I still love it. Great work!

Wow...the good stuff always comes towards the end lol. You did an amazing job. I wish you'd have used more of the bird though (rather than mainly the light) but the result is beautiful Great work and good luck...

Wow...you did an excellent job on the hair. Thumbs up!! The body still has a bit of a black haze, unless that's on purpose. In that case, you're good to go. And God bless you too, author...been awhile since I heard that.

Wow...this is beautiful. Excellent work!

Thank you very much author. I know that the bird IS technically visible in the picture...but, IMHO, the source pic has just been over-liquified and over-burned to the point that it's being forced into a shape it has nothing to do with it to begin with. Once again, you did a good job, so, points for that. It's just the overall style of work that I'm not a fan of. But thank you for listening and making an argument rather than just flaming me as has been done to me in the past. :p

You did a nice job but...I just don't really like the kind of work where it's become impossible to recognize the original picture. All this is is a grey texture shaped into a figure...the only real component of the bird or bird-related object here is a small crack along the skull.

Kind of a jagged chop but it's a nice effect if you're going for a cartoonish look. Hehe, nice work!

Wow, awesome job here...great work, author!

Creative and interesting...very surreal.

EDIT: Hey, it's you!

Wow...beautiful image and amazing mood. High marks for this...
Just one suggestion--dunno if the top-left edges of the man can be made to look more realistic. In high-res, the hair looks a bit jagged and it's like there's still a bit of an outline around him.

This is really nice and the mood is great. Just wondering why its left paw is whited-out...

NEEJASSS!!!!!

The roses need a bit of shadow...but the image overall is nice. Good luck!

Nice job! One of my favourites so far.

Nice chop on the cave man and bride. Just trying to figure out what the background is supposed to be...I see trees in one corner by the rest is whited out. Otherwise, you got a lovely entry. Good luck!

Beautiful image...a great surrealistic effect. Would be cleaner if there was perhaps a little more grass emerging from the front of the tree rather than just out to the sides. Otherwise this is probably my favourite entry here, so far. Nice work an good luck!

I like your idea here. Very creative. My only complaint would be that the edges of the wings look a bit fuzzy in some areas and there are alot of light-blue blotches that seem to mess up parts of the angel.

Nice effect! Is it just me though, or do the clouds look a bit messy against the sky?

Well, I can't really see the bird, and I don't know what the heck this is supposed to be, but it looks very eye catching and interesting. Good work.

Ohhh wait a sec...the background is YOUR work? Okay okay I see now...a more detailed SBS would have cleared up my confusion then...I thought you had taken the work from another person. But I understand now; so great job!

Agree with CMYK...very nice work here.

Nice! You did a great job with the lighting, the bridge...and pretty much everything. Awesome!

Actually, I like the flare. This is a very nice piece of work...great idea and execution!

Okay this really needs an SBS...and isn't just using the bat a somewhat minimal use of source?

NO! The legends are true! The Tower of Ugther has risen from the icy depths of the ocean to wreak havoc upon badly-photoshopped scribbled land! Curse you Ugther! CURSE YOU! But you are no match for my new weapon...tremble at the power of PHOTOSHOP CS5!!! I SHALL CHOKE YOU WITH MY PUPPET WARP! DELETE YOU WITH CONTENT-AWARE FILL!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

*ahem* *coughcough*

When you enter a contest...no one should even bother to enter after lol. Simply beatutiful work...I wish I knew how to draw like that. :p

CORRECTION: Saw the SBS. Not even a drawing. WOW. That is quite an amazing piece of work there.

Seriously weird but GOOD WORK! Can I be the one jerk who complains about little details lol? I see on his right hand that he has four fingers, but on his left it only looks like he has three...unless that's part of his alien features.

EDIT: Okay well argued. Nothing more to complain about. Nice job and good luck!

The dragon is pretty nice...but I almos find it disappointing that the background is just another pxleyes entry. :/ Would've been nice if you could have made your own or found a more original image.

Very nice job on the drawing here! The only reason I deduct points here is because it's pretty much ONLY drawing...a mix of both photo just seems to fit the theme of a photoshop contest over, say, a drawing contest. But the image is still great...good luck!

Just found this one. *Ahem* Ah HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Gratsss!! I'm really glad this placed!

Mucho grats on this one! It was a tough contest, but I think this truly deserves a first.

Grats for your *first* third, blindscientist!

Gratz, chalty!

Grats, artgirl!

Oh alright. It was just because the tank/goggles/hat combo seemed to come from this tut: http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/photo-effects-tutorials/how-to-create-a-steampunk-style-illustration-in-photoshop/

At a second more detailed glance, you did a really really awesome job with this. Good luck, author.

Very nice! This is from a tutorial, is it not? Looks quite familiar.

Nicely done and excellently blended! The limbs just seem a bit strange floating like that. It would be better if they were on the branch. Excellent work otherwise.

ULTRA POLLY!!!! Duh-duh-duuuuh!!! Lol creative...it's always obvious who did this.

Oh man, Spaceranger...LOL!!!

Ha HA!!!! That is too funny... I can see alot of CMYK jokes on the horizon here...

Very simple but effective. You found the perfect man to add in! He totally belongs--looks realistic enough to be a photograph.

Great job! Looks decent and realistic. Good luck!

Rofl! Great job, and the title is epic!

Nice work on the cracks. Good luck, author.

I like it...a very nice mood overall. You did a very nice job. Good luck, author.

Haha clever! I love the heads and the cups especially. Great work, author, I like this even more than your previous entries.
