It looks cool , even better in contrast with wood background .

The idea was good, it needed some work.

It's original and dynamic. Well done.

Looks good, with a double layer that is blured and overlayed you could make the impression of a 'sfumato'. Or just blur around 2 and then edit fade-blur until it looks right.

I have to admit, it's an original idea.

I guess you wanted to make a monumental scene with the lightning that illuminates the ground, and you inserted the Christ to underline the fatalism ( if i can say so) of the momment. Suggestions for the future: target your theme and exploit it at the max. In this case the lighning. You should place just a big powerfull one instead of many, and put it in contrast with the rest of the scene. Also , you should avoid using religious symbols in a way that might offend folks, cause you're entry can get removed, instead of getting appreciated.

I like the lava-water and the colors. Some red light reflected on the metal of the robots would make them more integrated. For reflections in rough water use Displacement maps, but in this case you must be carefull or lucky with the blending mode, to make it look good.

Wow, you were really succesfull in recreating the mood, i like your attention to details from what i've seen in the SBS. Congrats.

Great scene, fits with the season! My favorite parts are the fog on the ground and the cozy light from the house lamp. In step 12 you had some pumpkins in the background, have you forgot to turn on the layer or did you just dropped them?

Nice one, but what's the story, why is it an end and not a beginning. Maybe the landscape that we can see through the bottle should be distorted somehow, maybe a spherize.

a silly grass cat chassing silly jeans mice would have been interesting.

For an entry made from scratch, this is not bad!

Can i be honest? I think you made this for some other contest, and you thought it fits the theme. Well it does..

great scene

great nightmarish mood.

Don't give up man. As you can see even in this contest entries, 50% of the time invested in the creation was finding the right legal sources, then you add some effects you've learned on the internet and that's it. You can try this way before you become a good creative chop-er.

I like the sky. You should add more ground beneath the windwill for more integration into the scene.

The mills are well integrated, i won't comment on the theme.

One of the best of this contest.

great mood , i like the contrast with the sky. About the camel: "a fully-grown adult camel stands 1.85m/6 feet at the shoulder and 2.15m/7 feet at the hump" so you could calculate how big it should be, but it doesn't matter that much. Great entry.

I like it, looks pretty cool.

super cool image. I like it a lot.

Not bad, i like it.

You have the 'motion blur' for movement, as a tool, and you could paint some waves around it.

Joeshaw was wrong, entry is on theme. I like the dynamic look of it, but that's not enough. It could use improvement.. for starters blur the edges, maybe eve use a gradient to make the top of the tower dissapear into the night. There's also a black rectangle in the bottom middle-which i don't get. Anyway keep it up.

good one, i like it.

I like the mood. good work.

You should check a few tutorials online about how to do this. Here's an example, but you can find better: http://www.rnel.net/tutorial/Photoshop/13207 . Another tip: desaturation filter.

It's a succesfull attempt, except what Cmyk said, but you can replace the sky or erase some parts of it.

Find a free brush for the stars and experiment with that. Right now it looks like an invasion

The moon is well reflected, but i vote for no moon. I think you introduced it to make the composition more interesting, but now it's a competition between the moon and the aurora borealis, and the image lost it's focus center. IMO the ship and Aurora would be more than enough.

Yeap, like waz said make the crane sharper, add the crane's head in the picture, add the fish head from the other contest into it's beak and you got yourself an entry! Make it look like the crane just picked up the fish. Use full size picture for better Q : http://www.pxleyes.com/images/users/t/tapiona/36/fullsize/4adf924f809d4.jpg

I really like it.

Ok man, be ready: i think there is not much interaction between the character and the mirror, it looks like a random meeting between two different elements. The background doesn't help to much eitheir. Regarding the technical details, use blur to soften the edges of your layers, so that they look less copy pasted.

Great sources, good image quality, but i'm not sure what goes on there...

Why does it have to be pulled ?

Very cool one!

Maybe you'll have tiem to work out some background (old magic forest , something for ambient). And you could play with transparancy to get the shapes of the body, hidden/reveal effect would give more mistery to the composition.

You should make the background looking liek a drawing to match your composition, some filters curves should do it. Otherwise it looks like copy paste.

Lol!

You should go back to the psd fiel and save it in a higher resolutions, the low graphs take away the flavor.

Cool one! A whale's tale would make more sense than a shark's dorsal fin, giving the geo& cliamate, but anyway, still looks good.

that's what got him killed.

Awesome pic.

Yup, this looks like a nightmare. I'm glad you added the butterflies, they make contrast with the gore and also might suggest the presence of hope. Butterflies come from maggots afterall.

Me like it.

Nice one for a made from scratch.

good chop! Good find of sources, too.

Great, great work .

That's a real nightmare...
