Beautiful space scene author...Love the fantastic effects that u created here...Dan is right about focusing part, but this is yours space scene, maybe should to be a bit chaotic...best of luck

Multiple cool effects, but my eyes don't know what to focus on. A more extreme huge/modest/tiny ordering might help capture the 'space' notion better. The stars shining through the planet's rings seem out of place.

Very well done author! Best of luck!

Really nice job!

i like this

Very cool idea and nice final product.I like water frame very much,birds are nice touch too but fire demands a bit more work...play a bit more with fire frame perspective and maybe u could create dripping water effect in fire frame...any how this is very good work....best of luck

Very good!

It’s a very creative idea. But the blurring effect is a little to overpowering.....

well i thought this entry was good
it should have got a higher place...

congrats

Congratulations, for 2nd place

Congratulations!

Congrats for your second place, Lukas!

why are your sources not the ones you used in the image? Or I am somehow blind...

real nice

The mood makes the house looks even creepier, so good job!

This is very beautiful in its simplicity. I like it...

i like this style

The reflection of the sun could use some more work. Maybe distort it a little bit more and give it a sort of ripple texture or something.. could blend more to right on the water. Hopefully it's not an optical illusion, but the gray shade on the right side of the tree looks darker than on the left side.

I think it would look more awesome, if you could relocate your sun to almost middle of the picture, showing little bit behind the black tree silhouette but still somewhat on the left. Would be nice contrast.

Pretty nice work for this being a new technique for you.

congrats!

I like your style here.

Great job. The mood really sets it apart.

Great I love it!

You still have an issue with those birds as that image requires to be purchased to be used. You need to search for a free stock image. Use the "Resources" tab at the top of the page to take you to allowable sources. This link will also help http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/

awsomeeees

Very nicely done. You may want to look at the bird source though, it appears to be copyright. Change that and you will have a very nice entry that will remain in the contest. It would be a pity to see it eliminated.
