OH NO! LOL.. very funny and cute author.. poor squirrel LOL good luck

thumbs up from me... wonderful entry author..

What a cool looking, soft balloon! Great idea, nice execution!

The color of the church is a bit too cool for the rest of the image. Perhaps a warming filter at a low opacity would help, but a nice chop.

I was, too. But the baby's too well lit. If it is under the planet's shadow, the baby should be all in shadow, not casting a shadow of itself...

EDIT: Better, now the baby looks more in the shadow.

The shadow of the planet, and the lighting on the baby do not match up.

The white spots are somewhat crooked on the nose...I think it would help with consistency if they were under (and above) both eyes, rather than just the tiger half.

leave the tree, but I suggest you 'tone-down' the mood of the whole image.

the rocks n tree is too sharp with high-contrast... a more dreamy feel should be applied

You'd get a better vote with a SBS.

that is something very good ,good luck

Very interesting, but I don't see the shoe as the focal point as required by the contest theme.

"do you want me to chop it down ????"

That would certainly give it a new twist on an old concept!

The hamster is too brightly illuminated for the rest of the image, and that one star brush on the RH side is a bit fake looking, but overall, you've made a nice image.

Very good blend author Good Luck!

The "tree growing out of an object to simulate surrealism" is getting really old. Otherwise it's not a bad image. GL author.

Bigfoot meets Chimp girl and this is the kids?

Elephino

i think there are no monkey that walk straight like this species one earth

Nothing new here...

it looks like all one animal....the two original species are way to similar

Not a bad blend, but a pretty obvious idea.

Funny.

The moon would be distorted on the ceiling...it's 2 different planes. The baseboard corners are off.

Nice idea to turn 3 birds into one

There's some room for improvement though, the blending can be better and the parrots head looks a bit small compared to the rest of the body.

The bottom of the wooden baseboard is a bit too light, especially since you have a "shadow line" along the top where it meets the wall - the bottom should have a wee bit of shadow where it meets the floor.

But overall, this is a very elegant and well constructed image. Nice work!

one has to wonder what she is hanging from when its clear she is well into the water where no trees are hanging.
The lighting on the hanging girl is coming straight down where as in the backgroung it looks like its coming from the left of screen.
The girl in the water would not be so bright and would also be smaller, she looks bigger that the rocks behind her in the waterfall, and I only say this because you can see the water base near her legs which is throwing off the size.

the front spider on her lap is at a wrong angle as it is on the "web-net" and not flat on her lap.

somehow, i felt the ninja girl in black should be placed in the bushes, a more assasin-like fashion, juz a suggestion

Very mysterious image!
Just one thing: you cut model's right elbow...

The jumping salmon is very crudely extracted, with very sharp edges and a noticeable outline from the original background.

The contest source cloning you did for the bear is likewise quite crude and repetitive in patterning for the chest and stomach. The direction of the "fur" looks sideways, rather than vertical, which makes the cloning job look even worse.

The "pendulous breast" highlights between the chest and belly are non-existent in real bears. They don't have two breasts that weight would emphasize like that.

This is a good concept, but you need to be better aware of what you are attempting to render. Perhaps looking at some grizzly bear images would help. You also need to put a bit more effort into "seamless" cloning that is not so obvious, as well as taking more time to extract images with a bit more care so they do not look so harshly "cut and paste."

You might also consider cropping at least 1/3 of the empty blue sky off the top. It adds nothing to you image except too much dead space which detracts from your focal point, the bear.

very good effects! Congrats!

Congrats on 2nd, well done.... : )

CONGRATS!!!

The elephant doesn't work well, but this image is very dramatic and attractive.

Your entry inspired me to abandon mine, LOL - I had the same idea of leaves on a plant, and even my color choices are the same on my very similar flowers. Oh well. I like yours.

Best of luck to you, Author!

l like this

just a suggestion, please make a blending of the wall towards the ceiling, now looks like two separate items pieced together....then, it's PERFECT!

Looks amazing, i like the view, perhaps too much roof?

Now it works...good luck author!

Author, look at the Earth. Where is the light from? High right. Where's the light on the foreground rider from? Upper left. So either flip the rider, or flip the Earth. Either way the light source should match.

Good blend. The light on the rider in the foreground is from upper left. Might be good to rotate the Earth to match the light source.

Hi author good entry, just wanted to give you the heads up that sources 1, 3 & 4 requires a credit to the original author you may want to add this as wouldn't want to see your entry to be pulled by the mods. GL

love the mood, good luck!

Interesting/moody/dramatic but I think the near-perfect symmetry of virtually every element is excessive (i.e., too mirror-like) and ends up detracting from the potential impact of the central figure. The contrast of a largely-symmetric central figure situated within a somewhat chaotic environment would be more compelling IMO.

some fade and burn to the water splashes might help for the blend (maybe just blur).. but that is just IMHO.. it's a very inventive chop.. good luck!!!!!!

EDIT: my favorite part is how the face is mooshed into the hands.. it's WONDERFUL!!!!!

Very cool image, I would try to match the lighting of the background image. Seems like the horns and the backs of the horses you used could use some more light from the top of the image, equally important would be shadows from that strong light...good start.

Good work author!!

good job!

awesome mood!!!

neatly done..good luck

oooohhh very nice author, this is actually pretty well blended, i would love to visit if it was real ! lol

The stairs are too oversized...
