probably not good that it shows where this photo came from

yum!

my favorite

they seem too small

cute

I dont understand the end of the tunnel and why it seems people are halfway through the glass. Awesome other than that

okay, I wasn't sure

cute

awesome image!

very nice!

neat

YIKES! Spray on tan? LOL

I think to make this really pop, you should put a few tiny rays and sparkles coming from the diamonds--ya know how they cast a ray when the sun hits them?

VERY CUTE!

wonderful wonderful wonderful! awesome!

because the totem is so clear and looks very close, I would blur the background more to make it look like a focused photo. nice job!

this looks great now!

I would get rid of the lamp also. maybe a small jar candle in front or something, but the lamp isnt working.

BTW author, good job. The chop would be nice without the rays. Are you going for a window effect?

Jeez! CMYK46 is just trying to help. The more realistic the better right? I would want people to point out my mistakes also. If one chooses to change it or not is the author's decision but it is good that CMYK46 is trying to help make the chop more realistic or correct.

would the outside water make the inside reflection look distorted? It looks as if the water is on the inside. I don't know for sure--was just curious.

wow, until I really examined the SBS, I would have thought you traced from the reference pic. GREAT JOB!

maybe it feels good to be eaten by a tree CMYK46 some people find pleasure in odd things ;o lol lol lol

If you tell us what you are trying to make, maybe we can tell you how to get the results. As of right now, it looks like a dog coming out of snow with blood around it. What were you trying to achieve?

why does the bird look like it is pasted on there? the underside of the bird is so light.

after looking a bit though, I do see one thing that could have been different. The man with the gun is see through also. Still, this shot is cool!

now this is pretty awesome!!!

neat idea

awesome

very nice. I didn't even realize that the skin was texturized with the bark until my son told me it was.

I think your chop was the best at step 8. Just step 8 is a powerful image. The animals and such just made it too much. The other tree on the left is good there though.

wow! very nice!

I would definitely keep your first one in the contest and withdrawl this one--my own opinion

"Don't submit an entry with the same "subject/object/scenery" more than once - this includes the same contest or any of the other contests current or future. Even over-using the same subject, location or titling should be avoided to preserve your anonymity." per rules and guidelines.

Actually author, I was wrong, sorry. I thought gaussion blur and duplicated layers was not allowed but it is. But I think the point is that it was altered a little too much maybe. I don't know.

this is awesome! It truly reminds me of a Thomas Kinkade picture. My jaw has dropped in awe! I would love to put this on my desktop!

very cute but I agree with friiskiwi, read the guidelines on how far you can alter your original photo

This is so funny! It looks like he's smiling big with teeth!

Amazing!

wonderful!

spectacular!!!

great imagination!

I love how you made the branches look shiny

jawshoewhah, as long as he has his sources noted, he doesn't have to make an SBS (unless things have changed since I've been gone)

Oh my gosh this is so cute!

I agree with chaplain. I like this but the shadow isn't right.

this reminds me of The Titanic

nice job

I would deform some of the fur so it looks like the fur is floating in the water.

nice
