Congrats on the 2nd place

Congratulations Loyd...good work!

This is a Great image don't get me wrong, But this contest is not about that. To me it looks like a 60s airline magazine ad. looks painted and not realistic. Also the contrails don't come out the engine they tend to form a ways back from them as the engines exhaust cools. It is still a beautiful image.

Excellent work, for me your best!! Great colors and drama!!

nice shine on the rocks. gl

Lovely entry. The integration and colors are well done.A lovely addition is the lights on the wing tips.

Beautiful, love it... Nice colors and composition. Good luck!

super nice image,

That's OK, for next time: if you go here: http://www.pxleyes.com/my-contest-entries/ there's a "set sources" button.

better!

Nice. I would make the rings in the shadow a touch brighter...it might not be physically accurate but at the moment it's very hard to see that they're there at all.

My two cents: nice work, my eye is disturbed by the fact that the blimp seems to line up with the bridge in such a way that, at first glance, it almost looks as if it's part of it.

Clients often want their logo redesigned, I've done many new and redesigned logos myself. I saw this as a new logo design. The name has a rainbow of colors which can be associated with a pixel image, the tag line is incorporated into the design. This makes for a totally new logo concept and works well because of the high visibility. The overall image has the feel of a random snapshot which adds to the believability of the entry IMHO. Very nicely done author!

The blimp that you made using 3D Studio Max is very realistic. Given all the control that artificiality gave you over your final image, I have a couple of concerns, however.

Content: If I owned pxleyes, I would want to advertise it with my logo, not random rainbow-colored text.

Composition: Having both the blimp and the bridge mid-ground is kind of boring, made more so when the blimp blocks the view of the bridge. Moving the blimp to the upper-right foreground (thus making the blimp much bigger) leaving 95% of the bridge visible would be more dramatic IMO.

Nice blend of a 3D program and a source photo, GREAT JOB!

As I said it before.... congrats for the effort and a good work.!

There you are.....! Congrats for first and second..... nice work my friend.

Congrats again Loyd!!

Congrats Loyd, well done!!

Excellent composition & integration of sources! Great 'old-timey' feel!! Love the 'Wisconsin Dells' reference, and this entry looks EXACTLY like what a lot of those ads look like around here. A lot of businesses have these posters up. WELL DONE!

Amazingly realistic! Looks like a photo of a poster. Excellent creation of tone, texture, and color!! Awesome blend of the mule.

Nice poster quality....believable and well done... good luck author.

Eggzactly!

This contest is bringing the best for this week. Good job! Good thinking... Good luck!

Good 'un!

Very fun. The image focuses on headgear which is a rather narrow interpretation of apparel IMO. I don't get the triple brand references to Johnnie, Oskosh, and Captains.

Great...finally something on theme!

Excellent blend! Seriously had to look at the sources to find which was the model....BOTH!...dang!

Lovely color and well blended!!

High marks for convincing factor; I can hardly tell which one is the model. Artistic composition is a little lacking IMO but that’s just me.

Maybe decrease the opacity of the shadow a tad, otherwise it's a convincing image. GL author.

Love it, it's colorfull, it's funny... it's creative... GL

Really realistic render, i like it

Nice composition! GL...

Excellent coloring and contrast. However, the whale looks almost as detailed at the objects in the foreground. Makes him appear tiny. If he were a softened a touch, he would appear to be more distant.

Congrats

Congrats Loyd!!

Congratulations Loyd!

Congrats!

Congrats Loyd ... yes please

Congrats Loyd nicely done

Congrats Chappy

I believe that the surreal is not necessary to use all the rules.
this is a great surreal
bravo

whoa.... impressive.

Congrats, Loyd. Beautifully done!

Each piece should still be proportional to the square it is on...that's just basic chess.
