its beautiful

lol

Fantastic cute work author...I like the in-perfection of wings and their great pose...best of luck author

Haha Mikael, I don't let little details like the fact that she's recently married, or on the other side of the world bother me!

I couldn't ever date a girl who's lens was bigger than mine though.

^ Something is going on here. Gneheh

I agree with Mos- this is cute, though. I'm sure it's the first step to something like this:

I'm always here fer ya Ray! Just like you've always been for me!

Your wings need to be consistent in size. On both figures, the wings on the left are larger than the wings on the right...

Agrees with Ray

Cool, missed that detail - thanks for the catch Amanda! Nicely done author.

I was wondering too but then I saw the colors of the polish in the turn knob of the the lock. Pulls it into the theme to me.

Good find, this is very nicely done.

Clear shot with a nice focus, but is that a padlock in the background? Can you tell us how that fits the image... what's the story you're trying to tell?

A nice attempt, but for me the focal point is not the part that stands out on the page and draws the eye (that being the large text at the bottom of the screen). A little larger area of focus might be nice too (imo of course)

congrats for the 1st place

congrats.. wel deserved first place

Congrats...

Congrats lovely work

Nice one...gl

Nice entry! GL!

very nice

lookin sparklingly beautiful...

very nice work author,very delicious...good luck

This one really sparks the imagination ... sorry could not resist ... great concept.

Funny image but imo could be funnier if ie in image 3 you'd see the match being all surprised (arms up, legs jumping) or if dekwid's suggestion was used. Good luck!

Sorry to tell you this but in the contest guidelines it specifies, "No humans and animals are allowed in your shot." Sorry.

Magic shell-boat

good imagination, black color around the shell can be removed

Very very nice entry with great message...best of luck author

LOL...very nice work author...extra points for humor

Very nice work author...good luck

Hahahaa...soo fun!

i like it ,good luck

I wondered if that is what you were going for ...it does create an interesting look ... window looks great

That's really nice

haha..............great idea

Now this is different, great find.

great shot

i like this!

hehehe,.....simple but meaningful,.....nice entry,......Just IMO : why didnt you make the burnt match is touching its burnt head to show that it got disappointed for being too much thinking.........

Amusing. If all four are supposed to be the same 'guy,' then they should all have the same legs. Also, the reflections are inconsistent as well.

Wonderful idea ... like the old woman in the shoe!

Just a few suggestions; it could use a little clean up in the cutting especially in the sky area and ,although I kind of like the effect the dark edging around the shell makes, it does look a bit like it is sinking into the clouds. Also possibly a shadow for the open window?

I like the idea.

nice colors

Everything looks good except where the bent pole meets the straight pole. It's all smudged up! Just make a selection of the pole and use the stamp tool to bring down the texture. Good luck.

As Ade said - a bit of fill flash would have helped this shot IMO

I think it works better with a lot of the sky cropped, about 1 or 2" above her head

Nice, but I think a closer crop would help it

Remarkable!
Have you tried to crop the ground so as only to have sky & jumping guy^

great capture, just a shame your 'model' is a little dark.
