Congrats on first place - lovely image!

Great work author...well done author

Amazing work author...instant fav from me...well done

Very creative to change her race, and 'arty' with the camo-colored paint spatters.

I like this... true work of a pro... good job...!

Not sure if you fixed it but it looks pretty on theme to me now ... fascinating work!

Colorful and dynamic! She's a beautiful afro-niponic girl (or nipo-african).

Very well done and what everyone else said!

The skin tone is excellent

This is really cool, you should fix it. I hope you know you can edit your entry up until Friday, from My Stuff My contest entries. CMYK told you what to do, and Mossy ordered you, so just do it man. If you don't it'll be removed when contest is closing.

So fix it!

agree with Becca and CMYK46

Author, I hate to repeat myself, but if you convert your image to CMYK and click off the blue (cyan) channel, you'll see a dramatic difference.

There cant be any brown/grey : /

Good, good, good & convincing

it is realy good work

Yes this is a fantastic entry. Great job.

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i like this Author great job

Oh really? Well that is just great! This would have been a fantastic entry for a very old contest where you had to change the ethnicity of a person. But any, this is still a fantastic entry

I really love what you created, but she looks more frozen than like an ice person. So for the contest, it isn't really fitting, but as a creation, it is really nice. I know thats what other people have said, so it is kind of redundant, but I agree, and just wanted to let you know that it is still nice, just not very fitting.

One of the best in the section for sure...She really have that ice queen look...

I'd have to agree, sorry. She just looks more like an extra in an Alice in Wonderland movie. Nice chop but not really a frozen person, IMO...

Wow, beautiful, and beautifully done. She really does look african! I love the background as well. This is a beautiful image

I am not sure you captured the frozen look here as much as you could have but putting that aside for a minute ... I really like what you have created here. Has an almost surreal feel to her ... fascinating!

Good color work.
(Since the light on the face is from left, maybe shade the headdress thing accordingly...).

Congrats...

I agree with Mossy on the need for some contrast...It would really make her "pop" and enhance the look of her being frozen....Best of Luck

The background is too close to the hair color. Needs more contrast.

Congrats!!

congrats...

Congrats for your third place, Nanaris!

good luck.... it is an interesting work.....

Good things: chick, colors, textures, constrast, proportion, chick, formes.

Not so good things: source not easily enough recognizable, she could have had a window from the shed on her (Dali style) , Symmetry !!! = Makes it less interesting.
You know that short poem about the perfect cube ? It will make sense when you ll read it

Very very nice final result,but SBS for sure have to be more detailed,especially when u do some CBR...good luck author

Great idea! Love the colors and texture

Lovely!

Very expressive image. Well done! GL

this image makes more sense than some of the others, but that is the whole point of surrealism to me..... not making any sense

Well done author, i think it turned out fine

Excellent

this entry is very interesting, an example of doing more talking less ! Gl...

I don't see any problem with this entry, your approach is very artistic, I like it . Surrealism is the way to show the world through the eyes of the artists. I immediately though about the agriculture and the connection between the mankind and the nature, we're just living things as the trees or animals. I like the color, the choice of background and the soil-like things flying from the bottom, nice touch. No need to change anything, good luck author

Wow, that was kind of harsh. I think this is perfect and right on theme. To me she looks like she is trapped, and she's trying to free her self. I love surrealism because it's open for interpretation, and at the very end when you can't see something that satisfies your mind then you don't have to get it, just enjoy the mystery. Well done Author, my favorite part are her roots. =)

I don't get it. Did she fall over after sprouting because she's top heavy?
Is she trying to scoop more mulch over her roots for nutrients? Even under the canopy of "surreal," this is more confusing than thought provoking...
Personally, I don't care for the background. It's too flat with the "photoshop vignette" look to it. When I think "surreal," I think of Dali, with his dreamlike vistas filled with odd and distorted objects.

Wow, .....beautiful!

how can she pick her nose with no arms? hehehe...nice comment...and nice work too...

Author, you need a SBS...what's the source for the tree things growing out of her shoulders where the arms might have been?
EDIT: How can she pick her nose with no arms?

SBS would be good to show how the source was used.
Edit: Maybe some arms, too?

Interesting CBR. Nice colors.

Congrats Nanaris,fantastic work.....well deserved first place...
