Well done Author

Terrific work ! IMO, you could darken image a little using curves, but im saying that just because I like dark images, Good luck !

author i think once check the image.. all r gud but near starting of wings u just burned the fish than it look like this is not artificial...
and
bottom of water where lit ends fish had reflection... so give shadow
and
once again check the shadows in the whole image....

Maybe a bit more refraction in the water as light rays change when traveling throw different mediums air to water/ air to glass you will get a change in the direction of light and some distortion. Will add more realism to the image. plus the shadow on the underside of the fish should run its full length

Some very nice work here, going by the amount of light in the scene I think that the elephants shadow would be a lot more evident than it is at the moment........

Very nice!

I like the expression of the elephant! It must be happy to be "compact"!

Nice blend! Might be good to use similar values to the original background pic so the elephant pops more.

great work.. it looks gud...
i feel this is the best image in this contest
but
fish needs some shdows near wings
other wise

Good colours, good depth and great job on the jellyfish and fish fins... The image look great, author. But you really need to organise your layers palatte :-P

Very good work

Haha! Great thinking.. very nice, clean work!

K... Now gud great and it's seems very very nice

GREAT!!!

Wonderfully eerie mood, nice work, author!

Great work, this is really looking good. GL

Author... Nice thought and too gud...

and 1thing lighting from baby backside na...
so I think baby had shadow rit..
that's the small correction

Lovely entry! Really nice feel

Maybe because of the strong light there should be a more defined shadow, but the entry is great as it is. Wonderful.

A really eerie atmosphere, great work, well done.

Aww, nice - thanks for using my stock in such an interesting way!

Nice image! Great mood too…. have a couple of suggestions for improvments the crow looks to desaturated to me maybe want to take a look at that. and the scale of the scare crow looks a little too big to my eye,especially when you compare the base of the tree and the piece of wood holding the scare crow up ( that’s a big bit of wood)

This is really creepy! I'm wondering myself walking through a foggy forest and suddenly facing a scarecrow with that face...
About ponti's point (floating hat), did you try to reduce slightly the size?

Very good work ! My suggestions would just be to remove the vignette and darken a little. Good luck !

Really good work, looks really scary = )

Nice atmosphere. I personally don't think that the floating hat is very effective here, but i guess that's the whole idea. However, you've blended the images very well.

Edit: On closer look, the lighting between the hat and the tree doesn't match.. just flip the hat horizontally.

Good luck author!

I love Croc shoes too :p

You use a staple gun to keep the pants up? hehehe

Great gllomy mood!

It's a new fairy tail- The ugly duckling and the ugly fish

This sceleton knight is one of a kind

right idea but the background is blurred a bit much

Very interesting, good luck!!

I hope he doesn't loose the shorts, or he'll get... naked! And barefoot!

Love the shorts and eyeballs! Hahaha...author, you made my morning!!

Lovely!

Once I went to full view, for some reason I knew you made this. Only suggestion would be for a sharper eye to match the rest of the body. Good entry regardless. Good luck!

Very nice finish

i love the colors and the mystical feel to the picture!

really nice... add some sbs please

Good mood & color.

Fantastic.

Very good.
