Surprised this didn't place higher.. still a GREAT job

this is lovely .. congrats

Congrats!

Don't worry about it.. do it only if it works.. if you mess it up I'll give you a right SMACK BOTTOM (Shrek Reference) hehehe

Initially I wasn't quite sure what the message was here.. but upon review I realized it's the guy leaping out of a mommy's tummy into death.

The other message I got at first was a delinquent dad abandoning his responsibilities. (I didn't realize it was a graveyard at first so I was a little like YIKES.) The first impression was a guy leaving his preggers girlfriend (after stepping on her belly) to the sin of the city (I thought the cemetery was an allegory to metropolis) .. with a very very very long leg..hehehe

That's what's so wonderful about this entry, it really makes you think. A LOT! hehehe... good luck author (Oh yeah, the work is MARVELOUS)

Just a little suggestion (DON'T MESS IT UP, IT's JUST FINE THE WAY IT IS) but only if you think it's worth your time. Just gently GENTLY arch her neck with puppet warp so she's looking at him and not just the sky. It is not important, but I think it would add to the overall balance. GOOD GREAT LUCK!!!

Congrats!!

hehehe.. NOT something you would want to wake up to if you were staying on the 5th floor hehehe... The hotel staff would be crushed.. hehehe.. neat idea .. good luck author

ok...first of all try to find another sky source (this one is very grain) but if you like this one make it softer (in this kind of pic it works ). Second try to blend more the sky with the hand (it is a fantasy pic ) and third try to do rays more visible.

Head slap! It was just the saturation wasn't equalized. IT'S A ZILLION times better now. I always keep my saturation at full tilt because I can't see very good so of course I couldn't figure it out (I only figure it out playing with levels and when I see improvement I stop). It's much more stable now and you got rid of the "Floaty" feel.. Great job and good luck!

Fun image author. Do you think it could be improved by doing something that would pull it all together? It feels a bit choppy. Not a bad thing, but it just seems that the characters are floating off the image. You did an INCREDIBLE job with the lighting and blurring, but it still feels choppy. I'm thinking of an equalizing filter over the whole thing or maybe a overlay with a soft texture? IT'S ONLY A SUGGESTION, this is great as is, but I'm just thinking of the overall feel. Good Luck!!!

You blended the images pretty good, the result looks like a dream. The brownish color gives a magical effect to your work.

you're welcome and yes.. trust him , he is a professional GL

nice chop. good choice of images, works well with the source .

nice chop. But he did not turn it of at the mains. the hole then springs a leak ??? Adds to the chop.. "What happens next?"

i like the pastel bubbles, nice colour choice.

Dat's a LOT a BUBBLES!!! great idea

Good job blending the different sources I think the brown coloring is a good idea, it combines the different sources; it's just to saturated IMHO.

CLASSIC!

Nice job, congrats!

LOVE the alignment great blending
