This pic is so brilliant. Well done on being honest about the rules - glad it doesn't need resubmitting anyway. Its terrific. I would also love a more in depth SBS so that we can learn and appreciate it even better.

Author, it's very appreciated that you are honest and wanting to replace the entry. The last weeks however the (digital) drawing rules have been losen up *a bit*, to give authors some more freedom.
Soon there will be decided which rules will maintain and which will be removed, until that time people are a bit more allowed to experiment with for example the things you did.
For your case, if you want to edit your entry, you can do it. Resubmitting your work should not be necessary.

This is awesome. Very good work. Not only is this a fantastic work of quality but I also loved the whole idea of it. Specially the wind and flying papers.

Breeze...!!!!

wow

wow

I'd love to see a more detailed SBS for this. Maybe a tutorial?

amazing! good luck!!!

very nice

Incredible! Brilliant idea with the hair.

This is absolutely unbelievably good. I really can't believe how good it is. A MASSIVE well done !

High quality entry, I love the 'unfinished' look of the background.

Well done, I wouldnt have minded to see a bit of color here and there. Good luck!

Very nice, like something you would see in the book. Great detail, well done.

OH wow. beautiful details in this drawing.. very impressed, im not sure i can even draw anymore. You have just inspired me to give it a go

Excellent, I love it!

Congrats!

It's much better now, good luck!

I don't know... wouldn't it be the main subject in the compo? Anyway, nice work, author!

Leaves, rocks, the whole landscape is perfect! Just a question: did you leave the skull a little blurry on purpose?

I dont know if this is of any help to you :

right above the top pocket the picture gets cut off and above that its pitch black ill make you a sample.

on my sample, the red line shows excactly where the picture is cut off. everythign above the red line is black

nice composition... some of the execution needs work though. The pool table is abruptly cut off at the top. I can tell that you were attempting to have the image fade out by that point, but it didn't quite make it. I can still see a very hard line at the top, and it slices right through the middle of the corner pocket of the pool table. just crop your image to this line and you should be good. Keep practicing with your lighting and fading...

very fun image, unique and different good luck

I aggree this needs to be seen in high res to be able to read the words well. very nice entry

I like this, well done.

wow very beautiful!

Very clever use of source!

I really love it! It kind reminds me of a really old game where the sky was colourful and the foreground black, including the hero.

At first I was thinking someone uploaded a photo to the wrong contest, but wow, was I wrong, how cool is this creation, well done.

Very good idea for use of the source. In hi-res there are a few obvious straight crop lines, otherwise well done!

Very nice effect, but the shadows on the vines are too dark in comparison to the rest of the image. They are almost black compared to the shadows of the bricks they are attached to. If you lighten them just a bit, they will look a bit more realistic.

Reminds me of those chalk drawings a few talented artists do. Nice work on the rocks, author.

Lotta work! I think I'd make the left edge of the foreground rocks & the ground by the girl's feet sharper. GL author!

the people should of been blended better just a bit more, the colors of the men seem cooler than the image itself.

Yes, it really should be viewed in Hi-Res!
Godd work!

Yes, this looks much better. Good luck

Nice, but I agree with MossyB... need to lower your greens some

A bit too much of a color cast, it has a hard green tint overlying the wonderful natural color of the squash, but the photo itself, sans the plasticy, artificial color is wonderful!

Interesting how/why the background shot has the sides skewed inwards. Very nice work on your 'anomaly' - the folks in the background appear puzzled by it, great find and chop!

very interesting and creative work .. GL

Nice color work on the object. Blends nicely with your great find for a background source.

Very Burning Man good luck author

Nice... I like the little girl going through. Wish you could see the top of the arch, though

I know that place...I was there last summer, simply a wonderful area...well done author

lovely

Good work!

Very Good work!

I am pretty sure this is a hand.

nice
