Thanks, I do like straight horizons.

Beautiful

beautiful image, but you may want to straighten the horizon.

You need to crop the people out

Nice job! I bet it was quite tedious doing the stones but the stones definitely add to the composition...Best of Luck

I could imagine how long this took you to finish. The shape and the detail are, of course, amazing. I like the movement to it as well.

Congrats man....

Pretty good work here. gl.

it looks so real! great image!

Bravo and well done, convincing result for sure! Good luck!

Great concept for this, and really nice exectution - I guess the former owner of this antique is still in control of it - I'd be as freaked out as the deer!

I get a lonesome feeling looking at this. I like it when I feel something. GL

great one!

I love that you've included what settings you used to make this photo. Good job keeping the clipping down as well (something I have a hard time doing when shooting snow). If you adjust the horizon line to lay flat instead of at an angle I'd say this picture will look even better! That's just personal preference though; it looks great even on its own. GL!

This isn't a close up but that's just IMO...

Fantastic work author...Great hit in the center of the contest goal...small nit pick...car is a bit more on a right side of the road then on left, so light from the car had to be a bit wider on right side...Now they are equal or even wider on left side...This is minor suggestion author,cause image is perfect and all elements are maintained perfectly...best of luck

Didn't mean to be too nitpicky ... It was just when I looked at it in Hi res and clicked to enlarge the image it opened with the window right in my face ... I doubt I would have noticed it otherwise. Just a fluke and of course once I saw it I couldn't un-see it. I really debated even saying anything but it was such a great image that thought it should be perfect! Now it is! High marks from me!

Incredible work ... love the whole composition! Agree about the sign ... great touch there!!! In high res I can see the people from the original image in the car window. Not a big deal but IMO it would look better if they weren't there and would make this a top scoring entry for me!

Excellent work, very good technique!

High res looks good, and the sign adds a good touch of humor...GL author!

speed limit enforced by aircraft (Oh crud).. hehehe.. great idea author.. wonderful use of your own images

Very nice job overall, but those fish are great! Fooled me, too.

Clever idea using the light for a goldfish texture. It's really chopped up a lot but it's still recognizable in your final entry. Great thinking! GL!

Great work and a great sbs! Those fish really worked out very well, like nisha says, they look real..

great job author...really really great

Good work author!!! Good luck!!!

great work on the fish! they look real !!!

very hard work in this.. good luck!!!!

Congrats on your second place Steve, hope to see more entries like that in Pxleyes
