Soften the edges of hair where it meets the flesh and you'll have something really nice.

Doesn't look to happy to me. Nice job!

Agree with gornats...perhaps lower the reflection strength and then brush away furthest point of reflection more. Nice job!

Depending on where this image was taken from...if it was from Nasa website then it's public domain. So no worries, if it was lifted from a blog page or something then it may not be useable.

Creative use of source image. Though never been a huge fan of magenta and orange together...nice job!

Agree with notion that the 'tubes' in negative don't really help this image. If you must have them in there, try giving each some dramatic lighting or each have their own glow of a sort. Like the tubes on either side of face though!

Great entry...superb SBS.

Nice job! Small suggestion...don't have the shadow follow the contour of the small statue. Perhaps have it rest more flat on the surface. It would also be more behind it since the light direction looks to be front/top. Nice job, good luck!

EDIT: Looks much better, author!

A conflict of lighting, but it IS a beautiful image and very nice interpretation.

Really fits theme beautifully. Strong and poignant entry! Beautiful song and very connected image!

I would remove the artifacts in upper right of image. Good job, author!

Disturbingly good!

Nice job! I like the color and the power of this willed indian!! Why not save a high resolution version? NEXT!

Can't really improve an already wonderful face, but you did a great job, author!

Perhaps a tight shadow around where the hand meets the cane. Good job, otherwise!

EDIT:

Can you blame him? Good work, author...but your background image seems very low resolution. If you were able to get a higher res file, it would help this greatly.

Very well done, author! Remember and like this very much, but thought maybe you could give this cute bear a shadow and possibly vary the brightness of eyes and nose to make more random. Great job

Love it! Excellent job author!

Some great entries here including this one!!

Love that you avoided the obvious part of the source image!

Really like this. Perhaps brighten this with a bit more saturation and it'll be really great!

Interesting change! I like the way you're thinking here, but the 'Gucci' area looks cut and pasted. It doesn't blend with the other areas. See if you can make the 'Gucci' brick area work better with the rest of it. Good job!

EDIT: Ooh yeah, baby! Great!

Nice job...but I'm looking for the packaging per contest guidelines.

EDIT: Not a problem. Good job. I might add your English seems very good.

I like the white background. It doesn't exhaust the image with color and focus.

Interesting use of source. Can I suggest that you fill in the front grille area with either dark shaded color or something other than the flooring peeking thru. Good work!

Nice work, author! Really nice lighting and effects.

Try and fix the highlights on the eyes. Highlights such as these will always be from the same direction. Right now they are flopped. Nice job! Like the lighting of this!

EDIT: Looks better! Nice job!

How 'bout a high resolution version...Really like this! Nice job!

EDIT:Thanks for the high res. Looks great!

Really nice, author! Made me smile. Perhaps you could add more strings...some thinner to better represent the huge amount of balloons showing. Nice job!

Though I truly love the image and respect the work you've done on this...Contest guidelines: "Make your image as realistic and believable as possible!" This really doesn't fall into this guideline. Great job though!

I really like the look of this. Besides what CMYK said...maybe make the light from the right side a bit warmer.

A bear bunny with meat feet. Yikes. In my opinion you might be better off softening all the edges a bit. This would help.

This could have been used with nearly any source. I like the outcome though.

The distorted surroundings really add to this great piece!

This is really beautiful and wish it fit this contest, but sadly it does not. I really like the the expression of hilleke in this.

Pop the contrast and color more...and this will really shine.

I really like this!

Well done! Fun to see all together!

I like this! When I view closely in high resolution...the texture inside the word 'OBEY' seems like it could be softened a bit or blurred. Right now it seems kind of sharp compared to the actual image wall. Just my opinion though... Really like the stained areas below the letters. .

I remember this! Love it! Really like the monochromatic with red feel!

Nicely done!

This is really pretty work! Completely eye pleasing!

Interesting use of source here, author. Maybe soften the edges of the elements here and . Good job!

I like the atmosphere you've created here, author!
