I agree totally with jawshoewhah, i would reconsider the entire image. The smudging breaks up the smoke texture and so it really doesn;t look much like anything. Try working with shadows and also how the light from the explosion would affect the background... good luck.

Looks a bit simple to me. Good luck!

wonderful!

if it's your own image then make sure you post it on your Step by Step guide.

You thought about the image well.. the only problem i think would be with copyright issues, perhaps just change one letter or change it to Sumsang.. good luck!

Excellent

I like the mood of the image, did you use any other sources? I would also remove the type and the border.

The snowboarder looks extremely distorted. I also suggest trying to match the colours of the two objects.

Nice work! Good idea and well executed.

The background looks quite distorted, when scaling objects in photoshop remember to hold the Shift key to maintain proportions.

Great image! I think erathion means that the moon link leads to another image, but you're a reputable author so i'm sure it's just a mistake. Wonderful mood, great lighting and great imagination, author!

Lovely image.. great reflections and a nice atmosphere. Good luck!

Great blend. Perhaps you should upload High Resolution. Good luck!

The wrist looks a bit thin to me, but the rest is excellent! Great, GREAT job!

Edit: I have to keep coming back to look at this!! Really well done entry.. the attention to detail shows a lot of skill... Good luck

I like the disintigration effect, and i also like how you made those awful render clouds look good! I really like this entry. (Perhaps tone down the white streaks a bit?) Good luck!

I think the shadoe is very unnatural, and the repetition in snow patches is obvious, even in low resolution, i suggest working on those.I would also suggest adding a bit of motion blur to the snow

I love the creativity, but i do agree with CMYK's comment. It's still a nice image. (Next time try using a gradient overlayed onto the cuts in the torso to give the impression of depth instead of just a solid black colour.) But you're still getting high marks from me!

It's an original image, and i think you transformed the source quite well, but i also think that it looks very two dimensional, and it's very difficult to make out any objects. Try adding shadows and highlights and depth to the bridge, and good luck.

I really love the kind of crazy feel of this image... really thought provoking. Great job!!

I agree with both comment, but nice attempt.

Very realistic rain.. great job!

This is in NO WAY too graphic... great entry :P

Make sure you mention the tutorial you used.

I agree, but to me taht doesn;t really matter. Well executed, and right on theme. Good luck.

Excellent fix.. well done

Beautiful.

Shadows seem missing under the flamingos, but really nice work with all other subtle details.

Some shadows seem a bit dark, maybe blur them a little more as well.

Very nice and on theme... good luck.

I agree with Jawshoewhah and i think Raytedwell's suggestion of adding a flame would really change this image for me. I'll hold my vote for now.

Nice work.

Great entry, and nice to see you back, author

Very nice entry, i suggest maybe blurring the shadows that the feet are casting on the sofa a bit more and maybe reducing the opacity. Good luck

It looks great in high resolution, nice shadows and lighting. Maybe the tentacles should cast a shadow on the body too. Good luck.

Very nice

Creative and original... THANK YOU!

I really like this, i think it's a wonderful and powerful image. I would personally follow Annabat's advice, but even if you don;t you have a great image here. Good luck

Hehe It's a great entry, congratul;ations on your 5th place

Very nice! Very realistic!

Great job, nice lights and shadows... a very calming entry. Good luck!

Very nice entry, however the shadows under the coconuts seem way too dark..the roof is amazing though! Good luck

Good job on the nostril, the liquifying was done very well. Good luck. (Perhaps another background? sand dunes, egyptian pyramids?)

Awesome entry!

This is great! Really good job!

Amazing work... well done!

Good job around the face and i really like the wool. The legs to me seem a bit simple, but still.. good luck!

Super moody.. good luck!

Nice!

Yup, very dark, it;s hard to make out any detail, but good luck.

Beautiful entry.
