Nice

..woahh.... incredible

Very nice!!

This is great!!! Good job!

Interesting take on the image, good job

cool

..interesting.. good luck!

Finally some imaginative entries in this contest!! good work!

This looks very nice, but my suggestion would be to blur the background, only slightly, that'll create the illusion of a close-up. good luck!

Nice image, i think you need to work a little more on matching the colours and the contrast, the sky and the ocean have a lot of punch, and the actual foreground just looks a bit flat. Good luck!

Haha cool!! nice job and good imagination!

I really like this, but i have major OCD and i notice that the blood splatter on the right hand wall is a little off perpective.. it probably doesn't matter, so i don't think it will be a problem Good luck!!

kewwwll!!! Very nice!

Very nice!! Good job, maybe tone down the outer glow a little bit, but the final image looks great!

Interesting!! Good work!

Awesome job!! That smoke is very nice!!

lol GolemAura.. the little hand thingy?? :p Nice idea author, good job

Interesting idea, it's really nice. the only problem i'm seeing with it is the outer glow on the bell on the left, it looks too unnatural for me, but the rest of the image is great, and the colours are awesome,so good job and good luck!!

Nice change!! looks good!!

Wow!! SUper!! this is great! Look at those shoes xD.. very nice work!!

Very creative use of source, but i agree with CMYK, a background would be nice

edit: very nice!! it looks great!

Nicely improved!! good job

Awesome xD

Good job, i really like the fins!

I'm so sorry this didn't get a higher rank, i guess people just weren;t looking at the step by step guide, but i'd like to mention how awesome this entry is, i have to admit, i didn;t see anything special about it until i looked at all the hard work you put in ont his.. it's fantastic, and as long as you know that much 12th place will seem like 1st.

It's a little strange, but it works. Good job

I agree with Elficho and bddesign, a displacement map would look really good here. good luck!

Hmm, try using the right eye instead of the left eye because the fruit is slanting slightly to one side.. or maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks on me :S oh well, Good luck

hmm.. very interesting image, good work!!

Ahh okay that makes sense, sorry about that

Hmm i agree with elficho on this, it doesn't look like an evening scene, it just looks washed out. Try finding some tutorials for changing day into night. Good luck

Very interesting take on the image, i hope it plays out well for you

Very emotional piece, but i don't understand why it's been duplicated again underneath? It's not a big deal though.. your emotion really comes through here. Good job, and keep your chin up.

Woahh Super!!!

this dude is hilarious!! the detail on the laughter lines... SUPER!!! Great job and good luck!

Nice idea, but you can;t make out her facial features because of the amount of fruit on her face, i'd try changing the layer style to Overlay or soft light, and use a displacement map of the woman to distort the fruit into shape. Good luck!!

Very, very nice, maybe try adding some more shading on her neck, it's looking a little flat, but other thn that - great image!!

I agree, it does look like it's been painted on, i'd to try work on that. It's a good idea though, so Good luck!!

I think we have a winner

I agree with Nellista, but i do like the entry. Good luck!

Very nice job.. it sells well!! xD Good luck

This is very nice, i especially like the winter and the summer, the spring really doesn;t call out at me too much, it seems a little simple, but the rest of the image is very nice, and it's a great use of the source. Good luck

very nice use of the source, but hummingbird wings beat about 25 times a second, you should try blurring them to illustrate that, maybe some motion blur? Good luck

I think you should work a little bit harder on the blending between the beak and the mouth, it seems like the colours are too different. Good luck

edit: the change you made makes it much more different than the source, which to me makes the image much better. Good job

Good job
