This is sooo cool, just not chrome, and i think that's what's holding it back. Great work on the image it's really awesome.

Reflections are awesome, but it feels to me that it's a bit simple to create reflections and metal in 3D programs. But no worries because simplicity isn;t a factor. great job!

Niceeee, looks really cool!

It doesn't feel like chrome.. to me chrome says really accentuated reflections and really obvious mirroring and distortion. Good luck though!

I think that if you're going to go for a bevel theme, make a really over the top beveled background! :p good luck!

I don't know about this one.. it's a good idea, but it needs something to make it great.. it's missing a captivating factor, and also the clouds need a little more definition. Good luck!

I like the combination of 3D and 2D, it works really well, and this gives off a really nice mood. The only thing i would try to improve is the lamp.. it really doesn't seem like a light source, i'd take it back into photoshop and make it a ittle brighter. Good luck either way!

Very nice image!! Great work!!

That beard is legendary!! xD

You must've put a hell of a lot of effort into this, and the result shows that clearly. Really excellent work, it's really clear what point you were trying to get across and it's just a great image. High marks from me, great work!

i'd brighten up the image a little bit, you can't see the wound too well.

Nice work! Good job!!

You still haven;t removed the ball's reflection from the water, which is a shame because the ball itself is well cloned out.

I'm thinking about the message behind it.. maybe there isn't any, but it just feels like there should. Great work.. looks really cool.

Looks cool, not too much like chrome, i think you need to make your reflections really obvious, but it's a cool effect. Good luck!

Awesome idea, great work on the shadows from the bin. Well done!

I'm scared to enter this contest now!! Great work, nice colours and nice blend. Well done!

I don't really get it, i have to tell you that, but the mood is excellent and the blend is nice, and for that reason - high marks from me!

Really cool effect, i really like the simple background that contrasts everything going on with your foreground. Great work and good luck!

I've always loved images like this!! I'm no good at making them but it's always nice to see them. High marks from me!

fantastically clever way to use the stock image!! Nice!!

Congratulations on first place!

very nice colours! Good work.

Superb!

Very clever, i'd try using the 'match colour' adjustment on the nest and playing around with the fade, your nest doesn;t look like it's blending too well with the background.. Either way it's a very imaginative piece! Good work, author.

Nice work! Really awesome lighting as well, very dramatic! Good job, author!

this is fantastic. And your step by step guide is really impressive! Good work, you should be proud.

The right hand looks a little bigger than the left hand i think.. maybe its just me. Anyways, nice message, and the image has a very nice 'Act Now' type of feel to it. Well done!

Really nice.. i little creepy but no worries

Nice use of the image!, nice dramatic lighting as well!

Really good use of the image, but i think you should follow one particular tree throughout the entire length of the tower, it doesn't look too real if they stop and start so harshly.

Awesome high res! And good reflections!! High marks all around! :p

Good entry! I agree with GolemAura though, a few more slices would be cool. Good luck!

The text is a little distracting, you could try moving it out of the way a bit. Good luck!

Very nice high resolution, and i really like the way it looks. Well done!!

Very powerful image reminds me of Chucky for some reason :p

This is very clever! The pyramids don't look to convincing but the people were relly well made

Nice image, i don't really agree with the sky though.. try using a source sky or a light blue to white gradient

Awesome!! The wings were cleverly made!! Well done, high marks from me!

I've been staring at this one for a little while now and i honestly don't get it! xD No worries, it's a nice image so you shouldn't have any problems :p.

cool.. it looks real!

Nice idea, the selection for me is a little blurry around the outside, but i like the idea, so well done.

Nicely blended, maybe reduce the reflection's opacity. Well done!

Cool!!

Very nice! Good work.

..a little strange, i think that the hand should look a little more cartoony.

this is the best thing i've seen in a looong time! And not just on this site! I've only been here a month!! Excellent work.. i have no negative comments.. and i usually do. And i wouldn't worry about not being able to see the original image.. as long as its in there somewhere it shouldn't put voters off chosing your masterpiece. Again, excellent work. Really well done.

Very imaginative. Good job!

how clever!

Awesome!
