The lighting is a bit too inconsistent, expecially the ground near the girl's feet. With such a bright light shining on her, she would not be standing in a pool of shadow...

The horizon is very smoothly blended with the sky, although the topmost clouds look a bit "swishy," rather than cloud-like.

Your images always have unique mood, congrats on your third place Matteo

very nice image, refreshing to see a snail instead of a fairy lol got my vote.
Your background is beautiful as well author

Lovely - congrats!

Congrats!

Comgrats - great image!

Lovely image - congrats on third place!

I like the effects on the image, the glow of it is very welcoming.

its a darker emotion than i expect...and the brighteness surrounding the girl is really ethereal. i like the feeling, even though its a heavy weight, you've effectively moved the viewer.

good luck.

The texture of this image is simply lovely. Nicely blended author.

Excellent!

This is really precious

Nice mood...gl

you are so good ,but the winges need some work
good luck

Love this ... a surreal quality that is just right! Great!

Turtles and elephants ... mmm, now where have I heard that before LOL ...

Very thoughtful!!! Seriously, quite nice!! GL

Lovely mood. I'm not sure about the teensy leaves -- or are those just giant mushrooms with a near-human-size fairy? The single-wing-fairy source is kind of weird. (The dorsal fin of a shark comes to mind.) Butterflies certainly rest with their two wings together, but those wings aren't lacy as here so we can't know if they perfectly align as they apparently do here. In any event, it is customary to expect a fairy to have a pair of wings. One option would be to make a copy of the wing and position it behind and to the right of and slightly lower than the current wing as if it were attached to her far shoulder blade. Some brightness or hue adjustments might be necessary to make the two wings distinct from each other. Another option would be to replace the wing with a set of wings from a new source.

LOL...improve the image...add another wing! (It's a pretty sucky source, at least as far as the single wing goes).

Extremely beautiful work. From the lighting to the composition it is a really wonderful creation. Truly worthy of praise!

Author, are you really content to just leave it that way?

The wings need a lot of work.
(Actually right now there's only one wing...).

Nice work = )

Edit :
Nice!!
btw if You want You can fallow Langstrum's tut....Step 7 - at the end see that loop is set to forever ..just little sbs enhancement

Nice, but resolution of mushroom is too low for the rest of the image.

beautiful image author...and lolz Ray i got that one...it really shud go for a walk with a turtle :-P gud luck author

While I agree with ramsesje that this does not match the example tutorials, I nevertheless believe this does conform to the contest's simple directive to create a little planet with no constraint as to the means for achieving that. (Tangentially, being the prince of such an arid planet is not very appealing.)

Very nice work author...as always fantastic mood...GL

totally fantastic mood...very positive image...best of luck author

beautiful work, love the colouring and the different use of source image

interesting image author, well put together

beautiful image author...

Sorry, not enough meaningful use of the source...that could easily be a bird from anywhere. Then the source wouldn't matter.

Nice little planet. Just for a prince
