and congrats again Matteo!

congrats Matteo!!!!

Beautiful.

Very nice mood and feel here! GL!

Better than this it's impossible! Except if it's another work of yours, of course...

I got ya. Fits the image well and looks dead sexy. Was just my opinion I hate using outside images myself but think I might mess around mixing some up . G/L author

Indeed, your work definitely has style, and I like that. Another great piece.

I like this a lot it’s a superb idea and the textures really do make the image but and theres always a but.......
What you have at the moment ( texture wise) is a little to overwhelming maybe try a texture with less marks.Or flip the one you have no harm in trying

Great looking image, bit light on the how much of the source you used IMO. good outcome from all the images G/L

I really like this work. Since the texture and final antique coloring are so important to your image, it might be good to add how you achieved them to your SBS. GL

Keep the texture through out, looks like an old picture, well done.

i disagree. it gives a nice grungy feel to the whole image.

This is very good. I like the use of textures , Just a suggestion: Erase the part of texture which is on the sea, your image will look much better if the texture is present only in the sky. GL !

EDIT : Considering elficho's comment, I would say that its up to you to decide

so familiar with this kind of tone,......always great work by you....!

The atmosphere is right there, excellent work.

I like your work... a lot! It's always moody and magic!

you have a way with things...and i love this! i seriously need to learn some of these lighting effects...you create such a mood with your works. GL!

Nice surrealism, just a small nitpicking ;- )
Right now, the snow is kinda flat against the radish (almost perfectly lined up with the surface of the radish). Since snow has dimension and it's not flat, I would draw a bit more snow on top, so it doesn't look like it's a piece of white paper on top on the radish

Very cute work author. Great lighting effect and perfect blending. My fav. too

s author.. Warlock rit..
i agree with him

Congrats....

Another nice piece of work, I know this is nitpicking but what dose it look like if you flip the leafs?
To me it looks as tho the rain is going in one direction an the leafs are being blown in the opposite direction......

Sweet image, nice work on this!

Unmistakable style great looking imagery! That boulder may possible catch more light than it is at the moment......

please tell me about this effect...

Congrats!

Congrats!

Very good. Can you please also post an sbs?

Congrats again!

Matteo, one more wonderful work, one more deserved prize!

Congratulations on the second place, Matteo!

congrats Matteo!

congrats Matteo!

Hmmm, I agree with lchappell about the light on the raven...
I love the colors you use on your works, author, it's simply beautiful and moody...

Dramatic composition........Good Luck Author.

you should check the raven on the hat light is opposite

Very clean work

really nice

cool

cool

Very interesting idea!

it is delicate..and they look like incredibly tiny flowers..one thing..on a shot this close, there is a tiny bit of motion you can see if you focus on the petals...caused a little blur. just being nitpicky. :P

i like the positioning of this shot. the feeling it gives me. the fact you didn't focus on the face of the flowers but aprofile instead. and your point of focus is amazingly clear. it would be lovely in a black frame hanging on my wall!

so cute , my cat do the same all the time =p

so cute , my cat do the same all the time =p

wow! even if this flower has seen its last days, its still an amazing texture. and your d.o.f is quite nice!

Great work author.

Beautiful

Awesome work!

Very cute. I love those little flowers on his head.
