balloon color to change to match overall color scheme
strings not strong enough to hold balloon, change to ropes?

nice idea

Congrats Matteo terrific work

Maybe it's just me but the balloon feels a little low compared to the water... I can foresee an imminent and dramatic crash on the horizon...

Oh and on the subject of the balloon and basket being 'out of proportion' I think it probably looks better this way than if they were not scaled down to the baby. Now do feel free to ignore this if it becomes pretentious but a full size basket would give the idea that it was being seen by an adult and that the baby was out of place or intruding for comic effect. Whereas a smaller basket kind of gives the impression that it is being seen by the child, in its own world, and that the basket is specifically for it, not adults. I warned you it would become pretentious...

Reminds me of the song with the line 'carry moonbeams home in a jar...' - guess it's in the basement while you look for a suitable jar! lol

The lighting is too inconsistent and wonky, from the intentional glow edges, which just look like a bad extraction, to the totally black balloon, showing no light refraction/reflection from the strong light source of the sun.

The "shadows" from the totally black balloon lines also look very unrealistic, and not in a good fantasy way.

While an SBS would help the view recognize which poor chopping effects are deliberate, this is still an image that needs work, either to look more realistic, or more fantasy. At present, it just looks very novice, especially for a photoshop competition, IMHO.

Might have been easier to make a SBS explaining that, then...??

Ballon & basket are out of proportion. Too many white edges on child & balloon.

nicely done..great creativity also..i think the textures u have here work very well with your image..GL author

If the average brick is 9" wide, this is a 27" moon. Oh wait, these bricks may be as big as 24"...that would make the moon 72".

Interesting idea, but the inconsistent lighting and side shadows are hurting it, visually.

You have a "glow" around the moon, yet it can't seem to even reach the top or sides of the chamber encasing it...Perhaps if you feathered it out further, it would help appear more as part of its surroundings.

The side vignette shadows from top to bottom just looks like an uneven attempt to shine a dim spotlight down on the scene. If you try toning those down, especially as you descend down the image, you will achieve a much more effective visual movement to your main focal point, the moon.

The moon also looks a bit too black and white for its brick surroundings. Color refraction would impart at least a very slight warm tint (3-5%) to it.

Great choice of images and very nicely blended --- glow on the moon is nice -- one small thing is the edge between the wall image and the soil might look a bit better if the line between then was a bit more defined -- more of a cross section effect (IMHO)

NICE IDEA, Author!!

oh cool , like this one also.

Very cool !
GL

congrats!

Congrats!!

Congrats.... man

Congrats!

Congrats

congrats for the 3rd place....

Congrats Matteo !!!

Congrats for third.....!

Great work.

It's up to you but if it was me I would move the M to the right until I got rid of the little sliver of red. That way the M would take on the edge of the red......If that makes sense.

wonderful entry

Very interesting with the whole field on the bun idea. Good Luck Author.

Very cool and technically good work but this become a bit boring, trees on the cheeseburgers, umbrellas, turtles, boots, small planets, elephants, books and so on and on. U are great chopper author try to get out from the mood box that u created. Don't get me wrong, i always give high marks to your entry's but would be cool more artistic evolution.

Good job!.... Good luck!

so milk is free with burger ha..lol great idea

Very nice composition ^.~

Great composition, GL!

the light is very good, but it seems to me that the burger is floating... maybe a little more shadow... the rest is good... good luck

I don't see any industry here...

oh lord.. hehehehe, great idea

Great work author! You have a very unique style and I guessed that it would be you :P GL
IMO i would darken the bottom of the burger a bit or somehow soften it because it doesn't look like it's on the ground.. I mean it does look like it is a lot but it could even more I think :P Good luck

hey, i used that stock for dreams in black and white... woot! http://www.behance.net/gallery/Dreams-in-Black-and-White/287900
