Great mood. IMO composition will be great without left heart.

Edit : Much Better

very nice work and great mood...gl

good work

Like the atmosphere, nice touch.

Love your idea, very creative, gl author.

Nonetheless you still have two horizons... There's one at thw lowest part of the rock where the rippling water ends and there's one a lot higher where the mountains are with their reflections.

Great mood and very nice composition.

Great work author. Nice blending of images .

Well worth it... GL

ooohhhhh dear. i'm enthralled. you've blended and worked the sources so well together. you've captured my full attention. i can't say anything that someone else hasn't already say, except...wow. just pure ..wow.

Fabulous work author...good luck

Very good! Just one last thing, the water kinda spoils the image for me. Try to create horizontal waves in the waters structure, the structure is really weird now. You could do it with the smudge tool, stroking horizontally. And in the front where the water is going over in a waterfall smudge a little vertically so that the water really looks like its transforming into the waterfall. Nice concept anyway! Good luck!

realy cool and lovely

great finish

excellent... gudwork

This is really good. This could be great with a bit more work. The grass should extend the page on the left the same as it does on the top. The grass should also have a sharp edge on the bottom of the book. The water needs a lot of work, it also needs sharper edges where it meets the book and also between the underwater and above water part. At first I really didn't know what the water was, perhaps having the water pour off the page or just adding a duck would help. The shadows need more attention as well. Overall this is a nice entry which will score high, but with some minor adjustments this has the potential to be one of the greats. Good luck!

Wrong balloon reflection I think =) But Really nice work . Good luck =)

Great work author ... Good luck! =) Fav !

hey please author don't take my comments in a wrong way....
i am very impressed by your work...seriously i am...

i just said about the idea that was from a tutorial but it is not certainly a copy of that and you have done much better than that tutorial

just fix some small errors like lighting
and you are on the top of this contest....

my wishes

Very nice idea! Whether it's from a tutorial or not. Just a few things; The grass in front is kinda ugly blurred. Can you keep that as sharp as the grass in the back? Also the blending with the book in the front is a little unsharp. Sharpening the edges around the grass would make it a lot better. Where is the water source, in the middle? In that case why is it white? if it's supposed to be water make it blue and ripple the grass thats in the water Good luck!

Best one I've seen.

Awesome

yes the image you have done is really good
but the idea is not yours
its a tutorial... i don't know but i have seen it somewhere

otherwise good efforts you have put in there author

Holy crap Author! Way to step out of the box. Awesome image and I didnt guess it was you first.

Ok... this is great! and I mean REALLY great. The idea, and composition is... can I say great again?. You have some issues w/ lighting but over all, color me impressed. REALLY original.

great as always......

Great job

Yep, reading can open our minds and grow our imagination!... You really got to show us the meaning of reading good things! Nice entry, author!

awsome!!! ... great inspiration and motivation to try to do something better..

Shoulda known it was you....fantastic work. Beautiful color scheme. Very imaginative and almost "fairy-tale-ish" Is that a real word? You know what I mean!!!

another excellent entry

Absolutelly stunning work,love the mood,colors match so well,blending is fantastic...Congratulations author.

I give high marks for this one, But...... Every time I come back to look at this, that dang reflection keeps jumping out at me. screaming " I'm here and I'm not supposed to be and there's nothing you can do about it". Maybe I'm going crazy! I would really appreciate it if you could replace him with another. Good luck!

ohhh
cmyk46 is right
it has got some errors

i dont have such a keen observation..... great work cmyk46

yes cmyk46 is right
even it looks good but the lighting is taking it down...

Not so great as everyone says. The light source is from behind, but lighting on the tree says light source from the right. The shadow of the tree should be behind and slightly to our left to conform to the light source. Please pay attention, author!

Good concept, but the lighting is off. Parts of the left area of the image are blown out, and there's no definative light source.

Gorgeous

I disagree with the comment about the balloon reflection but that may just be me. This is beautiful....the only issue I have is that there are two light sources hitting the front of the balloon. From what I see, the sun is behind the balloon so this is a little confusing. Great job though!

Congrats!

Congrats!

congratulations!!!

congratulations!!!

Nice mood! But the reflections are of the old source and don't fit this image. As robvdn said, also the balloon wouldn't have a reflection because it's in front of the water. Good luck!

awesome......

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Congrats, Matteo!...

Congratulations and all the best to you!
