It looks very nice

very beautiful!your image is very realistic, especially the lights and shadows! good luck, author!

perfectly serene. Great job.

very nice imagination author, good LUCK!!!!

I don't get how all of this would be used as a banner on a Web site. The apparent reflection doesn't line up with the 'real text' (so the reflection doesn't look like a true reflection) and I don't understand why the below-the-base-line portions of the 'real text' have been cut off. Furthermore, I would think "pxleyes" should be the most prominent element, not the tag line.

Very nice work author...GL

Sorry to belabor the point, but the reflection is still wrong.

There shouldn't be an apostrophe in "artists". Also, the reflection should be proportional to the type above.

I like it! Very appealing

lovin the 4 glossy buttons on the right of the add! well done (just a thought to add pxleyes.com somewhere!) good luck

Not bad, but the logo straight on a blue background doesnt work well imo. It needs more contrast or you'd hardly be able to see it (while it should be one one of the more important elements in the banner). The icons are ok, I'd recommend a better aligning inbetween the icons. I'm not completely sure about the tagline, since there are also photographers and perhaps they dont see themselves as graphic artists. And well, I'd add a "s" to artist. Good luck!

Very nice work here!

It's quite pretty.. good luck

pretty whacked author,, I love whacked

"with passion of pixel" can mean community with a very small passion , i think you need different phrase
p.s. sometimes this is completely true

It's one good idea.

Besides what mossy said, i don't get why the bevel on PXL seems blurry, i think there's a setting there ( in layer styles) to make it look more solid, if you can't manage to find it, you might wanna solve that manually.
I see some edges are bumpy (meaning not straight) and I don't know if you did it on purpose to make it look older, or they are just masking problems. Don't give up!

Good idea. Wrong reflection. Would be better with a realistic background.

The reflection is off. It looks like it's floating...

I am probably one of the most sensitive people around....even I didn't think MossyB's comment was a "rough criticism" EVEN without smileys! Why should people have to put smileys after a sentence? How about people just think about the many ways the sentence can be construed and pick the most favorable one?! People always think the worst first. I think MossyB said things constructively politically correct!
By the way author, I like the whole image except for the fingers. It looks as though the fingers have been burnt. I'm not sure if that is what you were going for, but it just doesn't look right

Members who suggest how your image could be better are doing you a favor. If you choose to be insulted by their comments, you had better be a genius who can afford to ignore them. In this case you are not.

LOL. I can see the bubble. Yes your work needs a little work author, and Mossy's comments are here to help you. (as are every one elses)

Though she(are you a she Mossy, LOL) tends to sound like a robot, very impersonal, but as greymval said she has no avatar and doesn't use smileys, i would if i knew how

Don't take it to heart.

Keep up the good work, we can only learn from our mistakes and sometimes others guidance.

Author is partially right,Mossy, you always sound way too serious when commenting, that's cause you never use smileys and have no avatar (anti-social written all over ).
Although I honestly dislike when someone points to my mistakes even though they are 100% right (and they even use smileys and avatar), the thing i hate the most is having a low or average score and no one telling me why.
You should be (somehow) glad that Mossy commented and believe that she has no hidden interest in making you feel bad. And she was pretty much right, so..if you have time, you could try to improve your entry.

It's an obvious technical flaw, and I pointed it out.
Comments are just that. I commented on what I observed, which is incorrect light reflections on your bubble. Whether or not you choose to agree, or get hurt feelings is YOUR response, which I have no control over.
This is a competition site, and while we all come here to have fun, it's not a day care, and part of submitting your work for public comment means having a thick enough skin to not whinge when your technical mistakes are pointed out. If you cannot endure any criticism, you can always not elect to allow public comments.
I do not need to "be careful" in stating what I see. Perhaps you need to be more careful in what you render.

ACTUALLY IT'S HARD TO FIND THE BUBBLE ON YOUR PIECE, AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE OFFENDED AS THIS CRITICISM WAS NOT ROUGH AND BESIDES MossyB POINTED TO YOUR MISTAKES. YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID "THANK YOU" AND CORRECT YOUR MISTAKES.

You are not in training . I received a couple of slaps on all weeks.

The light reflection "spot" is misplaced and makes no sense. It should be a reflection of the sun shining on the planet, not an odd, squarish light spot.
There is also no light reflection/refraction from the flame, which is so bright that it would be MUCH lighter along the bubble "edge," not a dull orange that barely shows on the bubble at all.

Your lighting is all over the place, with misplaced shadows and highlights.
Continuity is important, even in fantasy images, and especially in competitions...

very nice a bit creepy work...GL author

Very good.

Very cute work = )

Simple and effective, great color tones too = )

Dreamy and cool. I like the color too. May I suggest that you vary the star shines. Some could be more blurry than others...or some more intense in brightness than others etc.

EDIT: In that case...

very serene feel , good work
