WOW!

Really great!

Just, for me, the "treestructure" on the left jumps a bit out; the dark shadow is a bit to hard compared to the building and the blending of the tree is not "yeah!". The tree you can easily solve by adding shadows to the leaves and with the use of a very small blur brush (say 3 pixels), make a new top layer and select all layers, and go over the edges of the leaves that will give you a better blending.

As a personal touch (what I would do that is ) is making the image a bit bigger at the bottom and emphasize the bare rocks a bit more, IMHO that will attract the attention more on the beautiful sky you've used. But that's what I would do, please don't do it if you don't want to: it's in the end your work and that's how it should be

One more thing: I see you have to credit the author of source 3: just add "thanks to vivekchugh" in your link to that source

Really great idea but there's some room for improvement: the light casting on the boy is a bit oversaturated, specially on the right fore and upperarm.

What I see from the original photo of the boy that you even made the dark areas lighter, I think your profit is to be gained here. You can make the original photo a bit darker and use that as a blending layer over the original photo, so you make the lighter areas come out more. On top of that you could lighten the areas you want lighter a bit more.

Something else: in the high res there's a purple area over the boys thumb and the moon and the boy are transparent at some areas, these last 2 are easy fixes though

I'd suggest to make a layer out of the dropshadow and adjust it's flow, so it follows the street and wall more natural. Also give it some Gaussion blur so they are not that hard

I think straightening the photo would benefit the composition.

The masking on the hair is super!
But, sorry to say, the background does not add to this feeling I suggest you have an extra look-thought about what to do with it...

Darn I'm getting old... when this album was released it was 'that new album from those old guys', nowadays it's 'an album from their early period'... DOH!

Isn't it that the wife is home early and caught you naked playing around with your camera?

did you mean "celebrate"?

good improvement author!

Like this a lot, great idea
You might want to have a new look at the lamp post though, maybe you can correct the perspective a bit and mask the white edges around it a bit better, for the rest: good blending, nice color combinations, good imagination

Author we have some people around which might speak your language and are willing to help others. You can check this page http://www.pxleyes.com/help-by-language/ or find another member who can help you. Mods are always willing to help, but we do not speak all languages

Good entry but have a second look at the tag line, guess you forgot the 'd' in the end

author go here: http://www.pxleyes.com/my-contest-entries/ click > edit entry > upload a new version and you are done

Blending is good (as always ) but maybe you can make it a more surreal image?

I like your idea for this shot but maybe you can re shoot this with less DOF?

WOW I like this!
Something I would have done different is: put a small LED light on the right part (such a small pocket light), it will light up that area in blue on your photo which IMHO makes a nice contrast with the green area, but that would be me

Great entry, great score

I would have loved it if you caught the paint dripping from the leaf in a close up with more lightning on the rose. Could have made a great composition. The hand & brush are disturbing to me TBH....

Maybe you can re-shoot it?

OK author... I have to admit.... I have a tattoo by Keith Haring....
I like this

Author do you have a bigger image? TBH I have no clue what I'm looking at...
Sorry if I sound rude but I'm a bit clueless here, please help me!

If it wasn't for the reflections in the glass it would be worldclass, now it's awesome

I disagree with Mossy, the 'dead space' (as she calls it) is part of a good composition and it brings some rest in a otherwise crowded photo. Me like

Author if you see it this way: you are correct! It's an angle I didn't expect but if you explain - see it that way it's perfect

With this word used it would have been great if it would have reflected in water, giving an extra meaning to it.

Since the word means what it means it would have been a great composition to have the word a bit smaller and in the lower right corner IMHO. That way you would have used the force of the word in a visual representation. I (reading from top to bottom, left to right) would expect a closure there.

Nevertheless: great photo and perfect match for the contest IMHO.

@Fallinghorse: the described adjustments by MossyB are not allowed, the fact they are allowed within a 'selective coloring' contest is what 'selective coloring' contests are about and what makes them a special kind of contest.

Mossy maybe it is time to recalibrate your monitor, eventhough the entry is dark, the 'intel' logo is well visible.

You might want to fix the 2 horizontal lines on the figure, they are a bit distracting and out of place IMHO, otherwise good entry

Cropping this close around the windows with an even border on all sides might make it a visual more interesting photo

Now this looks great, great recipe and great photo. Great DOF and focus

Author it wasn't criticism, just an observation

It's a bit of a disabled Jumping Jack LOL... think you switched the arms around. The hands can't show like this, with the palms open and the thumbs down

Great and simple, I like it!

Maybe you can turn it into a portrait so the design can be bigger on the shirt? And maybe also add "www." in front of the URL?

Can you make it a bit bigger within the space you have? we have an A4 space to print and there's a lot of wasted space this way, the logo can be bigger on the shirt
Maybe you can add "www." in front of the URL?

Good design, maybe you can change the background a bit? The final shirt will be white, meaning this print on a shirt will look like a block on it. If the background is more flowing into a gradient to white towards the outside it will look nicer on a shirt.

Can you add "www." in front of the URL?

"1 cup plain flower" you mean roses, tullips...?

Really great concept but you are missing a part of the description 'PXL ON TOUR' should be mentioned in the design

I like your idea of adding a print on the back.
