You created a very scary looking creature. Well done.

The white lady is supposed to be a ghost in the myth. I think she would look more "Ghost Like" if you made her slightly opaque or transparent.

I am sure some men dream of an alien trio or threesome or whatever the case may be. I just wonder what they are all staring at on the ground.

That's better.

I understand that but if you use masks and layers, you can control how much of the filter effect goes where. You don't necessarily need to have the same strength of filter on the whole scene.
You might be interested in the following tutorial.

The process can be applied to any filters which have controllers on them.

The costume suits the old man. He looks like a very fun loving character.

I agree with Driven. The concept is incredibly unique and creative but would look a lot better with a 3D dimensional effect, some stems on the flowers and using some perspective on the blue check to make it look more like a table with a tablecloth on it than like an apron.

The eye position gives her a very amusing expression. It looks as if she is thinking the following... "Do you really think I am dreaming about all those things?... If you only knew the truth of what I was really dreaming about.... Did you see that hot sexy man back at the bar.........?

My only suggestion for any improvement is to give the dreamy objects a bit more of a dreamy feel by making them more opaque or transparent so they look more ghostly than solid in the air. Maybe put a bit more cloud around them too so they all look like they are in the same cloud?

I thought drinking beer was supposed to make ugly girls looks pretty not vice versa?
You did a very good job of changing faces and making them look ugly though. Poor girls.

Good job of changing the face on the model but personally I don't like the strong texture effect on the face. However, it's probably just a matter of personal taste.
The girl looks happy even if she is lost in translation or lost in the world.

The transition from the tattooed rose and the real rose on the arm is well done and the falling petals effect is a nice touch.
I think all those large flowers on the book is an overkill of roses though and detracts from the work you did on the tat. The eye is drawn to the flowers on the book rather than to the rose on the arm. Maybe change the picture on the book to something with a smaller scene? If you change a book cover, also change the title on the book, otherwise the book title does not match the scene on the cover.

Great use of the pen tool, shading, bevel and emboss. The transition between the tat and what appears to be wrought iron is superb.

A good effort which could be improved by using some kind of transition to blend the tat with the dragon sculpture. The way you have done it, makes it look like the dragon sculpture is something separate to the tattoo which is just wrapped around the arm or pasted on top of the arm. It does not look like the tattoo is coming alive out of the arm.
To make a tattoo look like it is coming alive, the "real" thing needs to be blended with the tat so both sources look like part of each other.
The following tutorial shows you how to add a transitional fade effect from one image to another using masks.

The idea is good but I think it could be made great if you blend the real bird with the tattoo to make the tat actually look like its coming alive rather than looking like it is just a shadow. You could also make the wire transition better to look like the wire is coming out of the leg rather than just wrapping around the tattoo on the leg.

What happens when he has a cold and needs to blow his nose? It certainly causes my imagination to run riot.
You did a great job on the tat but I am sure you could make the whole work look more artistic if you changed the background as well. All that stuff in the background is distracting.

Congratulations on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I bow down to the master of feet.

Congratulations on 1st 2nd and 3rd Cephus. Brilliant work.

I am not a fan of vodka but this photo makes the drinks look very tempting to try. Excellent shot.

I really like the cute Mexican hats on the bottles. Great shot.

Excellent work.

At least I got two sets right. It was fun trying to match them. I would still match the liver ones together because of colour rather than head markings. It makes more sense to me since they stand out from the rest. I am sure you had a ball trying to keep them lined up. I tried lining up a litter of kittens once and gave up because they simply wouldn't stay put.

Sorry to hear that you lost your special girl. I am sure you will treasure all the photos you took of her. I like the sunset bokeh in this photo and the dog looks sweet but the focus on her is slightly soft looking to me. I think it might have been better if the eyes were sharper.

I think the monkey on the dogs back is really cute and I know it is not easy to take shots of moving animals, but the back of the dog looks better focused to me than the front of the dog. I think it might have been better if the focus was slightly more toward the front to get the dogs head in better focus.

Simply adorable. Did you take this at night? If not, how did you manage to get such a lovely smooth black background?

Great capture

They are adorable.
Numbered from left to right, I will match 1+7 2+5 3+6 4+8
The two brown headed ones are easy to match. The others are a bit harder because they all so much alike.

Well caught action.

Great action shot.

It's not a hard fix. It's just a matter of selecting and cloning the bits. I guess it depends how precise you wish to be.

Nicely cut out but there are a couple of tiny flaws you need to fix. Take a look at the left inside of the O. There is some straight grain on the edge which should be diagonal. Also the wood join inside the O does not match the wood join outside the O.

Congratulations Sylvie.

Congratulations on 3rd.

Congratulations on 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th and all over 60%. Excellent work.
