Congratulations BWR. A well deserved win with a very unique entry.

A cutie.
You can get rid of the dark line on top of the dandelion by using the dodge brush set to dodge shadows or you could use the "blend if" option.

It's amusing for sure, but the teeth appear to be stuck on the bottom lip instead of protruding from under the top lip. A bit of tweeking needed in that area.

Great work. Very nice color blending and matching.
A small nit pick for improvement... There is just a small green smudge on the top right and a small purple spot in the hairline just above the nose which need to be fixed unless you particularly want them that color?

Lots of intricate detail work has gone into this. Well done.

Congratulations on 2nd.

Congratulations BWR. Excellent work.

Congratulations on 3rd as well.

Congratulations Sylvie. Nicely done.

Yep

Brilliant!
Just a tiny nit pick.... There is a triangular light spot on the right hand thumb which needs cloning out.

Very nice 3D work.

Congrats on third but in my opinion it should have come first.

Congratulations. Well done.

Scary !

Stunning. Beautiful work.

Looks much better.

Here is a great video tip to show you how to easily remove the color fringing.

As still says, halo effect can still be seen on the black and white photo. The only way I have found to get rid of that is by cloning the sky back over the halo. It is done on a new layer on darken mode.

The old chapel is a beautiful building but the photo has chromatic aberation which needs fixing.

Awwww... Totally Adorable.

The original poster has the person silhouetted as well as the animal. Maybe you should make the woman into a silhouette too?

Beautifully done.

Interesting idea.
The floor perspective and table top perspective are different. If you make the floor board lines the same as the angles of the sides of the table top, that should fix it.

The snake plant is scary. I wouldn't like to have one of those in any room.
The female legs on the table and owl peeking through the drawer are a "hoot"

A bit scary but amusing.

Congratulations Sandrine and welcome to Pxleyes. I have been away so I just looked at your portfolio. You do some lovely work. Keep it up.

Congratulations BWR.
Not sure how you came second when we both have exactly the same scores. Looks like equal first to me.

Congratulations BWR.

Congratulations George.

I like the mail box one the best out of your two versions.

That depends on how you define a chimera. In Greek mythology, the Chimera was an awesome fire-breathing monster with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a serpent.

The beak and eye are blended well....but....is the snake supposed to be the tail of the creature? If so, it needs to be blended better because to me it looks like the snake is not part of the creature but just another animal behind it.

Nice filter and effect work.

Did you smudge him into the background on purpose?
In my personal opinion I think it would look better if he was not smudged into the background. I would have just done the smudge painting on the face layer and only slightly blurred the background layer to give some contrast between the model and the background but obviously you are the artist and the final decision is yours.
The man has a very kind looking face and does look like he would make a great Santa.
Keep up your good work.

Very nicely done.

Dear author, the clear water image looks the most realistic and is actually my favorite out of your three versions but as you say, everyone sees things differently and each person has their own preference. None of us can please everyone all the time.
Your work is excellent regardless of the color of the water.

Very pretty.

Beautiful

Much better.

I like your sense of humour.

Thanks Sylvie.

Good work.

Nicely done.

She is very well camouflaged in all that ice and snow.

Congratulations on the win. Superb work.

Congratulations on 2nd and 3rd Sylvie. Nicely done.

Great idea and good work but I think the shadow of the blades on the wood should have been blurred with the same motion blur as the moving blades.

A lot of work obviously went into this. You did a beautiful job.

Congratulations on 2nd place. Great work.

Congratulations on the win. Excellent work.
