Congrats Rob wonderful work

Love is heavier than money..... good idea. Good luck!

Nice idea and well done

Nice concept and lighting is especially well done.

I agree with elemare, nice work all around. Good idea elemare has also, about a hint of sky showing through.

Beautiful, excellently executed and blended. Your perfect masking work can be fully appreciated in high resolution! If anyone wonders what a perfect extraction looks like, look here. Here is your goal.

Now here's my challenge, author, LOL: let the sky show through that softly sheer lace edge.

Congrats !

Congrats!

Congrats Rob, well done... and scary!!

Congrats Rob, that is sooooo ugly

very lol , bravo

Good work! Yep, he's so ugly his mom prop's him up in a corner and feeds him with a slingshot.

Nice find

uh-oh... it has someone's nose!

Aw, he's cute! Good job, author.

super duper chop!!! though I think the body could be a bit more compressed so it doesn't look so stretched (the Head is FANTASTIC!!!!! (the trunk planes out but I guess that's expected that happens to my work when I use sphere ) making the body more compact or chubby might be MORE on theme, but this is great just the way it is GOOD LUCK AND SUPER GREAT JOB!!!

I love the softness of the skin tones, such a sweet child.

Nice masking!

Very cool selective coloring, and great capture too =)

Nice Job Congrats!

Congrats!!

cheers congrats !!!

Congrats!

congrats

no really your work is better and i like it

IMO this manipulation is much better than that worth1000 thing

He looks like I feel some days....nicely done author, love it

It has a hypnotic effect on me. Am I the only one?

try this one author
use layer style on that flower layer
color overlay: (white) ffffff
blend mode: normal
opacity: 100%
i think that one will work with the edges issue because that layer is white and no other color.
if not?
play adjustment levels then channels first...

nice idea author, i like her demonoid tail. Good Luck!

cool work!

great overall creation. there are some minor issues with masking the white parts of the dandelion, but than again, its pretty difficult to mask it 100% without leaving some imperfections. good luck

Beautiful!

Funny & creepy...gotta love it!

AWWWWWWWW, IMHO you should have retained the Fissured Tongue... it would have added so much to the creation.. again IMHO.. (I had a very close relative with fissured tongue, and anytime I see it in anyone else I get a bit gooey.. LOL.. good luck and good job

great work brother

Congrats Rob, great job!!

Congrats Rob, watch out for that dangerous puddy cat..... wonderful work

Congrats for your first place, Robert!

Very good masking, and believeable!

I love this, and I'm not even a cat person!

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

well they distract my eye when I go into high res, they are all I look at LOL, they really look like left over mask bits, but it's your chop, as before, good job and good luck

Very believable...GL author!

the first girl (the one with short sleeves) has little nubs on her back in the high res.. easy peasy fix (just a tiny nit pic, overall excellent work!!!) good luck

Excellent, well done

Very nice work, author, and great find on the heart.
Edit: to Bob and Author, I do have a raygun...... it shoots kryptonite gas.

aww awsome author, im desperately trying to put something together. I love looking at steam punk, but when it comes to the mix and matching it just doesn't blend well. Inspirational image here, thankyou

Goodluck ;p

Love this! I need a ray gun like that.

good mood... good luck
