Idea is quite funny, thumbs up for that. One of the problems imo is the masking, in HiRes I see too many roughly cut pieces or even other backgrounds. With that 10% extra time you might have fixed that . Some more about your idea and Potato Head; since all his face features can be removed, it would have been double fun if the wind would have blown away a nose or ear. Then you'd have done more with the character Mr Potato Head (just as in Toy Story someone hits him in the back so his eyes fall out, haha). To stress that there's a huge wind, you could have added an extra parasol in the background that's flying in the air (or whatever other object). Anyway, that's just my 2 minutes of speech. Good luck!

eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. haha. This is too good! haha

hehe, the wonky head top is intriguing with the expression , good luck author

Sorry, I was distracted by the pretty subject and didn't notice the sprinkler.

Cool pattern

Author, Did you mean to enter this in the "Looking back." contest?

excellent

Nice shot!

Perfect....

Please straighten the horizon

Very nice... I like his entrance from the dark with the B&W - it would be good to have a high res, though

very similar with this: http://effects.worth1000.com/entries/282750/lust. But I think that 2 different person could have the same idea... sometimes...

Very nice and creative =)

very creative, one of the best, gud luck

sweet!.... nice job on the color.

creative

hahhahah cool1

Nice job! Fix the shadow of the slug...the lighting is from above.

OMG, that's horrible - fantastic work, author! LOL, hope you get your images worked out. I think you achieved your goal in step 8.

Very well done, author! I've seen this tut before, and I think you followed it perfectly. GL!...

Nice out side source like what you have done with her hair!! Could do with a little work still, shadows on the slug should be softer,edges are to hard at the moment. And there is a very visible line that runs across her chin that needs to be removed.

Your source 2 needs permission for use out of DA....plenty of time to get it or change model, would be a shame to get this pulled. Well done author

great entry, GL

Congratulations for 2nd place

Congrats!

Congrats for your second place, Tinkerbell!

great take on the theme, gd idea with the magnifying glass too!

NIce!

great

Quite a clever take on the theme!!! Good job!

Using the magnifying glass to make the houses more visible was very clever. Nice addition.

Nice! Once I've played it with some friends and we've broken the bank!
Ok, the buildings are tiny but the whole image is great. As erathion said, the question is solved if you create a detail of the board, but it's up to ya... GL!

Great idea, I think you need a tight shadow under the board.

great idea...maybe u could show only part of the board with a bigger house...just an idea...gl

You should definitely zoom into the board and show more of the houses..

Well thought idea! But the source house isn't visible on the board, you've created all kinds of perspectives of the house but I can't see the source house in them anymore. It's probably a lot better if you take the original house, make it red/green, place it on the board without changing any perspectives. But for the left and right far sides of the board you could just remove the windows and reposition the chimney and maybe horizontal flip it. Good luck!

ohh...silly me...

but the houses and hotels are too small to see.... i mean it is going according to the size of image... but its really hard to see... thats why i missed it....

good idea i have to say...

Very creative! Good work

sorry to ask this out...
i maybe wrong but you have not used the source anywhere... you just made them of different color but never used them in the final image

correct me if i am wrong

Congrats for 1st

Congrats, well done

Congratulations for 1st

Congratulations!

v good entry, great concept and very well cloned out, despite u not being strongest cloner in the world GL

Now why didn't I think of that? Well done! GL!

Looking good. I think the sky could use some more work, it has a gray look to it. if I was working on this image I would copy the area of sky to the left under the power lines and warp it into the middle. also I would get rid of the drop shadow that is around the statue. last thing that jumps out is add a small shadow under the roof line in the center even if ya have to draw it in will help make it all fit alot. Still looks good and G/L

Very cool and clever and nicely done! But what´s all the sources?

This is very well done. I like the idea very much. Just a suggestion : reduce the opacity of the color layers; they are too vivid right now and I would also suggest desaturating the color just a little so as to blend everything better. Good luck !

I agree with SweetSue about the edges.
Now, a question: did you have a reason to do it to him???
