Funny though painful . If you check the HiRes, you can see that the blood has another shading (light from left) than the rest of the image (light from right). Can you fix that? Good luck!

Haha, funny idea . It looks like you used some kinda dropshadow for the cards and the "money", this make these objects look like they're floating a bit. Make sure that there's only shadow on places where the shadow from these objects can fall on (small example: the most left penguin has these cards in the hand, some shadow from the card is on the penguin's body, rest of the shadow on background. Is in this case not logic). Good luck!

Nice work with the shadows. Good luck!

! Good luck!

It's recommended to check the SBS before you vote. Nice work with that bird as funny detail . Good luck!

Nice suggestive. If you flip the balloons, they'll receive the same light source as inside the car. Good luck!

Man, that's freaky . Good luck!

Author, please dont forget to show your sources. Check this page for more info about how to make a Step By Step:http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/07/how-to-participate-in-pxleyes-photoshop-contests/. Good luck!

Nice image, you forgot a tiny little bit of green background just under the nose/ next to the mouth of Piglet. Good luck!

Looks pretty good...I mean, the selection from the grey background of course! Good luck!

Yup, certainly better! Maybe one more tiiiiny nitpick: the nostrils are still too high (guy was laughing, so then you get that). Use liquify carefully to push them somewhat down and you're there . Good luck!

Pretty ok, but Lelaina is right. These "wrinkles" that she mentioned are there because the guy is smiling. If he'd be sad, the "corners" from those wrinkles would go down too, in more or less a same certain result as when he's smiling (maybe less strong because the skin could act different when it's going downwards). If you can fix that, it can be a very believable result. Good luck!

Sweet sad kitty, but maybe you wanna make the other cat look a bit more happy? Good luck!

Good source pic! The lower lip is maybe a bit too stretched, perhaps you'd like to make it more as in the original. Check the tear in this image http://www.flickr.com/photos/lisa_at_home/2746833785/ It's more transparent with a bit of shadow and a more stronger highlight. This way the drop gets more volume. Maybe you can make a same certain thing for your tears. Good luck!

Not bad. Perhaps I miss the ehhmmm..."lines between the corners of the mouth and nose" (sorry, my english sucks, hopefully you get what I mean), right now it's a bit too solid there. If you add that, then just subtle, like in the source image. Ow, and maybe her lower lip is a bit too cartoony. Good luck!

Not bad. Personally no fan of heavy filters, but it's of course up to you if and how much you want to use them. Small thing about the reflection: the spaceship should be in front of the building, right now the ship doesnt cover the building in the reflection. Good luck!

Nice idea, I'd make the high resolution version somewhat smaller (back to the original image's size), right now it's quite pixelated, which is a pity. Good luck!

Good source pick, welldone execution. Good luck!

Nice idea, but what happened to the quality of the painter? The source image you used for it looks quite good and sharp (in full view). Maybe you wanna have a look at that? Good luck!

Nicely done indeed, funny picture too . Good luck!

Nice colors, yes. The only thing is that there's light coming from two complete different directions. Good luck!

Sand effect looks pretty good, but you wouldnt like to adjust the color of the castle a bit more to the beach color? Good luck!

Pretty cool result, though I dont get well why the left side (corner) of the casino is blurred. Maybe you can fix the air inbetween the buildings a little bit (some vertical stripe). And up to you, but I'd remove the small tree part on the right side of the image. Good luck!

Nice combination of sources. You should try to skew the casino (left side moving up) to fix the perspective with the external background (idem for the reflection). If you also flip the casino (horizontal), it'll match better with the the light from the other source. Good luck!

Funny idea , maybe I'd expect a bit more glow from the UFO on the leaves.

Good use of source and nice result for sure! Perhaps here and there need a little bit of more shading (i.e. for the table in the left of the coffin in the middle), but as a whole it looks good with all kinda details. Mmm...maybe one tiny thing is the mist at sea, perhaps a little bit less opaque would make it look more real. Good luck! Ps: I didnt count them so far

Funny , also nice look & feel. Good luck!

Interesting, but I think the rocky background is too brownish like to be under water. It may help if you give it a blue/turquoise photofilter and more blur in the background (so that it looks like that due to the water the background is less visible). See also your used source 8. Good luck!

Apart from what RAZOR says, also a SBS. Good luck!

Pretty cool . And I think it's meant to be a bit hard to look at, woodztockr. Good luck!

Interesting image, though I might agree with pixelkid. Maybe some more indication that there used to be normal life there where's ice now? Small technical nitpick: if you flip the ice piece in front, it'll get more or less the same light source as the rest of the image. Good luck!

Go to My Stuff - My contests. There you see your entry. Click edit, there you can check the high resolution-option. Good luck!

I agree completely with what woodztockr and Golem say. Would be way way more effective if the background is "normal" (with the round wheel removed, of course). Good luck!

Funny idea, but you may want to do something about the cloned background. Or cloned, copy-pasted in fact. Try to avoid obvious repeating (unless you really really want it in an image). Good luck!

Nice idea, the furniture looks quite good, but not completely sure about the background. Perhaps a bit distracting, imo. Good luck!

Nice, maybe a bit other background (lighter/darker or other color) so that the sword itself will stand out more? Good luck!

EDIT: way better with new background

Nice colors and sharp image. Pretty fingerlicking, in fact . Tiny nitpick is maybe the reflection, maybe a tiny little itypity too strong and too much noise instead of blur, but I could understand that's because of the render settings (if not, then forget what this noob said). Good luck!

Looks nice, but maybe a bit other camera angle would make it better (maybe closer to the swords?). Are they hanging above the ground, btw? Good luck!

Nice construction for the bridge . I agree with CMYK about the skin color for the hands, this way there'll be also more contrast compared to the wood of the bridge (which right now is almost the same). Good luck!

Nice one. With some pretty strong light coming from the upper left corner, I'd expect some more shading from the iron cover on the elephant's head. Good luck!

Quite funny, but there's maybe something with the shadow you can fix. The elephant seems to be standing diagonal in the tea house, with his butt more or less against the front side of the house. However, the way the shadow is right now, it looks like his whole body is leaning against that side, which is kinda hard. If you can make the shadow a bit bigger and softer the more it's away from that front side, it would look more like he's in the room. Good luck!

Cute one . Good luck!

Nice use of the pencils to make the tree, could be an etch from Rembrandt . Good luck!

(yelling NOT BAD! APPLE FITS..eh...fits pretty good in the hand. Maybe a little detail: some of the drops are kinda hanging in the air under the leaf. Still, they produce a shadow behind the drop, like it's added on a surface. But then that's not possible, because there's air as background. Good luck!

Good improvements, author. The castle has way more depth now. Good luck!

Funny . You may want to add some shadow on the ground (see also original image), so the car looks less floating. Good luck!

You may want to check this commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73M2ABDedi4 Ontopic: if there's motion blur for the car, maybe you can add some blur to the backwheel too (which is rotating, so maybe you can experiment a bit with some motion blurs from different directions to give a supposed rotated movement) . Good luck!

Nice pick of sources. Castle is not bad, but if you can play a bit with liquify for the lower towers you can fix its perspective a bit more (make the lower roofs less round, because you dont look as much against it as the taller towers). Good luck!

Nice creation, I might have put the ending of the wire (attached to the elephant) behìnd the tower, so that it looks more like the island with elephant is further away. Good luck!

Looks pretty ok. The middle part is maybe a bit too massive (all grey-ish), while there's perspective. So add some light there where's needed (since the light comes from left, the side in front with the windows in perspective should receive light). Also, dont just copy-paste one window in perspective for all windows, cause you see it doesnt fit well. You may want to look again at the half masked tower right on top (why it's masked like that?), but for the rest well done. Good luck!
