i like the idea but something is a bit off... maybe is the direction of the tails or the shadow effect around the butterfly.

the bum area looks too full, it does not match the bony upper frame, otherwise good job!

there is a watermark on the branch that you should remove, before the mods remove your entry.

i like the concept. maybe darken the background a bit, to draw attention to the photograph frames?

also, there are some sort of mask on top of the animals, is a little distracting.

congrats, roon

congrats on first to you as well

congrats on first to you as well

very nice! i really like this, anything well done with a heart on it makes me smile!

well, i'll give it a go... i don't think the object was to make a play of words and image. it is a very straightforward goal to pretty much give an older person a "photoshop cosmetic surgery", to recreate how the person would have looked younger, not as a baby. i believe that was another contest. besides that, i don't think the person on your original image had a beard and grey hair as a baby, maybe if the baby looked like the man as an infant people would not have a problem with the entry. hope this clarifies it, at least from my perspective.

i happen to think is wrong in so many levels an off theme. so many good entries have been removed before on other contests by being a bit off theme...i am on the fence on this one

i like it this image, i agree about flying dreams...did you know that flying dreams are actually about sexual desire?

are those fishsticks? clever!

it seems you placed the person behind the glass, yet the window opening is on the side closer to the viewer... love the idea!

there goes my idea, good thing is only a scketch... best wishes!

sat on a tuffet.... she reminds me of my niece!

how about the hand with heart only? i agree with ponti55 that the message is a bit harsh.

great take on lust!

hmmmm, i am at a loss... there are multiple ways to come up with a color screen, and to me is the result that counts when it comes to judging. don't get me wrong, i am a sucker for process, that is how i learn and enjoy creating, but that is for myself. when it comes to sbs, i think it looks more like a story board for an animation, a completely different medium. to me, if you have to give an extensive explanation, or an explanation at all, of your work, then the message is not coming out right. " a picture is worth more than a thousand words" is key.

nice idea. i was just wondering about the japanese sculpture...was this taken at morikami in boca?

this is a great idea. to make it believable the glass must have realistic cuts and seams. for example, on the sunrays, you would not be able to cut the galss and solder it together like that because 1(the glass would break and 2) the lead would not be able to support it. i suggest doing some research on sites for stained glass tutorials and taking a look at the process and craftmanship.

too funny! i am not so sure about the feet being the same, since nobody really is symetrical. other than that, one of my favorites in this contest. best wishes!

surgeons take toes to replace severed fingers, pretty good job recreating it!

i think it already exist under another name, retalin for children, prozac for adults. but without a prescription, give me a case!

must ... not.... stare... at.... cuteness... concentrate... on the work........ ok, now that i covered the cuteness factor, i think that the box fonts look as if they are floating, not part of the packaging. also, the type colors against the bg make it hard to read. may i suggest designing the packaging first by itself and later adding it to the chop? ok, now back to baby....awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

at first i thought it was gross, meat gum, but then i remembered how i've had horrible overcooked meat i had to chew on forever in order to eat it, so this is not that far fetch... so, i love it!

not without my handbag, that is what it reminded me of! this is great piece. congrats, author!
