very nice,The shadows and the illumination seems to be done with GI!

Clever idea. I'm sure it must have taken you some time to get it just right.

cute idea

Looks like very hard work well done.

Funny idea. Maybe I wouldnt expect darker shadows there where 2 shadows cross each other, since it's all from a same light source. Good luck!

Thank you all for your kind comments. Edit 2: Remove overlapping shadows and add a little blur.

Nice.

nice job with the shadows

wonderful work author... just an IMHO.. maybe thicken the Stems like a real Sunflower? you know, to show the heaviness of blossum,,, right now the stems look a bit weak to hold such an enormous seed chamber (Just thinking about the realism of the image) Not really necessary (just trying to help)... GOOD LUCK!!!!

EDIT: AWESOME with the thicker stems..now they look secure... great job author!!!

Very nice image, GL

nice done

Looks really delicious

very good the final result, i just would change the background...dont know, put a green field

Good work.

Thank you for the comments.The background is simple but it give depth and motive to the lighthouse.

Good job

Wonderful....

Nice image, some edges could use a bit of cleaning up...

What CMYK said...and I'd like to add that this is very appealing. I wish I were there now to down these!

good use of skills , i love the background and the curves you created. ( i agree with the above comments ,, but it is just a few touches needed)

Only slight edges, like the base of the cocktails. You can see the original shadows, even in low res.

I like this a lot.. very nice work (great job with the leaves behind the glass!!)

High level in the comments. It is an honor. I came late for the correction of edges. I'm sorry. Thanks for your kind remarks.

nicely done, the edge of the table looks a bit funny in HiRes
