love it! thats awe-inducing! it sorta looks like the closest lift pole is tilted too much to the left. love the colors and perspective...

Nice job!

cool! gl

a little perspective problem but still good idea! good luck!

very nice mood an sbs??

Agree with 8DX about pole perspective, and drop shadow would only be on 2 sides of the pic...

it almost looks like a TV bubble effect.. very cool... good luck author

Really nice work !!

good work

that's one way to beat rush hour traffic, he-he. Well done!

Really nice effects, well done

nice job

Nice !!!!!

original i like it alot

Interesting concept

Great idea.... cool point of view well worth the effort!

If you had fixed the perspective on the pole this would have been a lot better...

Just wonderful! Great colors (beautiful sun) I would add some redial blur to imitate moving! GL

Nice result. Maybe I see it wrong, but the cable might have a problem with the sign there in the grass? I like the light. Good luck!

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats!

Congratulations.

Congrats!

great work.. but source??

good

i think we never see hires again... good luck...

accurate and great blended use of text.. very hard to do.... good luck

beautiful entry goodluck.

Its not really very blue is it?

Bad source link...if it's from Google it's probably not usable...not much blue here, either.

Interesting image, but it's lacking in blueness. I think the odd fin-like thing on the left side only distracts and would be best deleted.

interesting image source link doesn't work

its not all blue

I guess I missed something, this looks pretty blue. Wouldnt you like to give the decoration some kinda blue either, author? Good luck!

nice job

great

ditch in chessboard! good reflection good luck!

good work

creative! gl, author

The reflection of the drips on the cherry piece is different to what is actually on it. I think it would be better if you applied the drip thing to each piece individually as well, thewn you won't have them floating in mid air in between the pieces. You will also be able to apply some perspective to them as well, making them smaller as they go further back into the distance. Hope this helps.

Always like chess art.

i made pawnn this way that its reflection made it differ too

Nice idea - but your chess board squares dont line up? ]i see its in the source also - but I would slide it to suit. It may not be accurate - but will not draw the attention away from your figure] Also the water droplets on the row of pawns does not blur with the depth of field.

Not bad, but I'd make the reflection more transparent. For example, use a layer mask for the reflection and then in the mask make a gradient (white above, more grey till maybe even black down) to let it fade out more. Or play with the blending modes. Good luck!

Great job. i really like how the blurry effect is but it's not on the reflection on the one peice that line is blurry but the red peice is crisp... i think that's is the only minor thing that is messing with me! Still Wonderful idea, and Wonderfully put together!

i newer think acherry pawn!!! good lick author

nice work

Good image nice sense of depth well done..

nice job

good work

good work.. would luv to see a high res though.. gl

cool idea

nice job

Nice Image but the contest says "Your image cannot contain any other colors... only different tones of blue." Good Luck

In my opinion it is ON theme. Arent't black and white the two extreme tones of ANY colour? (well, as a matter of fact, white is considered a colour, but if we take this into account we'll have most of the entries removed) Nice work, author

nice little bug, good work although the hand is not blue

very pretty

being that there is a shadow on the finger of the bug, i just assumed it was light going over the hand?? i think entry is fine though. Lighting isn't a colour ;p goodluck author.

very descent work.....well done.....

here is one thing that i never expect to see blue , good idea.G.L.

Nice and clean !

Looks good...author, just add a bit of blue to the hand and you'll be okay. Otherwise technically you're off theme...

yeah i think you're fine with the colors. Neat idea. Never realized how good ladybugs would look in blue

i like the grainy effect u have used.. very nice.. gl

nice

Aww... he's cute! There is an area in the top right, where you have taken the blue past the birds feathers, it would look better if you fixed this

nice job

Not following the theme...Good Luck

It's not off theme, author, since you have used only blue and it's tones, which two extremes are black and white... just as it happens with ANY colour. (as a matter of fact, white is considered a colour, but if we take this into account we'll have most of the entries removed) Nice job and good luck

A bit to simple, but it works, make it more blue

your colour overlay has mad it very pixelated

nice work.....but same......more grayscale than blue toned.....

on theme- but is it meant to be so grainy?
