that is one awesome piece of work there !! Good luck !! Reply »

love this entry! a great example of a picture comming to life her butt is a lil bit weird tho, I believe the far end of the butt should be a lil smaller or rounder maybe.. Reply »

i think the butt just needs some highlights as well as the rest of the photo-shopped part of the body to better match the aesthetic of the original, also the skin is quite a different color from the original


clean work author and gl Reply »

GIRL WITH NAKKIE BUTT.. HEHEHEHE Reply »

Normally I would have said to bleach out the lower torso like the upper torso, but I think you show the transition into the real world better the way you have it.
Nice work.

Very nice, look good! Reply »

Good idea...nice work Reply »

Absolutely original nut i think you should try to blend more the new skin with the painted one, would look more professional imo. Good luck. Reply »

Fantastic vision and well executed Reply »

This is very good entry. Its unique and well executed. Best of luck to you. Reply »

Really nice details! Reply »

Great idea! I"d blur the reflections of the ceiling lights in the water, though. Reply »

On to the next round my friend...Wonderful Entry! Reply »

I'm wondering if you changed the depth on the floor and show more of the under tank it would make for a bit more drama (It's a very THICK floor, but that could be just me) I just really would love to see more of the tank underneath because it looks a whole lot more interesting then the top Great job though, really love the idea gives a whole new definition of swimming a lap LOL GOOD LUCK Reply »

Hey thanks for all the comments and suggestions. @CMYK: I know what you mean...but those are the original light reflections on the pool surface. @Drivenslush: I wrestled with the thick floor...I actually made it thinner, originally but it looked strange. The thick floor makes more sense to me since it's housing an internal pool. @Stowsk: @Chalty: Those details are inspired by much of your work. Reply »

yup.. smaller floor, maby darker too. very nice Reply »

I like this, very creative = ) Reply »

I loved this entry so much, I can not stop looking! I want to swim in a pool like this!!! Great job! Reply »

Congrats!! Reply »

Congrats, my friend!!! I loved this work! Reply »

congratulations! Reply »

I like the overall look, but IMHO it needs some work.

We can see through the tree. For example the bottom part of the tree, we can see the ground through it.
The edge of the water needs some work aswell. On the left for example you have a "straight cut line".

Good luck. Reply »

Water is colorless, and reflects the color of the sky or things around it. It should be much closer to the sky colors. Good image otherwise.
Edit: Looks great now. GL author! Reply »

@Photoshopper: Thanks so much for the watchful eye. Made adjustments and looks better thanks! @CMYK: Yep...looks better with your observation. Originally was going for a surreal look, but this is more fitting. Thanks! Reply »

very beautiful work got my vote Reply »

there you go I was seeing soemthign that didnt fit in the work n couldnt put my finger on it.. cmyk good catch.. great fix author image is very much improved Reply »

Looks great! lots of work put in on this one. I still feel like i can see through the trunk of the tree slightly, but i feel that if it hadn't been mentioned i don't think i would have noticed.

Great work, good luck! Reply »

Looks so much better now. Great work on giving the water the proper reflections of colors and object aswell.
Now the image truely is one piece.

Great work and good luck. Reply »

Nice Job Congrats on first Place Win Reply »

Very nice. I might do some more soft erasing on the left side of the foreground sand, but it's a well made and intriguing image. GL author. Reply »

Try to work a little bit more on the feet on the sand it's make not realistic ! otherwise good work !
Reply »

good collection of sources put together well Reply »

CMYK and lolu: Thanks so much for your help. I have blended the left side foreground sand more...and also fixed the shoe in the sand to make it more realistic. Looks better! Thanks so much you two! Reply »

This image proves what i have always said, Men would also misplace their heads if they were not attached.

JUST LOVE< LOVE < LOVE, the choice of images, the mood and construct of your image. BIG THUMBS UP Reply »

very nice, makes me kinda think of rene margritte and salvador dali mixed up Reply »

Wonderful, amazing work. Reply »

On the scale of 10 I would rate 9 on your idea and 8 on execution. Actually you made this kind of image before and it inspired me to make one of my work. However, I have some critiques that might help you to improve that image if you're willing to (1) The perspective or the angle of the sand is different from the gray ground, so viewers can feel the inner image (inside the frame) is actually closer and higher than the outer image; (2) the pattern of the sand and the gray ground are very different, so even though you used a high feather radius, they are not blended well Reply »

@ All: Thanks all for your comments. @langstrum...thank you so much for your observations, they are much appreciated. You make some great pointers...unfortunately I can't commit any more time to this as of now. Glad I could inspire you to do a similar approach on an entry. Thanks again for commenting and offering ways to improve. I'm always looking for that kind of critique. I guess I must rely on the 'so strange' mantra to answer any inconsistent elements. Reply »

That's what I planned to mention, the "so strange" elements, but didn't have enough space for that. From that aspect, everything is fine lol. I understand that it's close to the voting period so normally we don't have enough time do make any change. Best of luck to you, author Reply »

So glad to see you....I really like this image, I can totally relate Best of Luck Reply »

Congrats Rob, wonderful work Reply »

I really like this one! Great concept Reply »

This is really good...if the leaves had shadows it would be great! Reply »

i agree with cmyk but u did a very good work.good luck Reply »

just freakin awesome Reply »

this is fantastic! Reply »

wow,amazing,supercool,i love the way the other stuff is in grayscale,giving a dreamy effect and the scattered leaves.amzing job author Reply »

congratulations, nicely composition. Love it Reply »

great idea and execution! gl Reply »

CMYK and mariosilva: Thanks for your sharp eyes. The shadows I had on leaves were too light. I darkened them...looks better! I also added slight reflections to the leaves. Thanks for your suggestions! Reply »

Brilliant idea, I like this Reply »

Great idea........Awesome job.... Good Luck Author. Reply »

that's what I'm talking about!! Great Job!! simple and powerful!! Reply »

beautiful work, well done Reply »

fun fun fun.. awesome Reply »

can't stop looking at it. The edge of the canvas looks terrific, but it's not the continuation of the image. Was that intended? I think it's great, I wouldn't even have thought of making the edge out of the image, too. Reply »

Very original and well done. Reply »

good entry Reply »

fantastic idea author, i love this Reply »

Excellent, nice work Reply »

great work!! Reply »

OMG I LOVE THIS!!! *favs it* Reply »

very nice work!! good luck Reply »

awesome wrk......................so good... Reply »

Awesome work Reply »

its an awesome work and i like the idea.. im just confused why the girl shadow go the oposite direction of the others o.o; Reply »

Eladine: Good catch...I intentionally created the shadow this way because I wanted her to look as if she's entering the 'picture' space...also if I give her the same properties as the others...the shadow won't be as noticeable and she may look cut out...or not 'on' the bridge. Hopefully that makes sense...thanks for asking! Reply »

Great work! Reply »

thnx for explaining I knew you must of done it with intention again, very nice work Reply »

great use of source author. Reply »

Bravo! Great job! Reply »

Great! Very cleverly done! Reply »
