Colors, reflection and masks are really well done. Good luck Author

Nice, but I'd fade out the sails in the reflection. Right now it looks a bit too pasted on the water. Good luck!

Nice coloring......

Beautiful coloring.

This is so beautiful, I loved the warm tones, are so soothing!!! Good luck, author!

wow beautiful work!!

I really love this image, colours and reflections are great. I would like to see a bit more space at the top of the sail maybe (but only my opinion - if you like it that way, then go with it!)

lovely

very pretty

Calmness!!..fav for me

Congratulations pshoudini!

congrats!

congrats m8

Congratz

Congrats!!

Author, apparently did a great job here, but certainly not just me, but many will enjoy to see in Hi-Res... best in order to vote ... I'd love to see this larger work!

genius...I love every pixel of it

I like everything except the black "ooze" dripping from the bottom. I can't decide if it is oil, or what, which makes the rest of the image, especially the oversized birds, visually confusing...

Love the idea of making greenery out of honey drip. The birds could be made either blurred as in moving or sharp as frozen flying At the moment, they seem to be blurry images in my opinion. But, overall, I like it very much - well done

Ok author, now I can see the perfection that you entered the grass, is very natural.
And I can also see the little fish, like the deep sea filled with sap... Poetic! Beautiful!
For me, everything is perfect, the seagulls also, no defect in them.

You know, who could tell us exactly how each seagulls should be, as each must have a certain effect? No one IMO!
Your work is perfect! Fav.
Good luck.

Very good concept, great lightning and color blending

Great surreal image with really nice detail. A beaut!

Awesome, The birds are not the best quality tho, I suggest you removing them, but apart from that, great; just great!

nice thinking

Appealing image, hi-res shows a lot of details. Nice composition, good transition from sky to the deep sea.. My only nitpick would be that shadows might be little corrected and waterfall more consistent, but since it is kinda surreal image its ok to me.. Nice entry overall and good luck author

Hi res is great, very nice composition, good luck!

gratz! well deserved!

congrats , you nailed it !!

Congrats, Houdini, you deserved!

I want it!!! Nice job

This is creative and sooooo well done!!!! I loved!!! Good luck author!

tks hun! i really appreciate the support!

Superb work !! ,Well did you use topaz clean filters? well a SBS would have been better ! but its authors choice so GL .

That is one ferocious feline! Good luck author!

no more garlic for you young man LOLOLOL. .very neat!

This is awesome. Many would have stopped at just the flames out of the mouth. But putting that smoke out of the nose really adds something!! Nice work.

I like this one, so what did the kitty have for breakfast, hot peppers, lol. NO I get it, he's a dragon wonabe = )

Lovely atmosphere and nice illumination makes it very fascinating. Also the underwater part results very well made, but, in my opinion, it shouldn't be so wide; it gives emptiness to half of the picture.

#NICE! agree with rusvelt. the underwater szene have to be smaller, cause you can see the water surface from bottom in a wrong perspective! another point: the water line between underwater and upper part is way too linear. you need many small curves in this pic ...however, great lighting and blending skills!

I think the boat has weird shadows... if the light comes from right, there should be no shadow on the right side of the boat. Good luck, i love the mood and the blending :P

Aw, so sorry! I was thinking this was a theme one... wasn't paying attention to the contest's name.

#fresh update! best of luck

Another suggestion, because of the hot color temperature from the shiny sunset, equally the boat colors should be warmer, maybe more on the right side. It's just a suggestion, and my opinion. GL

Makes me want to dive in this sea! This work is very beautiful, very tasteful shade! Good luck, author.

Nicely done, but the lightning should be on the left, since that's the lighter side of the sky and where the light on the face comes from.

The lighting of the hand is inconsistent with the light source of the moon.

EDIT: IMO removing the moon & lightning would make a simpler, less distracting background and allow us to focus on the main image.

I really like this style of work, is not anyone who knows how to work well with submersion.
Surreal!
Good luck, author!

She really looks like she's in the water, the bubbles coming out from her nose are perfect.

Well done, nice realistic look.

Really nice composition. Love the submerged color contrast to the top! Nice job, author!
