Next time you can choose the option of publish my entry later... Once you finish uploading your SBS, you can publish without worrying

I think this is a really good job.. GL

Thanks Jello, thanks Langstrum. I'll remember that for next time.

great job!

Fantastic looking entry! Very well created.. my only suggestion, however, would be to remove the lensflare.. but that's just me. Good luck

Looks good except for the distracting lens flare...

Nice image and interesting UFO concept! Minus the lens flare just to beat a dead horse. :P

Nice work...UFO is well made...good luck author

Lens flare fixed! Thanks everyone.

So... that's the way the circles were made... (in your vision, of course!) Very well executed!

Nator, I tried but since the flare would be positioned from the top-left corner down (correct?) the weird orbs keep getting in the way of the crop circle...I'd like the flare, but it does somehow distract. Got any other suggestions? Thanks again.

Thanks for the tip! Will give it a try. I always had trouble trying to figure out a way to add a lens flare onto a seperate layer.

EDIT: Fixed. Looks any better now?

and here we go...... awsome work... GGLL

mystery solved.. haha.. really nice work author..

Great idea and great execution

I wish the ship had a bigger presence, because you did a good job on it. nice chop, tho.

Thanks pearlie and everyone else so far. I wish the ship had a bigger presence too...and I tried doing it at first like this as you can see in the SBS. I soon realized, however, that it looked nothing like a true hoax photo--no one would dare take such a close-up of a UFO. I could, of course, make it look like it was zoomed. Think that would make it nicer, or lose from the overall effect?

try adding a little haze to the spaceship to simulate distance

Haze? But it isn't foggy...? How would that simulate distance? You mean this along with zooming in, yes?

very clean work and nice composition.

fantasic work... should be on the top 3

i was expecting to see this kind of entry... great job, amazing work !

Is that a good or a bad ?

This is one of the most on theme entries I've seen. GL!

Thanks, joshua. Glad to see some people still go by the theme thing. I thought it just was sort of forgotten towards to end so I kind of gave up on it. :p

Well, crop circles are also believed to be a hoax, though unconfirmed. I also wanted to mention, nice touch with the date in the corner. I gave you high marks so I hope you place

congrats!

Congrats for your third place, Gamemastertips

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats

is that a ghost having a picnic???

great job on the pond!

@Jello, yes, a shadow, to be exact. It's meant to be slightly surreal in that way. I think I will, though fix the entry name. And thanks, ricky.

so thats what my shadow does when I'm not looking..........

Mine too...

Yup, you never know!

Lol Nator. I actually thought of that at first, but then I just thought it would be ridiculous. XD

Good idea....

Nicee!

aarrggghhhh .... dementor !!!

i think its really cute...haha...considering the thought that a shadow is watching his paper boat sail away..haha!

nice one i like the shadow by the pond

Convincing scene, nicely done. GL

details are too good.great work.good luck

Thanks, raki!

So cute!

Great work...very well done

hahahhaa funny

Lighting situations dont add up here, makes it akward to look at good idea though.

Edit : There is just nothing about this that feels real, sorry.

Well then can you at least give me an idea what to fix? I ran into the same idea but I didn't know what to do. I just assumed it was alright since there's no clear direction of light source and everything has the same color and brightness.

Oh and "awkward" is spelled with a 'kw.'

Thats how i wrote it . There is shade @ the top of the camera and seems to get darker to the right, yet the shadow on the ground goes the opposite direction :P

Okay, fair point. I'll try removing the shade. BTW: Cheater! The edit feature is handy, isn't it?

Alright, I brightened the top of the camera. Any better now? You have to remember that I have no clue exactly where the light is coming from, as it could be coming from the back just as well as from the top. I'm trying to keep lighting as neutral as possible because of this, though it's hard considering that the camera is slightly over exposed in some places.

Sweet!

Yup looks better, nice job

Look great to me!

Congratulations on the top-three place!

Congrats!

Congrats

congrats

Thanks all!

Very very cute and well done.
