great

Thank you Nisha... I appreciate your comment

The source image is barely noticable. Just my own opinion, understand but I have always felt a good source image entry is one that does not require chopping the source beond recognition. I know not everyone shares my opinion, so good luck to you author.

very nice

Comments are appreciated.

The grape looks great!

Thanks Cornelia, just wanted to do something different... good luck!

You might want to soften the glasses a little bit. They seem a tab bit sharper than the rest but other than that, this is a really unique chop. Well done !

EDIT: yeah, much better. This is definitely going to be a strong contender. You used the source so well and made for some interesting chopping. Well done author!

Thanks Jawshoewhah! You were right.

Nice idea... good luck author

nice

Oh, he looks sad

I think this one should have won

WOW!!!! What a wonderful and clever Idea... you don't know where to look first... even has the whole steam punk feel... awesome!!!

Unique entry, awesome detail in your image and creative use of the source, however, why such a gloomy sky?

EDIT: looks like you ran out of time. It's still a unique entry so good luck!

Very nice and creative entry. Good luck

jawshoewhah: i will try a few brighter backgrounds, as i didn't intend for the sky to look gloomy (: thanx

nice image -- like the detail

great job

Would love to see more contrast between your balloon and sky. Love the balloon.

The texture u=you have created for the ballon is fantastic!

Thank you Clinge.... your comment is appreciated.

You know you probably could have made this out of anything, right? It's an excellent chop and well designed but better fits a theme contest, rather than a source image contest. Just my own opinion.

very nice

Beautiful blue flowers!
