Great image, I would make the lights even more glowing.

What do you think of it now Nator, hope it's beter. I also added a bit od distortion of the tunnel and as you can see, a little bit of smoke . Thx for good advice. I like it better now.

Nice chop!!

What Nator said.

The cutting out and merging the two images is very good, but the depth of field in the blood photo doesnt match the bug and would mean that the bug would be way out of focus.

I would agree with the DOF that it would be a little blur in either of the cases...bug or the blood samples....But overall great work....

nice work,gl

Cool

If you can, move the bug 'closer' to the vials so he can remain in focus. Nice masking work though

Nice image GL

good..

I would probably darken her arm and face just a little as the light source is behind her, but overall a nice chop.

Thank you all for your comments. @RayTedwell:How do you know the light source is behind her ? I intended to place the glowing stars around her, and they are very bright so she becomes glowing, too. They are flying around, so you can not say exactly where they are.

I think it's the best one so far. It's nice to see people try and remember that this is an art contest and make it look interesting

... because the front of her dress and part of her arm are dark, at least the right side (or left as we see it) of her face would be a little darker. I am happy for ther to be another light source, as long as it is consistant. I guess you dont have to follow the rules of convention if you have multiple flying stars though .

@RayTedwell: Actually I did made the shadow on her face and body but laterly I think her face is the most valuable area on this picture, so I decided to lighten up by the stars aroud, also this made the scenery more mystic

Very nice!

If you tried and it didnt look like you wanted - then I applaud you for leaving it out. The image is still lovely, and it would be a shame to darken out such a cute little face anyway! I hope you don';t take any offence to my suggetions, just trying so share my perspective. Good luck in this contest - you clearly have one of the best chops here. Cheers
