Great!

fantastic pic

wow!! hectic! Nicely done!!!!

Love It!

I'm not usually a fan of deviant art stock entries, because they are too easy, but this one is pretty well thought out, and brought together. The only thing is the light sources could be a little well thought out to bring it all in, as a cohesive unit/art piece. On the models it's pretty ok, but the crosses they could be worked on, they seem to still feel out of place. too much light on the left, when both models have light coming from the right, just needs some balancing out. The actual composition is .

Ver nice compilation

Thank you for your comments people @annabat, fixed the crosses. Copied via cut the two on the left and flipped them. Worked more on the shadow and light using dodge and burn tool.

U know my opinion...dont have any sugestion...this is great crazy work...well done

The line in the background could be a bit softer for a bit of blending, but GREAT job everywhere else.. nice use of textures for blending

Yup, the flipping of the crosses worked!

Imagination at its best......good luck.... thumbs up!

Love it

love the work! the crosses are my only issue.. the lighting is good, but they seem to lack the grittiness of the rest of the image.... maybe age them a bit or find some real wood texture to put over them... GOOD LUCK!!

Thank you for your suggestion @bjaockx! Changed

Spooky surreal!

Amazing imagination and absolutely fantastic work....

Thank you one more time people! I'd like to say this work was mainly inspired by the censorship one entry has become the target. My entry is a kind of protest against religious and social hypocrisy...

Good choice of colors and tones....excellent mood and fantastic message induced! Great job!

Author.. you get better every single week! AMAZING!!!

I'm liking this a lot, nice mood, good composition.

Thanks a lot for your encouraging comments people. @ponti55, if I've been getting better, it's not thanks only to my efforts, but also thanks to comments, suggestions and support from PXLEyes people Thanks @annabat. I tried not to fall back on DA stock Glad you've liked it...

Very surreal and well chopped. GL!

Thanks for not relying on DA stock, author !

May I ask what's the problem with DA stock?

alot of people think its bad to use DA because they think all the hard work is already done for you I don't mind DA images so long as something about them is changed not just cut and pasted

i'm confused ... how does ponti55 know that 'author' is getting better every week if "Participants (are) hidden until contests end" ... ???

Great image!!!

Thank you for the answer Keiley22 @rgb49, if you vote without making comments, you can see who's the author... You can always post a comment later or afterwards

pretty awesome!

thanks for the explanation -- didn't know that was an option ... nice job, btw

Very nice work.I am big fan of DA images.Yes its true that they very good made,but without imagination and lots of work,no one can guaratee final result...good luck author,this is very nice work...

Snake's a nice touch! Really like this one!

I'm not a fan of using anyone else's images if I can help it. Unfortunately I don't have photographs of snakes and marble columned doors stored in my camera to use. But I can easily use my own images of grass, birds and maybe even mushrooms.What I don't understand is what's the difference between DA images and images from any other source, like flickr creative commons. Why is DA always attacked here? I really like this image. Particularly fond of the placement of the snake. It just makes so much sense to me.

Beautiful work author.....infact a lot of hard work...and a lot of improvement in your work as well....

Snakes symbolize rebirth among other things. Mushrooms were used for opening the perception gates. You can make out the rest There is a poisonous mushroom in the picture (the red one), warning of the danger of opening such gates....

Stunning!

The snake is cool

Sources?

Looks really good but where are the sources?

source 3 is a pre made image... source 5 links to an error page.

I agree with Keiley.I am sure that u could find some other nice star stuff or to create your own.Good luck.

ok .. but here-----http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4b696fc167418/PXL2D2.html---source 3 or here----- http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4b681f72b5c12/Observatory.html-----source 2------ I was allowed to use same kind of picture??????? how come??!!?!!?!??.....i don't understand anything?!?!!?!!?..I have many more examples if necessary from others contests!!!

This is wonderful! but sources don't work?

Link 5 doesn't work, and there's no source for the mattress & floor...

tree in foreground feels out of place... entirely different set of coloring and lighting on it... surreal image or not, light sources still prevail....

Author, why not just post all of your souces correctly in the first place?

obviously the people that voted on those other images didnt check out your source links but if one person is allowed to use premade images then the rest of us should be allowed... simple as that. I had an image removed ages ago and I didn't even realise I was using a premade image of a bird it looked that real lol

@CMYK....because the source 5 had an error and nothing else.....!!!!

Nice job!

Bad shadows...looks like 3 different light sources, but the mood is good.

Tough one given that this is surrealism, but this looks a bit more like placement of random images than a really surreal image (just imho). The colours all blend well and I love the watermelon , just fix the shadows

Beautiful composition...

@Ray Tedwell: I see it. The empty chair represents (his) absense. The Owl represents his flight. The watermelon represents the sweetness of her memory of him. The hand is the persistance of this memory as it hangs over her head. Not random at all IMHO. Very nice work, Author.

downoffthedragon i have to say only one thing...u hit the center of the target.U are right about all things,and i am sure that u see another thing too.See how she look on opposite direction of all sources,3 items are behind her,and one is above her,and this is her representation of sadness.Great eye,and fantastic thinking,thank u a lot,means a lot for me.Nator u are right about the shadow,i will fix that and thanks again for the nice comment.

Owl shadow is a little undigestable other than that....beautiful work....

I like it especially the owl

very nice concept and work, this would make a good children's story and illustration.

very beautiful

its a pity you spent so much time on it cause it is going to get removed it looks awsome author but you used pre made poser images. Source 4 and 5 is pre made.

Thank you for your comments. @Keiley22: no problem, the rules of pxleyes don't restrict the premade image, as long as it's provided as the stock and not art work. I used this kind of 3D rendered images before and it was kept ^^

well then that is very very unfair and favouring on your behalf because my image was removed faster than I read my email.... but that is fine, i shall go back to using pre made poser images myself then... takes some of the hard work out!

Great image, great job author.

really? what a pity . Maybe it's depended on the mod in charge. Hope that my work won't be removed T.T. You make me feel nervous (

Wonderful...

Thank you very much, and please don't forget to vote for me, because this is the great contest with some rocking contestants. If I win, there will be my honor .

Wow! Great! And the colors are beautiful

Great!!!
