hehehe.. very Margritte!!!.. good luck author... the butter fly could be a tad smaller but if you wanted it that big.. that's cool (it is an homage to Margritte so it really is in the anything goes realm.. GOOD LUCK)

Amazing entry. Good luck.

Awesome cut, author! Good luck with your entry!

Good idea, but the way you've built the background there are two light sources...

This is nice, I like it. But logo on the balloon kind of ruins the fantasy element for me. Wish you have used one that didn't have one on it.

Very different and creative idea, but I have to agree with CMYK and Annabat.

Amazing image, great idea and result!

very creative and different...good luck author

Very good job with the cottage,but garden light source don't match with the rest of the image,its a bit lighter and sunny...good luck

Thanks for the comment. At first I didn't upload the step with the mist and filter. It does make a difference!!

Looks much better now author...high marks

Hmmm... I'd like to have a cottage like that, with a small vegetable plot, a horse, some ducks, dogs and cats...

nice combo...... good luck author....

i think u should change the color of the tree because if the garden is green, the tree couldnt be with orange letters.

excellent entry

And also congrats for a lovely third place!

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats!

congrats

Congrats!!

Congratulations!!!

very different approach author.. GOOD LUCK!!!

Nice entry . Good luck

Interesting idea, poorly executed.

try using the "select color range" tool to get rid of all the white spaces in between the branches, either by simply deleting the white, or changing it to another colour (green maybe? haha).

Thanks for commenting. I will try to improve my work.

done! Thank you

nice i like how you made the background and the lady face , gl author

great work and veryy different idea

oh, this is much better GL

Very good! =)

Nice.

Wow! A witch raising from the underground... amazing!

Very nice idea......Good Luck Author.

Congratulations!!!

thanks to all

Very nice and very interesting to see your new entry ^^. I just have a small suggestion of erasing the black strokes around some fishes, this can be seen clearly in the HiRes. Best of luck to you

I really like this one. I especially like how you created the ocean surface (being viewed from below) and the ocean floor as well. langstrum is right about the fish strokes, but again, only on close inspection. My only other nit-picky critique (again, only noticeable in hi-res) would be the pearls by the oyster. They seem to be floating instead of lying on the ocean floor. Maybe some shading or scaling? Just a thought. You have a great command of lighting. Impressive work overall.

thank you for your comments, I will try to fix the fish asap Thanks again, much appreciated!
EDIT: I tried to get rid of the black strokes... I hope this is better

nice job but i think it will be more realistic if you put the algae in the side of the image or if you cut the trunk but still nice idea

beautiful

Outstanding!

sheeesh... thank you guys for the comments and Favs

Good job!

Grrrreattt job....

Nice idea to turn the tree into a sea- weed
