Whoa!

Excellent creativity.. looks like a winner to me

wonderfully detailed -- great creativity

We all know who did that

Too much repetiton for my taste (due to the many multiplications), but very creative indeed.
Good luck.

Inanis, there is magic in these multiplications and not everyone can achieve such great result. Amazing job author as usual.

My Goodness... It's really spooky! And an arduous work we can see here... I'm with no words.

Yikes - feed me, Seymore! Very cool work, author.

congrats and great job

Congrats for your first place, Cornelia!

Congrats Cornelia, a scary beastie

ah it is you,...congrats,...very creative,....actually formerly I thought it was drivenslush's....

Congrats Cornelia, you have an unlimited repertoire with this style and great works like that are always expectable. @Dek: you need more time to get familiar with Slush's works

They are unmistakable!
Cornelia, congratulations for this deserved 1st. place!

Congratulations, for great winning.

Congrats, very creative, as usual!

Fantastic work. Just one thing: The Earth looks a bit too bright compared to the dark background. Maybe darken a bit. GL !

The idea is so much better than the execution. The masking of the earth showing under the cover is actually very sloppy. I would actually add some more contrast to the earth below.. andmake some light shadow to the 'holes' to give some depth. Anyways, the overall masking needs a lot of more work.

Gonna vote later, if you decide to work on this.

It's a great idea, but i do agree with Widair, rough selections are quite obvious especially in high resolution. I would also suggest lowering the number of stars in the sky, it seems a bit clustered at the moment. Good luck

Thanks lamantine, widiar and ponti55 for nitpick. I have corrected some masking issue. Hope it is ok now.,

what a great idea! i agree about contrast, maybe make the whole image a bit darker? a step by step would be great too

that is really amazing. stunning creativity you executed this perfectly!

Thanks elficho and CrystleClear. elficho, SBS uploaded.

It's a lot better already. For the biggest 'hole' in there you should mask the left edge better. If the weave/ribbon is broken, just copy paste a new solid ribbon for the edge part and mask it carefully to blend in. Some more contrast (and a bit darker background stars) and maybe an overall inner shadow for the whole globe with quite large choke and size to make it even more 3D .. it doesn't have to be a strong shadow, but quite big. Also check the masking for the leftmost waterfall. Either hide the left edge or make sure the water falls from the 'hole', like with the rest of the picture.

I'm glad you're working on this, already so much better.

kevinice95, thanks for comment but you can't erase background in this source by simply background eraser. I always use masks. In this case I have used color range selection tool, then refine some edges manually.

Widiar thanks again for observing very closely my work. Have made some changes.

Wonderful!
This entry makes me wonder that we always waste water (bad use, pollution, etc.)

yes i agree i had the same idea in vegie close up whit new earth new life

Indeed, your work definitely has style, and I like that. Another great piece.

Beautiful.

Thank you for your comments! I edited the entry a bit, i lowered the opacity on the shadows and adjusted some of the lighting. Thank you all for the encouragement

Lovely surreal image!

Congrats for your third place, Matteo!

It's you again . Congrats !

Congratulations, Matteo! "Mr. Mood"...

Congratulations, again for 3rd

Congratulations, Matteo!

Nice. SBS would make it even better.

Cool concept! And a striking image my only suggestion would be to see if you can get some of the definition back in to the nose has been lost at the moment.

Wow. Love it

very nice work...gl

Scary room

super creative fun!!!

Nice work, but you should definitely keep it anonymous.. change the title.

Crap**ing copy paste. Sorry for the title comment, it wasn't meant for your entry.

Very cool design here, the very blurry sky is only thing I'm not very happy with. But it's a matter of taste, very nice anyways.

Reminds me of something you would see in a game, cute entery =)

very nice work...gl

very good

So beautiful and romantic!
