Doesn't look that bad Idea is great, but why the fire? Without the fire you keep the pepper as the important object in the image that does the melting, now it looks like the fire does that. Would be funnier if only the pepper is melting the snow, than you have a better concept. Is there a higher resolution image? If so, upload it.
The background is a little boring, maybe cutting of the top of the image (so you wont see any houses) would make the image more powerful. Good luck!

nice idea

Ressiv,

Thanks for the comments, when I looked at it I thought yes, why did I set it on fire there is no need. I have also cropped is as you suggested as it less distracting now and the focal point after all is the chilli.

gopankarichal,

Cheers mate! I having so much fun experimenting with Photoshop and I get to express my ideas through simple images : )

I think this is right on spot... if the chili is more centralized or other aspects are blurred a bit to give central and main focus on the chili in the otherwise snowy scene... keep up the awesome work author!

Thanks woodztocker! Totally made my day : )

Dunno how the image looked like before the edits, but this result is quite funny . I dont completely agree with woodztockr's suggestion, because I think that the red is already asking enough attention from the eye. With a blur in the edges of the image you may lose the connection that it's a cold landscape. Good luck!

:/

Very psychodelic!

So cool

Interesting use of source. But could have been less busy i think. GL.

you're getting better with every entry author!

Add SBS

Yes - coming soon to a monitor near you......

A great way to use the source. Would be more 'your own' if you did not just cover up the reference material, but just used it really as a reference to create your flower. Even the green and purple portions could be made from the source by using color changes (hue/saturation) .

nice seal -- a shadow would help this

Very cute!

Very good job. But shadow is definitely missing.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEE.. I used to do this as a kid... cute entry author.. good luck and thanks for the memories (I'm in Florida now.. so no more snow.. sigh)
