beautiful ....

the only thing I think you need to change is the shadow under the spider, it's too dark. Otherwise I admire this image

Great work ... very moody and almost surreal. Love the intensity in the sky and the starkness of the landscape! Bravo!

fantastic ..........

Great work

Figure is distorted. Hold shift key when resizing.

Thanks CMYK...I thought it was distorted too but after staring at the source image for so long my eyes were beginning to play tricks on me!

I have gone back and made changes Thanks

Sorry, but it's still distorted...try doing an overlay with the source pic. GL.

Beautiful... but, as CMYK said, girl's image is still distorted (head is slightly stretched). And the curtain upper edges need to be sharp like lower ones.

Thanks CMYK and Erikuri for you helpful suggestions...I have gone back and started from the beginning, but I think I have fixed the distortion. Thanks again for your suggestions...they are very helpful to me

Thanks Nator for your nice comment!

Still a little bit distorted ( if you look too the head)
But I don't get the upside of the picture of the girl, you should fix it little bit more.
It also looks like the girl is floating or something..
well good tough !

Not sure how you are seeing it distorted still since the image was not changed in anyway...Go look at the source image for the girl and you be the judge

Thanks for the comments

Lol think I just had a bad day ?

Since there is no visible form of attachmentat the top of the fabric, I would suggest cropping it to run off the page. The bottom 3/4 is very effective, but the way the drapes end at the top leave me confused. good luck!

Pingenvy thanks for the suggestion...Unfortunately my computer crashed so I won't be able to try your suggestions...Keep your fingers crossed I can get up and running SOON

I like it author,mood is perfect...good luck

Congrats Christy...well done

congrats

Congrats!!

congrats for your 3rd place

beautiful!!!!!

You should make some more adjustmends on every layer so that it looks like it is one image and not a few images copied and pasted!
( I recommend to just play with some curves, brightness, contrast, hue, saturation etc)
GL

Lol , Acromentula ? Good luck author

Thanks for the advice Nickk.

Ok, I fixed each layer. It looks much better now. Thank you!

omg, gives me goosebumps O_O good job

You're right, I don't!

Yup it indeed looks
Much better now :d !

Great job author...well done

nice idea == you need to remove part pf the wood frame from the top -- should not be there

I agree with Alan; how about cloning or copying and pasting part of the frame on the part to be hidden?

The lighting on the reindeer looks weird, it doesn't match the source image. Also the fur on the hat has too much of a red cast, while the reindeer has a yellow cast, neither of which go well with the fully desaturated source. The apple just looks out of place with all the grime and cobwebs. It's too clean and fresh looking. The reindeer would have eaten it...
