HOLY CHIT BATMAN! I love this! Very nicely done!!!!!

ok now I need to pic yer brain... but gotta get PS first

I don't know if it is on purpose,but this first guy lost his shadow??

Crap! Thanks! Definitely not on purpose

Thanks for the tip.. Duke! (your avatar)

boring...... still a same idea which someone already used before

Uh, oh, Bingbong forgot his/her TACT home.
It might not be very original but it looks good, the only problem I have with this image is that i don't like the warped chain rings that now have a 2D effect, and that the left one is smaller than the right one. But these mistakes could exist cause you ran out of time or something, i guess.

yes the idea is lil bit common here but the execution was well done tho,.......well I am sort of agreeing bingbong 'the my grumbling mom sounded like girl' ....hehehe

love the shadow!

"insert sarcasm here"

Hey bingbong88 way to break rule #3.4:

Don't make negative comments without suggestions for improvement. (eg. "THIS SUCKS", "WHAT A MESS", "LOW VOTE FROM ME", ...) The author will be discouraged by these comments can do absolutely nothing with them. There's nothing wrong with critique. But, it should come with a suggestion. * DON'T talk about your favorite holiday destination in someones entry. "end sarcasm"

I know it's a common effect and tequniue! It's Droste effect! Guess what Bingbing:
Jimmy crack corn, AND I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Besides I've seen your portfolio. Why don't you place in something first before you go around saying something sucks because I feel like Pot, and you seem like Kettle.

Thank everyone else for the comments!

And yes Greymval, I ran out of time. The idea came to me and I wanted to put it into effect while I had time.

bingbong088, I have to say just a little something here. I myself have "TRIED" to duplicate pictures that I have seen as soooo wonderful and eye-appealing. I have also been called out on it (in a more constructive way) but those same people have also understood that there are lot of shots out there that MANY will LOVE and MANY will TRY or SUCCEED in duplicating or even making better. One picture inparticular was the below link and I tried to do it when I first started photography to see if I could learn such thing as to make what I like seeing. I was not able to at the time and then I thought recently I made it work.

http://www.pxleyes.com/photography-picture/4cef32d2b35ff/Til-Death-do-we-Part---.html

Now in the case of here... I know the photographer can do sooo much with the talent this person has and I really like how the author has done this shot. I might not be a PS person but when I see this I really like it. YES I've seen it before but as someone once said...
We've seen a lot of shots a lot of times that we remember and will continue to see people replicate them. You could have asked..."haven't I seen this before?" and I'm sure this author as well as most others would come back with "yes, it's this person or photographer and I tried to replicate it or do kind of the same thing". Or something like that.
Just be open-minded to everyone. I've been in the situation before as you probably saw with the above link. It's not like they are claiming every idea as their own. When they do, then by all means, call them out

ok so it wasn't a "little somthing"... I have the gift... or curse of gab

shadow's edge seems way too sharp, blur it a tiny bit to make it look more realistic

I would if I could Kid...

i think the shadow is fine the way it is..and why not author?

Oh it could probably stand to do with a little more blur and maybe less opacity. It's too late because it's past the submission (and editing) deadline.

im famouse person right now lol everyone just need to aim on me that all
its my opinion whatever u think yah im hater .....lol

y make it so serioous idont get it
and another person aim on me get benefit as well
???

How doesn't another person benefit from you commenting "boring" on their entry? They DON'T.

You know what's really boring??? Your portfolio.

Great work and just ignore the foolishness. Not worth your time ... it is better spent creating lovely artwork like this one!

Yeah, I know but it's just more fun to put them in there place

Extremely great droste effect...well made author...best of luck

The drost effect is a bit trite and overworked as a concept, but your execution is very good!

Now THIS was better than I expected

nice conceps and execution, good luck!

I really like the composition of this....my only nitpick is the lighting....See how the glow off the lamp is yellow it would put out a softer yellow tone which should reflect in the water in the umbrella IMO...Best of Luck

Wow....very nice image and composition...
I like your artwork.....good luck,my friend.....

WOW! Very nice work here. :?)

Great work on this piece author...best of luck

Impressive mood piece ... there is some technical problems but as a piece of artwork without considering the technical I think it is a wonderful image. If you have any questions on the technical PM me ... but IMO the image has quite a lot of depth and expression just the way it is!

A bit too much "negative space." This would have looked better with some judicious cropping of the sides. Good composition and concept, though!

looks cool. the drops of water have an outline tho could blend them a little better

Nice job with lighting consistency!

I love how you did the water ripple effect, Great job!

This is a great idea! It looks like there's a question mark or something above his head, is that suppose to be there? I agree with
Bompy about the outline on the droplets and the shadow on the umbrella from the bottom drop looks a little dark. I usually don't nitpick but this is just too cool to not be perfect.

Oh never mind my comment about the question mark above his head. I see it's on the original. I would get rid of it anyway.

very very nice work with the reflection author...GL

Great rain effects

Really nice...

Best of luck my friend!

Thanks Adhir and Ponti... I'm so happy to receive a comment from a artist like yoU!

Two boats with identical damage? One would be enough, and improve the composition. The one at left is not necessary.

Well you're right. But I can't imagine the composition with only one damage. So I replace left one with different boat.

Very nice contrast, movement, and lighting. Well done.

Nice idea, well executed! GL!

oOo scary! And that guy is crazy, why isn't he running for his life?!?!?! lol. Very creative idea, and nicely done!

only nitpick with this entry is maybe the size of the umbrella but still a creative take on the theme. GL!

thanks Jawshoewhah! is the size of the umbrella small or big????

nice creation ..........

well done author...i like it..

Quite an interesting graphic feel. Very original way of presenting it! Great!

I thought it was a little small but it's so surreal already, it doesn't really matter.

Same answer. GL!

Very dreamy and movie...y...lol. Nice colors. I like it!

i really love this one

very very cool work author...GL

Very cute, would be perfect for childrens book illustration = )
