nice work author...best of luck

thnx for the comment

This is not bad, except for her reflection on the puddle, a few masking problems and the minimal use of the source.
Instead the mood & composition work well.

This is a very nice composition but i have to agree with Greymval, the source provided for the contest played a very small roll in this....you could have just as easily done with out it.

very very nice work author...reflection is great...best of luck

great reflection.....good job

Good reflection! And different from your source image! Great work, I hope I will pull this off some day!

nice job.....

Where's the horizon line?

CMYK: There is no horizon line in this image. It is just a background, with some texture all around.

Sorry, I should have said waterline.

Do not be sorry Bob: I got wild smudging around, and lost it.... but put it back.....

I think the butterflies and girl need to be better blended and adjusted to look as if they actually belong in this environment. Although you've used a reflection, it's not all gelling together very well. Maybe try playing around with the hue-sat levels of the girl and add some filters and highlights to her to make her look like she belongs in this pink, dreamy universe.

lots of fun put into this.. good luck author

I would remove the white edges around the orange butterfly and adjust the shadow underneath the bird (maybe try a different blend mode?) I'm not too sure about the transparency of the model, but i think it;s a really nice idea, and your smudged background in the sbs looks great

Thanks for suggestions, made some little adjustments to the original image.

this is very nice idea,colors are matched very well...i am not sure is that what u want but there is a lot masking problems...on girl stomach,right arm and on background...if u want that effect then i understand but IMHO would be better if u clean this author...Sorry for nit picks...

erathion: I did not want to take away some of the source image from the image of the girl. That masking was intentional. I wanted this image to look as it is. If I clean the masking over the girl's body, it would look as if she was floating in the air. I just wanted some blending of the source image over the girl.... thanks for suggestions any way.

Very pretty!

beautiful

It is beautiful but I wish I could see more detail in your main subject. Maybe if you selectively increase the contrast and saturation in some areas, it won't feel as washed-out. The blending of her dress against the background could be improved as well.

magically fun!

Very very nice work author...i love winter feel on your entry...best of luck

Beautiful image, however can't but to notice that the girl's reflection is positioned directly below her as if it were a shadow.If that is a reflection then it lines up with the base of the street light which would then make her just as tall as the light post or even taller...Its a great composition none the less...great job! best of luck!

very nice image, great use of the source, I would loose step 14 in the sbs, the extra snow / light bulbs, they don't do it for me, but that is my opinion! Never the less I like it anyway, good luck author!

Nice image, not enough contrast and definition with the girl for me. Feels a little washed out.
