Very nice

author.. only if you have time.. think about flipping the tree to enclose around the house and the swings to hold it in.. just an idea.. right now it seems the whole image is spreading out (especially the smoke rings) it's like your eyes are going out ward instead of holding the viewer's attention (IMHO)... Its a really well done chop.. but if the tree was OVER the house it would give you a much more stable composition.. (you know.. the Last Supper.. where everyone in the pic is focused on a central subject.. the great JC).. just a suggestion.. good work here and good luck and great job at managing so many sources...

Wonderful idea. Though I do agree with Drivenslush but I think the author's intention was to hang the swinging benches over the edge of the cloud. Maybe if the house and tree were a little closer together or the smoke were to drift towards the tree, it would close the composition a little more.

Drivenslush and Mad, thx for constructive comments, that's the idea, you let the chairs out of the cloud...

Very cute, but agree that the image is too spread out, with too much negative space.

Nice work

very cool image author...love the bright positive feel on your creation...best of luck

Love it!

wonderful, good luck!!

Slushy's comment nailed it IMO ... very clever work but composition is a little disturbing. Good image all the same.

Very nice in high res! GL author.

Would fit in well framed in a contemporary high rise apartment. Nice job, good luck!

Great work...it's beyond surreal. It made me smile...since at first I thought they were crash test dummies being used to test park benches. It then became thought provoking. Nice job!

Really strange... I like it!!
Good luck!

nice image!! very original entrie! GL

Great creativity and execution

WOW!

Absolutely fascinating image ... you have created a unique and diverse piece here ... it has a subtle message and I am going to fav it so I can keep coming back and see if I can figure out what it means (to me).

Just love it...simple but very impressive

Very modernistic approach, clever work, author. I'm not sure what it means, but that's what makes it true art!

Beautiful work here... love the dummies and the way you used your imagination to create this entry. GL

It is an interesting work. Like the way you used the source image.... good luck.

Congrats!!

Fantastic warping author...its fantastic how u achieve form of the source with all that warping...i would like to know how to do that...best of luck

before I had warp, I used to use Polar Coordinates all the time (the trick is to place the MASKED item at different points on the field before you apply the polar filter (if it's centered you always get the predictable circle, but if you move it to the side or to the base you get many fascinating shapes, but I have to admit, the warp tool really spoils me, much more control, the puppet warp is great because you can move items below and above itself without a lot of distortion, (the old days I would cut and paste til my fingers bled) thank you very much for your kind words

I agree. You do such amazing things with sources. Great job again!! GL

Great work and I agree with erathion, how'd you do it!!! Seriously though, well done and an unusual image!

Nice work on the helmet.., good job

*smiling* Love the 'helmet' and the rest of the armor, so creative. I hope no kitties were harmed in the making of this entry! LOL, a true 'tuxedo' cat, sweet baby.

oh she's a tuxedo alright, not a sweet baby, got her just before 9-11, and she's been a pain in the butt ever since, all she does is eat, sleep and poop, sigh, and I don't think I could make it through the day without her

You did a good job making this a kind of Samurai.... cool, I hope you make it to the best seven. Good luck...

WHERE WERE YOU EARLIER GEORGE55!?!?!?!?!,, omg.. I never saw the samurai, now I DO.. dammit.. I could have added a shield and a sword.. gosh darnit!!! great thinking

Congrats on 4th but it's a shame what you put your cat through! Bloating her eyes and stuf!!

hehe, the newspaper is a nice add on

lol cute, clever entry

It is cute ....gl to you author.
