looks like the helicopter is inside the bridge, the light has to pass between the metal structure .
I think you need to fix it , it will looks better and more realistic !

Na verdade este efeito foi proposital, dada intensidade da luz e suas propriedades ondas e particulas o que gera uma sensação de transparencia no objeto ao qual ela é desferida. To bricando na proxima eu corrijo abraços. ^_^

Good mood, I like the light from the helicopter and the general action. Vexycon does have a point though. Perhaps it would work better already if the helicpter would have less contrast/ some more blur, so that it looks less pasted. Good luck!

Really nice movement! This is supposed to be a anonymous contest, you might want to remove your name from the bridge.

Pessoal eu estou me adptando as regras daki, deveria ter me informadado melhor. Mais garanto que das proximas veses não procedeirei dessa forma. Agradeço pela paciencia de todos inclusive a moderação. Um abraço.

Very dynamic image and excellent execution Spark reflection on windscreen is a nice touch..
P.S. as Chalty669 said ,remove signature from the bridge .

Guys I was offline for almost 2 hours .... went back to my image does not fold easily ... no .. you will realize in time .....

One of the best works in the contest for sure...Love the sparks addition and angle of the helicopter is great...cool camera spots also...best of luck author

Thanks my friend, this only encourages me to strive more to make work better ... hugs.

The effects: lights, sparks, speed are awesome. It's only that purple fog in the left, bringing it down. It looks like a cloud filter. Maybe fog and levels overlayed over the original BG, would work better.
Anyway, this is one of the best around, no doubt.

Congrats!!

congratulation...

tank"s......im happy........very happy.

Congrats on 1st, nice work

Congratulations on a terrific entry!!!

Congrats, well deserved.

WONDERFUL.. just a tad more definition to the tack.. but if you are happy with it.. then it's fine.. I'm just looking at HI RES.. and the blur does take over the image (IMHO).. good luck and great job!!!

Really interesting image ... I do agree with Driven on the Tack blur ... but it is only noticeable in High res.

@Drivenslush and arca: Thanks for your input. I've removed quite a bit of blur now, but am trying to establish depth where the balloon and hand are in focus and the tack being so close to the foreground is slightly blurred. I keep thinking realistically both objects wouldn't be in focus and am trying to keep the balloon and hand the center subject. Does that make sense? I hope so.

Great concept, but the entire image is too blurry, except for the balloon, which is so far back, yet crystal sharp. The fuzzy looking hand next to it just compounds the overall incongruity...Also, if the back end is enclosed, where is that light source on it coming from???

Thanks MossyB for your observations. I missed the light thing on the elevator bottom. Thanks. I darkened it. Looks better. I removed all the blurriness of the shot. Looks clearer. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

Fantastic work and amazingly cool perspective...u did really really cool small details as door edges, preservation of graffiti and pin of course...best of luck author

very good........

There are a few masking probs. but overall it's a good final result.
I appreciate your try of making DOF, sorry it didn't work -instead, making some dust would & should have looked really better.

Congratulations! Really fun image!

Congrats PK....another intelligent and well executed piece. Personally, I liked the blur.

Congrats!!

congratulation...

spooky fun

EDIT: Now I remember.. Daygoba where Yoda Lives!!! that's what this reminds me of.. it was driving me nuts

Very very nice moody work...love the blue-ish feel on this one...best of luck author

Very cool!!!

Beautiful entry.... My fav

Fantastic ...........

Really cool concept here, and great integration of the stone face into the tree. Icy, surreal, I like this one a lot! ;-D

congrats angel baby

Congratulations!

Congrats!!

congratulation...

this is great

olha montagem e manipulação perfeitas.... luz e sombras inquestionaveis........harmonia explendida...só pecou num ponto: descaracterizou bastante......o tema principal ficu bastante omisso..mais parabens vc é um artista fabuloso.

Really nice mood here, author!

Stunning image but not much of the source left

A suggestion for future thought ... when you CBR the source (chop beyond recognition) you might get a better score if you submit it to Mixed Manipulations (there is usually one running every other week - MM11 is happening this week). I have noticed on this site that (sometimes) you will not get as high a score if the source is not visible. Lovely image though!

Your skill is improving day by day author. Specially in giving moods and lighting. Keep going..

The vignette effect around the edges is a bit overdone. It would be better if you just cropped the sides down, rather than sink them into a "black edged hole."

Have to agree with arca..good mood , perfect execution and beautiful dof.. BUT not source related !! ....even part of the bridge you've used is replaced with stone path

Thank you guys!

Ark and Derdevil, you're right, just after I finished work, I realized I had omitted the original source. Sorry about that, it was my fault! I wondered too!

And MossyB, thank your for your honesty!!! \o/

Very very nice mood author...love the portal or if u like more zoom effect...best of luck

@ Author ...no apology necessary The image is lovely and I can see how you got carried away in the creativity! Just thought if it happens again you might get higher votes in a non-source contest (but you never know) ;-D ...

from the whole competition this is my favorite..but the lack of the source did affect my vote..of course no apologies necessary..u've prooved ur a good artist, just next time incorporate the source some..GL

I fixed the image, I hope you agree more! \o/

Great save Author, You really came through on this piece (nice to see the source .. good luck I was a bit worried great now

ohhhh!! spot on

Wow ... excellent fix and fast work! I loved the original as well (hope you kept it)! But for this I think you will increase your rating. (I would love to have seen what the original would have done in a non-source contest. My guess is VERY WELL!).

It is great either way and you really did a wonderful job on the re-do!

Thanks for the support of you all! Thank you very much! In this challenge have no "intentions", just to participate!

Nice chick, awesome colors, and good SBS.

Thank you!!!

nice feel

Way too dark. The bridge is barely visible in the upper LH corner.

indeed very dark but I think that gives a special mood too the image so I like it !!

I really like this ... I do agree that it is a tiny bit too dark but only a little. IMO it would take away if you lightened it up too much. I have a pretty well calibrated monitor and I can just make out the bridge on the right and the left is pretty much not there. I think that with the amount of light coming from the center would have a bit more highlights on the railing etc. on the left.

As for the overall image ... it is really stunning and very dynamic!

thanks everyone!

Very very nice effective work author...best of luck

thnks erathion ^^

I like the dark feel. I think it's fine as it is.

What do you mean you didn't use any downloaded pictures? You had to download the source image, right? j/k GL!

Nice dark and spooky mood

jaws u'r right..ahahaha,, anyway...
