You know that if instead of that guy you put a chick ( and it should be fairly easy to do so: change face, a bit of warp, a bit of liquify), no one will observe that the fire is unrealistic
If you then wanna fix the fire, you could try to find a lantern ( like this one : http://www.sxc.hu/photo/500803), and place the fire made out of BG's source in it: it would look more natural, imo.
You have a nice idea and mood here, by the way.

Love the Puppet Warp work.. excellent job!! good luck

Very funny !

LOL, yes, very funny, greymval!

I could easily have found and used a real fire, but that would defeat my intent to use the source. : )

Thank you, all!

alot of work author.... well done, turned out great

Great work and nice SBS!

Very nice work, great mood.

Very mysterious image!
Just one thing: you cut model's right elbow...

ok thanks eri fix

the front spider on her lap is at a wrong angle as it is on the "web-net" and not flat on her lap.

somehow, i felt the ninja girl in black should be placed in the bushes, a more assasin-like fashion, juz a suggestion

one has to wonder what she is hanging from when its clear she is well into the water where no trees are hanging.
The lighting on the hanging girl is coming straight down where as in the backgroung it looks like its coming from the left of screen.
The girl in the water would not be so bright and would also be smaller, she looks bigger that the rocks behind her in the waterfall, and I only say this because you can see the water base near her legs which is throwing off the size.

HUahuaha... Cute and creative!

LA LA LA LA LA LA! and a WEEEEE

The jumping salmon is very crudely extracted, with very sharp edges and a noticeable outline from the original background.

The contest source cloning you did for the bear is likewise quite crude and repetitive in patterning for the chest and stomach. The direction of the "fur" looks sideways, rather than vertical, which makes the cloning job look even worse.

The "pendulous breast" highlights between the chest and belly are non-existent in real bears. They don't have two breasts that weight would emphasize like that.

This is a good concept, but you need to be better aware of what you are attempting to render. Perhaps looking at some grizzly bear images would help. You also need to put a bit more effort into "seamless" cloning that is not so obvious, as well as taking more time to extract images with a bit more care so they do not look so harshly "cut and paste."

You might also consider cropping at least 1/3 of the empty blue sky off the top. It adds nothing to you image except too much dead space which detracts from your focal point, the bear.
