wonderful animals!!! good luck author

very cute entry! good job author

This is good.

Many thanks to all for the support

Great entry. IMHO the bottom of the "main mint" is not much credible. If you wanted to merge it with the clouds you should put near clouds between the mint and the camera (or just a little fog with a smooth brush). Anyway, great entry, good luck!

Maybe use different kids on every mint so there is some variation? just my opinion. Good luck author!

Thank you guys. I took both your advices. I hope you like it better now.

Much better! IMO

Edit: Maybe blur the girls on the third cloud back. They look a little crisp, almost as crisp as the kid in the foreground IMO. I know I'm probably being annoying author but I'm just trying to help Good luck!

Congratulations!

Thank you all

As a newbie how do I know if a image has already been manipulated?

Good question author. Many times it's obvious, but not always. All I can say is try to develop a sharp eye. Sometimes the author of an image will say it's been manipulated in the description. GL on your entry.

Great concept for this source! LOL@the title, pity the poor birds breathing the recycled mint gas.

creative chop, I really like the smoke at the top, nice effect! Good luck!
