Beautiful!..Nicely done..Instant Fav.

It s a nice work, although the source is barely recognisable anymore it looks beautiful. It could have a little bit more depth though to bring the bird more to the foreground and stand out. im holding off my vote just a little longer

Very creative and beautifully executed ... I agree with Nator the source image is easily recognizable ... Great job Author ... High marks from me!

I also agree with Nator and on all points! Excellent work!

Nice work and beautiful image. I kinda wish the bottom areas weren't so 'liquified' looking but it doesn't detract from the nice work you've done!

excellent work author! like the printed tapestry look you gave it. good luck!

gratz well deserved!

Congrats, very nice work

Thanks for Your comments and votes.

Very peaceful piece... so tranquil. Great mood and blending as well!

I love the butterflies.. true talent there.

Peaceful and pretty. I'm not too surprised author! Nice work, author!

I like the butterflies, but i would like to have seen you repaint the flowers as well. the blend of whimsical painted objects and the realistic flowers contrast form each other too much and create too much conflict in the image. it would look amazing with the flowers treated like the butterflies.

Very elegant, I love the mood you created here. Good luck.

gratz!

Very cute ! Good luck author !

thanks

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEE!!! I want one for XMAS!!! great job

GL author.

thank you

Looks amazing, fantastic job author!

fantastic work...

thank you very much

good work sir, quite a feat to turn the flower into a bee, but couldn't the same be done with a jar of honey? or a bee hive, or a pickle? my point is, that you could have created this image from any source, so what is the point to enter a photoshop contest? you clearly have the drawing skills to win the drawing contests. especially sine the winner of this gets a free month subscription to a photo stock site... which you have clearly no use for since you hand drew all of your awesomeness. ;] Good luck Author, i am certain that you will be winning this contest.

thats a great compliment & thanks !

Good idea, but the daisy petals have pretty ragged edges in hi-res.

Dear CMYK46, i have followed your good advice and hope it's better now

Much better...GL author!

Love the muted color and foliage. Its really nicely done, author!

I love the background it matches so well with the image

beautiful work, good luck

Such a great job in composition and execution. Only thing that is keeping me from voting even higher is how her dress is blending in with the flower. it seems too feathered and blurred and not as well placed and cut as it could be. I do think this is the best entry in this contest and have very high hopes of seeing this doing well in the contest! Good Luck!

Thanks to all for your nice comments

Beautiful image, GL

Transition between the roots & body is dubious. Where's her left hand? Daisies just look like an add-on to the image.

The roots look to be in front of the body, making a very odd visual image, since she has no lower body, no left hand, and no rear end...
The forearm also appears to be overly thinned from the elbow down to the wrist.

why the flowers are so blurry is beyond me. i mean i know why they are blurred, but there is no reason for it other than laziness. While i like the idea of your composition, and some of the other issues have already been touched on, i will mention the flowers. They are blurred because you made the first ones small to place onto the tree and did not duplicate yourself an original of the larger sized flowers. then when you resized the small flowers to big ones it made them blurry. always save an original layer you can go back to with your objects.
