The yellow cast is too distracting.

Yes, I think so too. The yellow is to much, the image would have looked better using a brownish color. Probably a dual tone? any way....good luck.

The cupcake looks blurry compared to the source photo.

yep, just noticed that and about to change it. Thanks for the comment

LOL, this is funny. Good idea author and good luck!

Nice source find and good idea with original contest image. Perhaps soften the edges of hand/cupcake. Nice job, author!

Nice idea..... and good use of the source, blending it together with the hand / cupcake. Good luck!

Imagination counts! Again..... good job! GL.

Nice atmosphere, but the kid's a bit too dark & grainy compared to the rest of the image.

Thanks for your feedback!
I made a few changes, think it looks better now

Looks the same to me.

Its not, trust me
I like it this way..
Thanks!

It looks ok,,,, but you could give the kid's face a little highlight. Good luck!

Thanks George55!

some minor masking needs fixed on the kid...The white balance of the helicopter is cooler than the warm white balance on the kid. Also adding a new layer of grain over the kid would help blend it in to the grainy helicopter source. Just those little things that bring an image together. Good Luck!

thanks for that

After looking at the high res I felt that the glass of the window is just behind the girls head ! . Try working on the reflections of the glass and blending ! IMHO . GL
