Author you're going to have to show the purchase of this photo (the link above is the source of the two people). You must also include where you got the back ground. (I couldn't find that one). Good luck, it's a fun idea.

Good to see your sources author. But I'm afraid you can't use the Pre Drawn Illustration (The Badge on Stein) You can't use drawings by other people as part of your work. Don't worry, Spaceranger and the other mods will be happy to help you. It wouldn't be that big of a lost because the over all chop is excellent. Great job. ...and really neat work. The Lederhosen and the legs are hysterical. Great thinking.

Author, you also need a source for the foam overflowing the stein. It's not in the stock photo provided. Also take a look at the scale of the figures...they're giants compared to the background image.

The image of the town has been altered by the owner and is Copyright: Boris Stroujko. The image is available from shutterstock however manipulated images are not permitted as sources on Pixeleyes. You'll have to replace it with an acceptable source.
This similar image is found on Wikipedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rothenburg_BW_4.JPG and can be used. Compare it to the image you used: http://www.his-j.com/kix/europe/img/area/germany/mainbox_min01_large.jpg and you can see how the color was enhanced a great deal. Only minor adjustments made to the original source image is acceptable, not an extensive color enhancement.
The image of the foam is acceptable using a CC license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ requiring attribution be given.

You'll have to make these changes or the Contest Moderator will send you a warning and your entry will be removed until it has been corrected.

hehehe, Author, Welcome to the wonderful world of photoshop competition (you have been given a right smack bottom BY EVERYBODY) Including me (and I'm super sweet, just like a corpse flower )and a Mod (Just kidding, but don't test them, I've heard they have a dungeon that they use to place bad Photoshoppers in listening to Justin Bieber Songs on a loop and you're only allowed to watch interviews with Paris Hilton on TV... but that's all rumor).
Actually, with the depth of comments on your entry, that usually means we all see A LOT of talent and just want to steer you in the right direction so you can have a finished product that is truly yours and can be used publicly and privately. (Those copyright laws can really nip you in the butt as well as gallery managers who require you to "Prove" your work, not to mention uppity Disney Lawyers who have more money than God and get all bent out of shape because you used the same color scheme as the Hulk Sleeping Bag they sell in WalMart and they just want to "INFORM" you to watch yourself.

ANYWHO.. great job again, and keep up the good work (Spaceranger is Awesome to get help from if you have any questions.. just don't stand over the curious square in front of his desk... it's all rumor, but it's best to be careful)

Thank you everyone for the help

I'm glad the Wikipedia image worked for you, boosting the saturation was a good idea, looks good to me!

The source for the foam is okay and the link will suffice for the attribution required. That site has an unusual way to handle images but the link does show the license and the origin of the image.

Technically a link showing the image with the author's name and information about the image is enough to satisfy the attribution requirements. I like to use the text for the link to include the author's name even if no attribution is required. I feel it's the polite thing to do.

The figures are still too large compared to the scale of the background image.

still working it - btw

WOO HOO... all fixed, great job author

Check the source photo. You've lost the small black shadow under the original. This one looks like it's floating. Good job otherwise.

Got to love that webbing coming out of the door, really throws it over the top. Great usage of the source

I do like the image and I agree it's a good use of the source. My only critique is the outline of the mushroom, I think it would look better without it IMHO.

Updated it as suggested by Spaceranger!!! And I love it now...

Nice BW contrast with colored metal holder.

Check perspective (comparative eye level), and shadow. I think you could have removed the rope, too.

I like it!!!

What version of Photoshop has the Squish tool?? Creative work.

nice use of the turkey leg distort tool, most people don't turn that toolbar on. It is under->options->toolbars->poultry
