This looks amazing! But maybe you should experiment with the background a little more?

very ethereal.. wowowowowow..good luck author.. shading is wonderful

EDIT: Making an L on my forehead.. should have known it was you ... wondrous

So interesting!

Thats really cool. Nice work

nice idea.. good work.. gl

Who would ever think of a flower- that's creative thinking for you! The swirl in the background is just a great idea for creating movement in the image!

Thanks a lot for nice comments guys!!!

Interesting piece & a nice departure from the norm.

nice idea

now are here too flowers and with already high marks you will make background too colored, like it is in flowers, if you care... good luck!

Very good!

Good thinking, nice blend...

very interesting, good work

Nice Work....... Author.........Good Luck.

Creative and nice looking. I 'd like to change color of ground, so object get better focus. Its better to change background with some other space background

nasirkhan: thanks a lot for comment! I tried to change background color and tried find right image for bg, and it wasn't good... so I left it like this... Thanks for advice my friend!

Off-course final decision is upto you liking Still great image

the galaxy I come from (that one in the bg), we get sand planets, water planets, lava planets... wow, you guys have turtle planets too? ))) gl, author!

i like this

For me is like an invisible extraterrestrial crature who is singing and have a dress made of turtle shells. Look closer, it's singing opera.

looks full of life

The turtle flower thing is OK but the background is not workin for me...sorry, gl

i think something is missing

Abstract, very creative

nice

Love space scenes

Nice creation. For some reason this reminds me a bit on a scene from Aliens (Ripley seeing all these eggs...*brrr*). As some other people say, the galaxy background looks a tiny bit off, especially since there seems to be some lightsource coming from the left, while at the same time you also have a pretty heavy light from the middle. You wouldnt prefer a more natural star background? Good luck!

wazowski thanks for comment and advice! I'll try to change background!!! About light source from left, I think you right! But when I was busy with image, I thought that on the left side there more brighter (closer) source of light, like sun or planet or... Thanks again

I love the new background, and wish I could have voted higher...good luck!

Thank you CMYK!
lchappell: you were absolutely right about background, why I didn't listen to you and didn't change it few days ago? Thanks!

very beautiful, good luck

looks great after the background change

excellent

Congratulations!!! ( by the way....if this, it's a space flower...i am a tree...realy...))...)

Congratulations for 1st

Congrats!

wow u won....congrats my friend

Congrats Olga, this is beautiful!

Congratulations.

Thanks for congrats guys and for help to improve it!

Congrats!

Teriffic concept!!!

lovelylovely good luck!

Nice! most of your elements are blending well. However, the grass is too sharp/bright and the same goes for the pillars of the dock. The perspective is a little off for the bench, but I don't know if you can fix it. The rest looks great though!

aw thats nice, good work, why is the boat sinking? lol, Can I see a high res please

this is just so nice.. might want to tweak the size of the tree closes to the viewer.. it seems to want to be bigger in my eyes.. but not necessary.. good luck!!!

Much better author.. good LUCK

createive and pleasent to the eye i like it good luck

Hey Everyone!! Thanks for the great comments! They really helped me a lot...I fix the grass and the pillars of the dock so that they blended better with the scene and hopefully are not so bright. I tried to fix the perspective on the bench but I don't think that it worked very well. I also increased the size of the tree on the left of the house. Plus I added a filter to the entire image to gain a cohesive look. Hope you like it!!!

much better! good work!

Some attention to light source would improve this...good luck.

excellent work here.. u may want to do some work on the coastline.. its is too uniform... some waves like effect will make it more great looking.. but that is just my opinion.. gl

very nice home. good work, light on the stones are too bright, reduce it

very nice!!

Interesting idea!!

I decided to do some "remodeling" and add a back deck with some furniture.

nice image

well done, gl

Congratulations for 2nd

Congrats!

Congratulations.

Congrats!

Proportion of the shell to the snail is off, but good idea...

Nice blending, and I would also suggest you tilt the shell a little to make it seem more natural :P gl!!

Really like the idea of a snail with a turtle shell. Great use of the source image and i guess that's the whole point of the contest.

perfect

goood job

nice idea good luck!

haha! nice

nice

Thats awesome

lol@snurtle

Very well done! Suggestion: You have a white border around the cut out shell. Try eliminating that and I think that the shell will look that much more natural in the scene. Great job and good luck!!

looks very natural...i mean part of nature

Nice blending

so simple and so cute ... good luck!!!!

Proportion of the shell to the snail is wrong!try to fix.good luck!

nice

nice work

Very creative!

nice

Nice image, I like the colors. But yes, if you can get rid of the little white outline around the shell (like musicj19 also mentioned), would do this entry good. Good luck!

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats!

Pretty ok construction. Perhaps some of the bottom can be cropped. Good luck!

you did very well, keep going

nice

ooo new model! cool! good luck!

it's soooooo CUTE.. I wish cars came int that kinda paint. it would make life so interesting.. GOOD LUCK and awesome skills

good work

Good work!

SOO CUTE !! Nice work !

Nice one. Maybe give some more shape to the rearview mirror. t could help if you use a new part from the shell for the mirror. Good luck!

COOOLL!!!

very cute

Neat idea and nice application of texture, but you might want to learn to use the pen tool for masking those long smooth curves. Many people are intimidated bythe pen tool, but for long, smooth curves, it can't be beat! Good luck.

very well done

OMG i like this alot good baground and reflection and idea high mark here

you did very well, keep going
