that a good idea nice pic

great

nice ideea

excelent idea!! i really like it, just two nit picks, everything has great lighting except the sunflowers and seagull, which lighting doesn't match the rest. The other suggestion i have, is that the visual zone that atracts more in an image is the upper right quadrant, and right now it's totally empty, that somehow gives the feeling like something is missing, and that's accented by the fact that the four finger tips and the right side of the tree completes a rectangle, i suggest you to place the seagull in the mid space between the 2 middle finger tips and the top of image

hope i made myself clear, if there's anything you'd like to ask , don't doubt to contact me...

Thanks a lot for that huge and helpful comment, Mike! I'll change it, as soon as possible

I love the feel of this pic, author...you did a great job! (Just one small thing: if you flip the seagull it will match your light source). Good luck!

I like this pic, really great work, I too have a slight nitpik, it is about the blurred edge below the thumb, before the wrist. Should this area be blurred? My eye seems to go straight to it.

Great use of the source!Great chop!

that looks awsome

Nice work.. This looks familiar for some reason??

Thank you all very very much for your nice comments I flipped the bird, changed it's position and tried to work on the sunflowers. Thanks Mike and CMYK
@Richie: No, that shouldn't be blurred... seems like I was a little bit too enthusiastic with my eraser
@animmax: I don't know why it looks familiar to you, but I swear, that I didn't steal anything. Ask my mom... She was suffering for 2 hours, because I asked her all the time, what I can add

Good Job.

Very nice...

Very clever. She just needs some music up there to make life complete.

I think its art

very very beautiful, good luck

Very nice, looks very nice

Nice one GL!

Author: I hope you didn't take my comment that you were stealing?? I just said it looked familiar to me? I cannot place where or why.. No accusations involved.. Honest..

wonderful idea author everything was well put together.

Very Nice idea Author.......G/L.

Great idea and nice work

awesome!!

Thanks again for all your nice comments and favs
@animmax: I just wanted to make that clear I know, that you didn't meant it like that

great entry - the idea is wonderful and the execution almost perfect... I have only few suggestions: if the hand is made by grass, shouldn't be the edges more fluffy? And the girl seams to have a slight shadow around her, and she cannot drop in reality that shadow unless the sky is a piece of paper... but, overall, it's a wonderful entry, good luck

nice image.... good job author

@Hymerion: Thank you for your suggestions I already tried to make the edges more fluffy, but it looked so bad and I wasn't satisfied with the result at all, so I decided to leave it this way. Concerning the girl: I'm not really sure what you mean, I don't see a shadow around her?!?

great idea!!!

I like it very much well done!

very neatly done! nice

very good image

Nice outcome, author . I do think Hymerion has some good advices about the grass shape for the edges of the hand. It doesnt have to be all around, but what you can try is juuuuust use a bit of smudge tool to make a suggestion that there's more than a sharp edge. And I also see some kinda aureol around the girl, or at least on the right side. Doesnt have to be bad for the entry though . Good luck!

very nice work, different

great work

This is nice...

So great! Lovely picture : )) Super good job author.

Very good work, well done. I really like the work you ahve done here, nice one

congrats for 1st

Congrats!!

Congraaaats

you made it??? congrats, mit drücker!!!

congrats!

Light beams should radiate from the same point, otherwise a good image. Nice mood and color.

Love the mood...Very Beautiful Image...Good Luck

good work -- shadow is very nice

very nice idea.

Love the mood, the only thing that gets me is the BG I think the hands/arms are stretched a bit much, they look like you just grabbed the smudge tool and said "screw it." I would have like to have seen a stronger DOF so they fall further out of focus, or more substance to their mids. Also, if you going to put the Ying Yang in there, it should be placed in a position where it can be the light source, it's a little weird for it to just hand in the middle of the frame when your light is coming from the left. Over all good job. Great use of color filters.

Really nice! Great work

beautiful

great

Great image and mood! There's a delicateness to this yet it's very powerful.

Very cool image great imagination!

meaningful, nice work

thats awsome. I like the color and the mood on this pic, you have a great imagination and the tree (and how you did it) is very very good. very dreamy. well done author!

great

Congrats! Well done!

Congratulations for 2nd, great pic.

Congrats

Congrats!!

Congraaaats ... Nicely done!

congrats

Thanks for Your comments and votes.

add a fairy. and THEN it will be Cliche... giggle snort.. (Cornelia is going to kill me LOL) very well done finish author... Great Technique

EEEEKKKKKK!!!
I love fairies.. on toast with lots of butter

That was the fastest comment i've ever seen! Thanks GolemAura xD

nice pic

well done

I love Universe images and this one is beautiful with or without fairy By the way GolemAura adores fairies but never admits it making every endeavour to play a serious man

The truth about this site's members is coming out!

good colors but i don't like the title

No? What do you suggest? My other title would've been The World In Your Hands, but i though that would've made it even more cliche :p

Thanks Nator!!

freaky

Nice job...If you call this "Bowling with planets" it won't be a cliche...

I think you made a stunning image I never would have thought of it

I would make your clouds a little more solid.. The edges of the hands coming to the bottom of the image make the clouds look weak? I would boost them a little.. IMHO. Also you should not let other people play with your planets.. The one in the top left has a flat spot?

Ahh that was me doing things the complicated way and liquifying some stars out of the way animmax, thanks for the comments everyone!

nice idea i like it and good luck!

Thanks RGB!!

good work

very good

Has a real nice texture to it. Good Job and good luck. (Are those space birds?"

Love this image, great work for sure!

Thank you Akassa and Dreamdriven. Haha, Chaplain.. truth is i'm not sure what they are.. but why the hell not? Let's call 'em space birds!! xD

Very nice work, this concept cannot be a bad one

Thanks!

Congrats! Well done!

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats

Congrats!!

Congrats for 3rd!

Thanks to everyone!!

congrats

Thanks!

nice feel

Nice work - but if thats the light source why is there shadow on the hands?? Maybe try and colour match out the shadows?

i will give it a try

Looks better already!

love the texture feel... very good work on this author.. over all tones are wonderful

just another update ... added some blur on the fingertips and lighten them up. Also I lighted up the fire. (sry for my bad english)

Very interesting & creative work!

cool, very mystical. I like it

cool

very nice blend.. good luck on this one.. so simple yet so effective..light source will be issue because her head is blocking the direct light onto the hand.. but still a brilliant Idea.. good luck

thanks GolemAura! i've removed that hotspot on the thumb

Very nice -- looks like they were always together

Truly nice blend. Really like this final result! A great shot!

Nice piece if blending you may want to consider adding more shadow to the inside/palm of the hand looking at the young ladys face & neck...

What a sweet image. Pretty convincing too, though I might expect to see a bit more shadow from the girl on the hand. Maybe a supernitpick: add a clipping layer for the hand with a biiit of colored noise, so it will match better with the girl image's noise. Good luck!

hand is little big compare to the face....but a good job

i've added more shadows on the palm. i hope you like it!

Very nice this looks real, does not look photoshopped at all which is the main point of good work, nice one

cool

Super job looks much better more realistic & natural

Hand is way too big...

CMYK46, don't be so sure it's that big. the proportions are about right imo. actually, i tried that yesterday on a friend and my hand looked like that on her face. and i'm no giant!

nicely blended and very good use of the source image .. GL
