Really cool image!

looks familiar :P
could you add some texture to the zeppelin? i believe it will look more realistic, now looks like something modeled in some 3D modeling program.

little zeppelin near the city on the other hand looks realistic and really cool.

Very nice, but i think it's missing that city feel..meh it doesn't really matter. Great image, high marks, good luck!

It's not much of a city yet, it's under construction! OK Inanis, I knuckled under & added more texture to the zep...

it still looks odd... maybe because everything is metallic, except for the big zep?

I think it's very cool. a city floating above the clouds

Good to see this rerun, great work

Still lovin it!

Very nice result, you surely had alot of work and imagination building this.

yup this is defineatly a winner

Wow..this is a favorite well Done

nice work here!...gl..

Excellent Work Author

Really great image! This is a special entry!

maybe its just me but the perspective looks off on the module

It was good before and is still good now

This is great! I like the way the port city is covered by some clouds and the way that you don't see ANY ground, which lends itself to an endless float. Excellent job! Eye candy!!

congrats.

Congrats for your first place, Bob!

Congratulations for 1st

Congrats, really nice job

Congrats!

Congrats!

congrats!

Very imaginative. Fabulous work. I really love it!

clouds from the bottom look flat, and flame from rocket is not realistic, other than that it's a nice image.

The clouds look just the way they do in the source image

perhaps they look like that because it's photographed from below, but in your image to fit the perspective you shuold have some clouds photographed from above. i'm not even sure i'm right about that, but something is deffinitely not righdt. the way it is now, the clouds have too little detail to give real value to the image. for me atleast.

this is true, one way you could increase definition on those clouds is by duplicating scaling and rotating the existing clouds or the easier way would be to get a free cloud brush from DA. otherwise a dreamy image
edit: i'll explain myself, the clouds in front of the structure that you created look like there is a powerful light source right behind them while in your image there is city behind it even if the light source was there it would cast a shadow on the cloud but now if the light source where to be above everything just like it seems to be in your image the clouds would look like the image here http://alphabettr.com/images/cloud.jpg so that is what i mean when i say i think the clouds need more definition.
Still a very nice and creative image

I think it would look cooler with a brighter sky maybe deep blue...IMO but nice use of your sources the tower thingy looks good the saucer down front right could use some tweaking...nice work

Inanis & slayyou, I'm sure you think you know what you're talking about...I don't.
@ lchappel,, there's no saucer down left. The one down right is blurred because the background is in focus.

Looks nice!

this looks awesome! all the sources are combined pretty well. the color is great too, it matches the sterile-looking cloud city idea

very nice mood

Lovely image, futurism ftw

Nice, rocket does look a bit dull.

Wow...Well done

cool...gl

Very Nice Author

Very nice entry.

and congrats again.

And also congrats for the second!

Congratulations for 2nd too, nice one.

Congrats!

Very nice, but i agree with CMYK about the clouds and the filters. Everyone always adds water to these things.. (myself included xD)

Okay, taken off the filter and the waterfalls, you win

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... I missed it... dammit (high mark from me)

Lookin' better...maybe shadow the right side of the rocks to match light source?

Ahh it looks better. Very well created... good luck!

This is a good looking entry, I'm gonna nit pik just a little... author you need to check the text on the Bi-plane it is backwards, also there are some horizontal lines at the top of the rock where it meets the foliage and one at the bottom point of the rock. This is a fantastic looking image and will be killer if you fix those things. best of luck to you

Nice - there are some masking lines or something to clean up at the left edge of the castle. Also you seem to have some ghosting of the mountain tip in the clouds. GL

Text on biplane looks good

Good one.

Lovely image that is very well blended.

Congrats for your third place, Missy!

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats!

Congrats! Way to go!

Thank you all very much

Absolutely stunning..Incredible image and a very nice mood. Good luck.

great

Very good, but crystals in the tree!?

yea i know sander and it's floating in the sky !!!???? dude this is fantasy.

not so much that there are crystals in the trees.. it's more like the crystal doesn't blend well into the trees... from a distance.. awesome... HI RES, up close.. the crystals punch you in the face (take over the image).. lots source to balance... good luck*

great image! you have GOT to upload a step by step for this

ahh i see only problem is that by the time i have to work on details like that the file size has ballooned and my already slow compter and unstable cs4 begin to crash randomly i'm realy sorry but i dare not open that file again for everyones safety here cuz for all i know it'l explode.

This one kind of reminds me of the Final Fantasy series, good work!

great entry , good choice of images , Fantastic outcome.

this is great..beautiful image

nice...for me is the best!

wonderful thought and good luck to u.. photo-art at your mercy is wat i can i say.

Awesome pic!!!

Fantastic pic.

Just WOOOOOOW! Love it!

very good job, good luck

I dont see any source links listed??

wow did a slick job on this one

Beautiful creation.

I love what you did but maybe the white line is to strong? If it had the intensity (or a little more) of the red / green lines I believe it will enhance your image. Otherwise: great blending, great idea, great chop

Really fantastic pic

I think it would look much better without that white line around; it takes away from the city

This is really awesome. I like the white line personally. I wouldn't change a thing, awesome.

very nice man but the white line has to go or else needs to have more of a purpose in teh city

Awesome pic!!!

Looks great, but agree with other comments about the white line.

Awesome!

Good work.

Love the city and its lighting effects!

Nice image but I prefered it at Step 14

SO magical!
