Wow! Great use of source! I love entries like these!! Good luck

great entry! i love this image its very cool!

I think we have a winner !!!! ...grate job author

Wonderful creation I love the bird and I know it was hard work, but I had to look at your sbs to see where you put the source to use. Other than that wonderful image.

Thank you for comments, yes, it was a hard time to get the bird all together.

Very nice work.

this is what i call true art... very nice...

very artistic. love the blue hues and lighting in this creation. well done

my problem is: could you have made this with ANY other source? I think the answer is yes and therefor the use of the source is weak. If you've set the brush to scatter there wouldn't be that repetative pattern in the leaves. In other words: not my piece of cake

Sorry...

well done

Thanks for comments again.... Robvdn don't be sorry.... it is the way it is, the source image does not have many objects to work with. Could I have done this work using other sources? Yes! I could. But the main thing here is that I used the image source in part. As many of us do. I just got this idea, we are here to learn, to appreciate constructive and non-constructive commnents and suggestions.... It is like Art, some like Picasso...some don't.... I am happy with what I have done here at the contests, and again, thank all of you for critics and comments. Good luck to everyone!!!!

Author let me be clear: I wasn't judging your image, just the use of source. You are right about we're here to learn and we all have different tasts. If something like this would have been posted in a theme contest you would have gotten a complete different comment by me Just my personal view, hope you're not offended. Didn't mean to.

I like the way u made the tree :P really nice

Although the image is well done, I believe the use of source is very poor. This could have been made with anything and the source is not recognizable in any way. These type of entries belong in theme contests, not source contests.

Excellent! i love this one

Comments appreciated. Robvdn: Not offended at all. I just accept your comment. Solkee, I will pay attention to Theme contests in the future, you are right, I should have used more of the image source, although I did not have much to choose from it!

very nice

love the entry and the result but you could of done this with any source as far as i thought the original source needs to be vissible... its not in my opinion..

Congratulations on the top-three place!
