this looks JUST like another entry, just improved, in some ways -.-

I agree, but to me taht doesn;t really matter. Well executed, and right on theme. Good luck.

I have worked for three days in my free time, that didnt know there was another entry similar. hope this is not a problem

One of the best so far and 100% on theme... don't worry about being similar; it's bound to happen...

You never look at other entries before you submit to see what's been entered? I hate to say this but it's better than the other and I'll leave it at that....

This is great work...but its not fair,water have all advantages....

doesn't matter if its the same as another entry..... i actually thought of the same style image when i saw the new contest come up lol.... but this is really good work author, well done on the detail between the fingers with the water too.

Interesting take - you really need to polish it some more - there are lots of masking edges and colour remnants, especially in the hi-res, the inside corner of the water elbow as an example.. Plus the two vertical lines that run top to bottom could be erased or cloned out. I would also lightly erase and blur the edges of the water spray off the arm, they show a defined edge. You have time to fix this yet.. Keep at it. Good job.

Very nice indeed GL

thank you all for your comments. animmax. you were right. did the corrections and hope everything is correct. if you find anything else please tell me before the contest close.

Nice result, SBS is well done too. Good luck!
