oh the excitement.

You need to post your source links, and don;t use google to search for images, most of them are copyrighted

Of course that i have seen them for copyright...... Only one ballon is taken from google search and the others are from www.sxc.hu

Beautiful! But, specialy for the baloon on the top, when masking it's better using soft brush and not hard brush, because of the clouds.
And for better visualization of the links, you have to go to "my stuff", click on "my contests", check your entry edit, so you post your links there!

Very beautiful. I like the colors.

Thnx everyone for voting and comenting.....

Image is very nice...few observations...nearest balloon is to sharp...do some gaussian blur or only blur the edges...and yes,i think that sun flare's dots are to much,u could mask them...good luck

Thnx for the critics......I really apriciate them.....

great color

Thnx everyone for voting....

this is cute, but you need to add more too it .. GL

the new version

ooo this is better.. but you should put some reflections on the water where the balloons are

i think it's enough

You can do by image and then by adjustments and then photo filter : you can do there a warm glow, now is it pink,,, but super cute ! Good luck author!

blending problems i think

U don't need to create any reflections with this lighting...balloons are or to far or to high for the reflections...good work author and good luck

give depth of field by blurring balloons in far distance

Source link for the city...?

k, sec

what about a SBS?

Recycle your last entry????

it was removed because it was placed under the wrong topic. It had its 3 minutes of fame, but I hope it will last longer now

you need to adjust the sun rays, as there is no sun, or sign of a sun in the sky, but the rays are shining over the city, which looks like the sun is right above the city. just and idea, overall it looks good

You have a few perspective issues, but its an interesting idea. You might want to add another layer of coral further back, add some depth? Also your middle comet would have a smoke trail that runs off the edge of the screen. GL.

I agree.. I'll see what i can do

Congrats

your source link for the mountains doesn;t seem to be working.

ok, try it now i think this should fix the problem.

I really love the ballon tho i would dropped the blurred rail in the front of the pic. And why the border? either ways i like it very much!

Thanks Max but if i didnt have a boarder I couldnt do the out of bounds

The in-and-out of the frame thing is just a bit too clever...

The only thing that stands out as odd is the dandy lion on the left. Seems incredibly huge.

Great imagination!

Nice to see something quite different from the bridge. Nice use of source author.

great use of source author. love the balloon and rainbow. GL

congrats!
