Wow Nice Job, Great Concept and creativity

Excellent work. Looks authentic.

I really like this, but I think the guys by the
tripod need to be either closer or smaller. IMO they appear to be almost on the same plane as the people on the bottom.

@pingenvy... it supposed to be on higher ground but the perspective is all wrong.... thank you

Very nice entry!!! Good luck!

reminds me a lot of the beginning of the Exorcist.. hehehe.. love it

Good job, looks convincing.

Looks great!

good work........!!!!!!!

yes , nice!

Very nice job, author, fairly convincing.

Great blending!...

Really like the work you put into this! Nice old feel to it!

Great repair work! You missed a spot on the blonde girl's left shoulder. I would have colored the background too, but I'm not trying to detract from what I think is an excellent result. High vote from me...GL author.

Thanks CMYK46 - I've fixed the girl's shoulder and will give the background a try later. Thanks for your help

OK done the background now...

nice job on the coloring, you have missed a few legs tho. id color those pants too

Congratulations on the second place

reminds me of that old game Myst good luck author

its a great peace of art with many details...i can tell you put some efort into this...i'm just a bit doubtfull about some lighting issues and prespectives...but then again, it can just be my monitor that is distorting it a bit. good luck

Definite perspective & lighting issues, but it's a great idea.

good idea - the actual buildings look pasted on though - suggest slightly blurring edges, adding strategic shadows, and unifying the colours a bit (making the brown in the stone walls a bit greener)

I'm not sure.. maybe if you brighten the image or dimmed the flowers? the contrast feels a bit violent and the faded girl with the super bright roses makes my eyes bounce back and forth.. (all IMHO of course).. it just seems the balance is off.. good luck though, great idea

EDIT: Much better blend author, very interesting chop

Great Idea! I've never seen sth like this My suggestion is to work more with the roses. to make them fit more with the rest of the picture.

Excellent concept, I love the zipper effect! You need to add a bit more shading to the roses coming out of her back, they are sitting above the image, rather than being part of it. Perhaps desturating the color very slightly and adding some shadows where they are over the skin will help. Very nicely done!

ok guys thx for the comments, lowered the color of the roses and added some more shadow to it, hope its bettter now

Nice idea. surrealist?

i'd add shadow on the down part of the flowers right above the handle of the zipper with fading out of shadow in it's way upwards, good luck

Edit: also the handle of the zipper should drop some shadow on her back due to lights coming from the left side of her body.
