good job on resubmitting.. they will remove your duplicate entry before contest ends.. and welcome to PXLeyes!!!

EDIT: By the way... you did a fantastic job cleaning the edges.. looks FANTASTIC

Excellent idea and nicely composed.

reference taken from the (1991) Hook movie's most recent DVD artwork?

very simple clean chop. Very nice

thank you guys!

beautiful result !

Great job.. an entry like this could;ve been potewntially very boring, but the highlights and the starburst effect really give this image life... Excellent work!!

Good job! I like the way you showed transparency!

hahaha, who could have thought of that!

simple but great,

It's simple but very well done. Good luck!

a fun use of source. have to agree on the transparency of the lolly and stick. looks great.

Really creative!

You have such a great imagination! And the candy looks delicious ...

YUMMMMMMMMM!

great chop!!

Very messy, but interesting.

it is awesome !

As messy as it might look.....it does work for the whole feeling of it...! It's strangely good....and the cartoonish hair is just adorable! I personally love it and hope to see this high in rank! You've definitely got my vote! Best of luck!

Haha, really nice idea, well developed. Good luck!!

a good image but it lacks in work if you work at it a bit more youll have an awesome image in no time!!

cute

idea is good, but bit dull

yeah Nice but a bit dull., May be instead of Jsut having 'Clouds filter' for the background, u may work a little more in tat so it may look realistic., and 'Light Like air' is visible at first sight.. needs a little more work.,

you want to sell to kids air? cheers!

very nice

nice idea, do you really wanna use lens flare? good luck and welcome back =)

I love lens flare, but it is a tad frowned upon in the Photoshop communities (like page curl, rendered clouds, etc...) I personally like it and the usage of it in this picture.. to each his own.. GOOD LUCK!! (Experiment with other lighting effects but DON'T mess with the image if you ruin the initial effect)

image is a bit flat... add some shadows and darker/brighter areas to make it more catching

Beautiful work, good use of the source!

nice idea but i think you shoud reduse the opacity(or even delete) the lense flare!And as Mike suggested,add some more shadows and highlights!Good luck!

Thanks for the comments.. SBS follows v.shortly

nice good luck is a very cool idea!

Not bad, but there's something with the light here (and then I dont even mention the l*ns fl*r*). Because it looks like the "branches" of the tree gets light from front right, while the shadow is also on front. Unless the l*nsfl*r* is messing with my eye...Good luck!

EDIT: light fixed

this is a very good picture of naivism! i love it! good luck!

Nice image, I agree on the lens flare... Suggestion? Add a "simple" cartoonish character to it

This is great. I really like it.

Cool idea but kill the lens flare...find your own sky with light source, it's much more effective (the lens flare filter looks bad unless it's used well - which isn't often)...

Quite creative - Good Luck.

very nice

unreal, I like it very much

I wanna eat it, can I eat it?

nice

like the color scheme & style

very nice

interesting idea.. good

Thanks for the feedback folks.. if my hand wasnt so poorly i might of tweaked a bit more.. I hope santa brings me a tablet !

good job and good luck

*starting to drool* i love cotton candy

Congratulations, celebrations, well done Keep up the good work
