Unless the kid is dreaming...I'd say Santa is already there.

EDIT: The entry name change helps your intention!

Great idea but the kid is huge,he have a bigger head then santa...shrink a kid a bit and u will have more realistic entry....good luck author

Well done!! I like it very much

Nice idea & blend. Source for sky & sea?

Sky and Sea are from original source ... thx for the comments

great masking ,nice image . G/L

cool work

It's a really good blend and one of the best I've seen but... The lights don't look real in high res. But like I said only noticable in high res.

cool idea.

great blend work author.. nice use of source.

nice

Thank you all for the votes

Congrats for your third place, Numbsock!

Congrats!

Congrats!

congrats!

Congrats!!

Great job! It looks a bit flat so i would suggest adding a few shadows and highlights, but this is excellent!

love this!

good

So cute! Good work!

nice

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats for your third place, Ray!

Congrats

I like your idea. The horse looks a little big to me. Also it has a funny looking shadow as well as looking a littl cut and pasted(look athe the horses feet)

Good work. The knight is very sharp compared to his surroundings and should be blurred a little to match. The masking is also a little off around the horse's feet and at the tips of the towers on the castle. The shadow could also probably be a bit darker. Cool idea and image though!

Nice work - great job with the reflection, but yes, i think the horse is way too big. Good luck!

Very cool! The only thing is the fog where the castle is. It's too straight. It should be more cloud-like. Great job anyway GL

well done !! I think the caste is a bit to detailed (you can blur it a LITTLE bit) but anyway, great work !!

Nice pick of sources. Castle is not bad, but if you can play a bit with liquify for the lower towers you can fix its perspective a bit more (make the lower roofs less round, because you dont look as much against it as the taller towers). Good luck!

The haze should slightly fade the entire castle to make it look like it's far away.

well put together combination of images

no the horse is not too big...look at the source image, however in the over picture the mounted knight and horse do seem large, author I like the way you have the reflction of horse and knight in the water, overall not bad

like the idea... nice image.. needs a little work to be a great image. GL

wow nice .very nice idea.i feel the castle is too blurred,may be to create a far awaz effect.overall good work

Too bad I saw that too late. Love it! Wonderful concept and idea.

oh hell in a hand basket.. how the heck are we suppose to vote on a surrealistic concept.. high marks from me.. because I have NO idea how to make an image from this contest. and you did a great job.. hehehe (I'm sure I'll think of something.. but I'll have to spend a day creating it LOL)... in other words.. great job!!! high marks

It's a good job but the main subject is too far even in high res..good job with the song tho

Yeah it was hard to imagine her coming around the mountain and also seeing the crowd of people and still see her clearly, maybe higher resolution chop next time?... I was going to add beer in the back of the wagon for the cheering crowd...but.... it didn't go with the song! :o)

oh i dunno... when i think "hee haw" i imagine a bunch of beer cans being clinked together in the sky :p

never heard this poem but the image created truly goes with the lyrics.very good work

Very good. It goes great with the lyrics! Awesome job. GL

Now I'm extremely curious! We have a song in german, that seems to be pretty similar! It's called: "Ich hab ne Tante in Marokko" what means: "I have an aunt in Morocco"

Do they have the same melody? Cause as I read your songtext, I immediatly had that song in my mind.
But ok.... enough for that, now to your entry You did a good job with "creating" the song. And I really like, that everything is black and white except the lady in the red pajama. Good luck

Lelaina, I went to the link and it's exactly the same melody... lol

Ha, I knew it! Good to know, that I wasn't wrong and thanks for letting me know Good luck again!
