very sweet take on source... you got two more.. be a little more adventurist.. but great start.. good luck

The people are too small, but it's a nice idea, good luck!!

the people are rather small, and when you mask them in, try and put them within the grass a bit and not on top of it, this should help with the distant feel and may just fix the sizing issue..

Nice relaxing feel

its a good idea but those ppl are not sitting IN the grass but ON the grass.. you should redraw some grass over them like in my puss in boots tutorial, also have a look at the shadow tip i give in that tut.

they'r floating?
GL !

the people look way too small for some reason.

Nice image.. good luck!

hehehe.. great work!!!

NICE IMAGE AUTHOR !!!!!!!!!!!

The image looks really great but wondering about the use of source. That aspect is poor in my views; there's hardly anything left of it and you could have used any source to do this image. If it had been a theme contest entry you would have gotten a much higher score and better comment from me.

Sorry author

Very nice! wow

you build worlds, where i want to live... i know that this is something trap, but if i find the way into these worlds, i don't care - i will be happy in this kind of prison... with love!

Awesome

Hi author, I think you did a good and wonderful job. The image source does not have much field to choose from, also, it is not that you and some of us used a particle of the image source and did something that does not look like it at all, but it is the time that you spend at the computer, thinking, and thinking, and at the end, you do these wonderful images. Thank you for showing your abilities to create something different!!!

i love this image it will deffinately do well!

its a great work but i kinda aggree with rob here, you could made this with basicly any source... and the source should be vissible and its not in my opinion... but yeah, the result is awesome

Great work author
