Congrats!!

Nice job, author! You've done well. There's a peculiar dark outline around the mermaid's left arm near the lightning. Get rid of that and soften the edge and you'll pic will rock even more than it does now!

Thank you, I was very pleased with it as well. It's always so nice when and image in your head comes out the way you imagined. I know the line that you speak of however its to late for the contest. I will remove it off of the original though. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it

Very good ... your concept is very sound and your choice of stock is great; you definitely have an eye for composition. There is a little more work needed on the cutting out of "Pandora".

If you are using a program with layer masks try using them to mask your image. You can start with the lasso tool (or whatever tool for selecting you like) after the basic selection is done you can go in and really refine it with a brush, I will even use the smudge tool to smooth and soften the outline.

Layer masks and adjustment layers give a lot more control and are non-destructive so you always have you original to go back to for reference. For fine tuning nothing works like a layer mask/adjustment layer

NOTE: using the Pen tool is also a great way to create selections but the learning curve is a bit fierce, worth the effort though!

thanx a lot frnd..did some changes...hope its ok now

Much better ... again nice choices! GL

i always go to the bucket, if i post something, which i don't wait analysis. such images are analyzed in the most! and, most seriously, i forget myself and go also to analyze them... eeerm... good luck!

lol its ok. i don't mind... I only put it there cause its not something I usually make. It is just a visual image not a "photo" type image that I tend to do lol I kinda let myself go for once

nice blending of the images ---like the overall effect well done

good luck =)
