beautiful work! gl

amazing

great use of source............ very creative

Ha! I knew only you could achieve such a masterpiece!!!!!

really cool image, only one thing, there is a hard line on the left side of the image. dont think it should be there great job author

wow its so pretty.i would request u more illusttrive sbs which covers the filters and adjustments u have done.even i wanna learn this type of art and how to get the golden effect.

great work. my favorite one from this contest.

Interesting, but too fragmented IMHO...

This is really well done! Great depth of field here...however, author I think you need to fix a mask issue. There's a line artifact on the left side of the image. Fix that and you'll be .

Good job

Wonderful composition! The rose in the middle is so beautiful, just like the birds. Good luck!

very creative author. love how u used the source.

There are only one in here who made this kind of stuff. simply unique and wonderful.

congratulations!

Congrats!

Wow! Amazing job! GL

awesome

Great, great job! My only suggestion would be to darken the really bright bit behind the spire on the left, because it;s a bit distracting. Good luck, and high marks!

Nice creation, I might have put the ending of the wire (attached to the elephant) behìnd the tower, so that it looks more like the island with elephant is further away. Good luck!

I hope you like the changes!! thanks for comments!

cool

nice surreal feel... .love the sky GL.

Very cool image! I like the surreal feel to this piece. Great job, good luck!

Congrats, awesome work

Congrats!

Woow!! first place!! thanks everyone for all your comments, views and votes, I have a great family here!!! Thanks!

Congrats!

erm.. interesting :P, i don't really understand it, but it looks nice. Good luck!

i like the art look of the image and the leaf thing i dont exactly get but it adds a cool effect to the image

the media mix is quite unique.. you don't see that everyday and that's what I like about it... Like the first time I saw the stop motion animations on seseme street.. good LUCK!!

From the technical point of view this is a very good image. It looks believable. I think it would attract more attention when the elements in the image were more related to each other. e.g. the book title could be 'How to paint leaves'.

THIS MUST BE VIEWED IN HIGH RES... THERE IS NO COMPARISION TO THE LOW RES..(they're almost two totally different pieces) (the High res is so much better then the low res... great job author) shame all the detail is lost in the low res.. I hope everyone takes the time to really look at the work in the high res

Very pretty

nice

interesting and passional

Really well done. Nice concept and composition. It IS true...much better in high res. Small suggestion...maybe blur the horizon a bit so the grassy stuff doesn't look so sharp far in the distance.

this is very nice.. very intimate

nice

very nice

Nice work. Author, you are again on your old style work,.

I was right, its you friend.

shhhhhhhh.. Im suppose to be anon.. (hehehe) thank you nasir

Very daring entry! And I can definitely guess who this artist is....but hey...I'll keep quiet, you know....! It's our little secret (wink...)!

Good work!!!!!!!

Yeah... He is back... LoL... Can recognize that style even with my eyes closed lol j/k how can I see if I close my eyes

really cool

This is very nice, i especially like the winter and the summer, the spring really doesn;t call out at me too much, it seems a little simple, but the rest of the image is very nice, and it's a great use of the source. Good luck

there's so much going on here! good thing there's high res funny how you picture spring. and again, lot of work author!

Nice Entry and good juxtaposition of seasons..........Good Luck Author.

Interesting & different top job!
