The contest description seems to imply that literal, not figurative, meanings are to be visualized, but since there's no explicit limitation, this figurative representation is technically on theme but maybe not as interesting. What is the light source for the bright spot on the boy?

The overall feel of this is great. There are a couple of problems with masking though. The palm trees would probobly have a sharper line when it meets the sand. Also the wave seems to just fade into the woods. I would try to skew that end so it matches the horizon of the sand. Nice reflection from the palm tree though. Good luck!

i like itttttttttttttttttttttttt,good luck

ok changed the light on the boys chest, and the palmtrees, and erased a bit of the wave in the trees, couldnt let it fade away on the beach end, cause the beach is rounded and then the wave got smaller

good luck

Awesome ...I'm speechless...good luck author

very very pretty..I'm always amazed when some one can blend SO MANY sources and make it work.. GREAT JOB (a very hard thing to do)

wonderful but it doesn't looks like he is holding it, the weapon's angle is the cause for that kind of feeling. but I like this very much.

Simply superb...

What a devotion!

nice blending..

doesn't really look like she's actually holding the cane
