You are a master with your creativity

I was a bit surprised to find out that's your work. Yes, still the familiar style but this time I feel something different. In this work you focused more on the composition and lighting, with not much details. All the curves were well done, but the hairs need a bit more works. I don't know if that's your design or not but her bright hand has frog-like shape. It's a gorgeous piece of art indeed! Will be in top place for sure!

Congrats, a great image. I disagree langstrum, i think there is some great detail in this work.

Congrats Anoop...... another great work!

Nice one. Like the idea. Shadows are cool. GL

great construction author and fantastic title imagination...i would just a bit lower the opacity of the shadows...now they are a bit to strong and create small distraction from the Farina and her sister...

much better.. thanks Erathion

My pleasure...just tell me author...which one is Farina? If i could guess i would tell that Farina is Red one...

Farina is more red and green (on the right ...our right.. never could tell the difference) .. for she represents the Christmas Colors and the silliness of making clashing colors a concern... her heart has endured too much so she has decided to unite with her evil twin and take control over the world at hand...

Or I was just really confused as to what to do with a Macro of a fricking Grasshopper and just decided to go nuts (great macro is it not? MnMCarta is a master).. can't shake the guilt of manipulating it.. hehehe.. but I'm going to do it anyway hehehe

(can you tell I've relinked with my college roommate who was a brilliant writer... she gets my creativity going LOL)

Great stuff

super cool...look like some nice cover for child book or picture book...GL

love the colors and the innocent way the creatures look. Agree with Erathion about the way it looks like it should be found in the pages of a childrens book.

Creative use of filters, and love that you created a baby boar!

is this lady gaga? lol... good job for this!

Mmmm spooky I like it GL

Nice work.

At first sight i tought you made the machine from the given source, but when i checked sources i noticed u did not. So thats a complement on finding the right source.

First i'd like to say that personally i'd like to see the given image to be chopped to be used a little more, but that is personally.

I got a few things that might ( in my eyes ) need changes.

I think the girl in white, still is too much white.
The light source on the girl comes from the left and right hand side,
while on the machine, looks like comes more from top and front side.

For the person in the back ( i do not think it adds much to the image, but that is personal again) might need a color layer on the top of the person.
Also for the shadow u might want to duplicate the layer and give both layers a mask, then blur or stretch the 2nd layer.

These are just my ideas of improvements, and you can ofcourse disagree.
See this as help only and not as, someone trying to see only the bad things.

The idea is to help you get the most out of it.

Good luck in the competition.

It may be my monitor, but I find it a bit too dark.

But from what I see you did a good job with your sources. Maybe a stain or two on the woman's white clothes may help to integrate her more in the image.

Very nice work author...great source find too...u made super cool composition here...best of luck

Thanks for the suggestions, but due to the holiday break I never had time to get back to this.

A date gonne crazy

I like the contrast in color (blue-red) and between the man & woman. Tiny suggestion is to flip the girl's image so it gets more or less the same light source as the man. Also, if you can put the girl a bit more to the right of the middle it might improve the composition. Last thing could be if you give some blur for the sky since it looks like the focus is mainly on the foreground (the girl is already more blurry). Good luck!

Thanks Wazowski for the suggestion

nice work author...good contrast and very nice blending...best of luck

weird guys go to beach with his GF on the suit

A nice touch would have been if she was wearing a formal gown or something. I guess she kind of is. Still unique idea. GL!

See until I read the title, I didn't even think of this as a date. Being as how he is in a suit, she just seemed like a stuck up rich person with a butler who carries her umbrella, and she just wanted to take a little dip...well a big dip haha. Anyway, great work, author!
