Just a point about author credit. Source 2 is from Cornelia Mladenova: http://www.pxleyes.com/picture/19480/sea-gull.html

Moderator thank you so much for bringing that mistake to my attention
I took care of.

Nice overall work, a really nice looking image, but be careful with the white edges around the tree and the man. Also be sure to post all of the sources you used.

EDIT: Ah, okay Great job and good luck.

thanks for the comment. the white margins were made intentionally, because of the backlight. i posted all the sources. the man is made by me using paths and painting over.

Nice color. The turtle would have a bigger shadow, and maybe blur the rim lighting just a bit. Good luck!

Welldone Author..

Great work author...Few minor nit picks...u should blur a bit black boat and people on horizon,then glow from the sun on a guy and on a tree can be way better,u achieve that on the turtle,try to do the same on other objects...So that's it,i love this work so much and i will wait with voting,maybe u apply some changes...best of luck

i love the shadding you have given on the turtle
great work

Congrats for your third place, Keenox!

Congratulations!

thanks everyone for votes

Being that the sky is very dark, the water wouldn't be so light. Maybe make the foreground a bit more darker as well, it still feels like the sun is shining on the grass. Good try though author, you got rid of the rock and I like your clouds

Great idea, this could be really fun. Having more motion in the water spouts would make this have more visual interest. There also could be more of a visual relationship between the clouds and the spouts as well. Right now it seems like the spouts don't actually come out of the storm cloud the relationship between the storm and the funnel lacks gradation. also try to upload a high-res version, Many will give you a lower vote if you don't have one. But a GREAT start!

agrees with the gals.

gud luck author.......... i like d idea .......... all the best :

Idea is nice, but as the girls said, ocean is too clear for a dark sky... But GL!...

A bit too much blur, but everything else is great!
PS: Good to see you're back, author!

Nice idea well done

-- PS welcome back wondered where you were hiding (LOL)

Yeah, I had my doubts about the blur. That's why I added the last step in SBS to show the details missing. But the high res wasn't made for full size viewing.

Looks like incredibly tedious work, author.. but an excellent idea and very well executed.

That's a different point of view!...
And let's consider blur as a soft focus, or DOF... I like both versions!

@Erikuri:
It was supposed to be DOF...

And I meant:
No 3D program, vector or anything like that was used...

Great job author...its not bad that blur thing,gives some idea about how high is building...good luck

good idea

excellent!

Great perspective! I can never create such thing When I saw your Step 1 just gave up, too mathematical, geometrical, logical etc, etc, for me

great job

Interesting idea and well done...GL
