Nice idea and usage of the source..... Love the bevel/emboss texture.

Very cool image, love how you made the tubes, and of course that you were inspired by Star Trek!

Cool, looks illogical

Extremely minimal use of the contest source.

hehehe...well, sorry, M. I know you must ask me SBS by saying extremely minimal use of the contest source,...SBS is here now,......not that extremely minimal I think....Thanks. M.

I like the Disney feel.. great job

I like it .. has a sweetness to it that is very appealing (to me)

Great job on this using so many elements of the source. Love the human in the fantasy image, and the birds.

Love it, great idea to create clock wheels

Really nice work with the mottled lighting and the skin painting.

Playful and sweet

thank you!

if only the frog can be as "painterly",.... as well as background.. good one

thank you. i thought about it, retouching the frog, but i just wanted the girl to be "painterly" i will think about it some more... :P

Lovely entry

congrats

Congratulations....very nice work

Congrats!

thank you!

Really cool image and 'duotone' effect, and right on theme!

Well DONE!!!

Quite dramatic. The reflections seem to be more like shadows [totally different from reflections], however. And the clock face is opaque, not transparent as its 'reflection' would suggest. Not clear where the star sparkles are coming from or why they don't reflect in the water.

love this image author. Your colours are right on theme.

Although this IS FANTASY , I also get a slight surrealistic feel.

My fav part of your entry is the woman on the clock. The things that i personally would adjust is the planet "RING" . maybe angle it instead of having it straight up and down and soften the fill on the other one ... giving the sky a little depth.

Remember these are just my opinions for adjustments.. easy to say after all the hard work has been done.
ALL THE BEST WITH YOUR ENTRY.

Thanks for the comments and positive input.

nice one....

This is lovely - surreal. The waviness of the reflections is great. Still, (to echo DanLundberg) I think reflections would appear more distorted, shortened, to appear on the surface of the water, not sink beneath. Good luck!

Lovely atmosphere...

rotating the planet to 45degrees angle may be better.

angle of the clock don't look right

idea n colors are great

Fantastic! right on theme, GL!

Fascinating work on this, great treatment of the clock image!
