Whoa..pretty simple, yet so powerful. Everyone seems to think very differently of the theme, but that's what the point of the imagination is, after all. Very nice idea. No time to examine the image closer right now, just wanted to tell you it's a great idea.

This is a mad world, I start thinking everything is possible... even fish out of water (but mudskippers, of course!)...

Good one, wish I had thought of that = )

I gave it a closer look now. 2 bigger fishes on the foreground looks pretty good. I would maybe change the stripe colours for the ones on the back, as they attend to blend in a bit too much with the similar coloured sky. The concept is still one of the best on this contest, at least for my taste

Excellent idea, and very well done!

hahahahahahahhahahahaahaha flying fish! AWESOME!

Nice work author. My suggestions would be to paint in a little bit of hair because in high resolution the selections around the heads look a bit too jagged, and also i suggest trying to remove the white edges around the man.

Very good image otherwise... nice idea and well blended.

Nice picture. A few pretty harsh mask edges on the foreground, but overall quite nice. Good colours.

good work...

Very creative...

nice, I like the light rays

Good image.

this is real cool

the image needs a lot of work... it looks like all are pasted....

it is really a good idea but try and blend it.....

ok butt do i have to blend fthe full image or seperatet ///????

It doesn't look like a single picture, but a bunch of images pasted together. Blending, as ankit said, is the art of making the separate images fit together and look like one. Different lighting, image resolutions, perspectives and shadows all contribute to this blending.

My simple advice for this one, try removing the front cat and mouse - might make an immediate difference. Keep practicing!

I agree with Ray. And your lion is too small comparing to the dogs.

This is a very cute picture. The blending will come in time. It's something that takes patience. This might help - http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Blend-to-objects-Together---Photoshop-189410226

thanks emik very much appreciate it

neat

The rest of his face is way to clean to have been through a such loss.

If he got punched in the eye, the rest of his face wouldn't necessarily be messed up. Good job!

You don't have to if you don't want but it is nice to see your techniques. When you use multiple external sources, SBS is optional. I will say, it doesn't quite look like a cloud city to me, more like low fog. Maybe if you positioned the city higher and showed some kind of sky underneath, to show a realistic city in the clouds and not just a heavy fog bank. That's mainly IMO.

I'll hold my vote.

Edits made, thanks.

What's the city reflected on?

It is not reflecting on anything. It is the way it is, a double sided city in the sky. Just a fantasy like all the rest of these.

nice entry .......... like the idea .......... all the best ...........

Nothing like 'mood lighting' in a cockpit! Great fantasy, author.
Cloud blur helps a lot.

It's more like a city in the clouds now. Well done! GL!

I LOVE the colors!

Cool take on this, good job
