looks like the same ethnicity only less lightinng. would be more realistic if the background changed too

I agree this is interesting final result, cool looking image but ethnicity look the same...maybe u could remove the whiskers and do some things with eyes and hair to achieve needed result...

Lovely work, best of luck author!

looks like u just did a b/w, and glow effect with a little sepia in it. but thats just what i see. good luck author

grt work!!

Thank you...

Great idea, i like it a lot. Just wish it were a tad brighter...but thats just me. Nice job

Beautiful!!! Should finish top 3 IMO

Too dark! Can't see what's really going on.

i agree with mossy, maybe brighten it u a bit..i'll hold my vote

very very nice scene author...image is a bit to dark and i am sure that would be way effective if u create some cool lights...for example fire flights, lanterns and something like that....GL

i love the detail how the circle light reflects on the tomato
and yes it's a bit too dark

Thanking you all for the comments, and i made it little more brighter... thanks

Very nice and creative, enjoy the full image, change everything, and not change the main image at the same time, it is very difficult to achieve a result as cool as this guy keeping the original image. Congratulations!

thanx peter.....

Well made image, its tough to put light into an image that for realism has to be dark... best of luck

Very cool in HR, I felt like a peeping Tom, lol.

thank u all

Great colors & message

Actually, mean people suck HARD. This is so clever, and what a way to use those fingers! I like the way the starfish over the yellow eyes make sort of eyelashes. Gumballs - only you can create like this, author.

Beautiful deep golden eyes As for the message, don't entirely agree. Success is mostly for the mean people

He reminds me of those little rubbery balls kids love. So, you see, he is loved. lol GL

Great work author...fabulous colors,cool creation as always, but Val is right about the message...Yeah...mean people really sucks...best of luck

Welcome to PXL author. You might want to take some time to read the rules and guidelines. Entering similar entries is against the rules. I'd flag either this one or the other for removal or the mods will remove them both. Then take some time and read :

http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/
http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/07/how-to-participate-in-pxleyes-photoshop-contests/

Oh really? i thought we are allowed to send upto 3 entries in each category... I did not see it in the guidelines prohibiting to send more than one entry in each category... in fact i have seen some authors with multiple entries in previous categories... anyways, you're the pro... so i guess i need to remove the other one and perhaps move it to mixed manipulations category... thank you for the tip... i appreciate that...

I think they might have left out that specific rule are far as similar entries in contest. I was there and is still a rule as I know. You are allowed to enter three entries but the similar entries rule is mainly there because if you enter two similar entries and if I can tell they are both yours it makes one of your entries no longer anonymous by voting on one. Besides, it shows more creativity in your entries when you keep them more diverse. Make sense?

love this! the only thing i have a problem looking at is the skull on the bottom left, its too dark, maybe brightening it up and adding some more contrast would be great!

Nice Work!

This would be an awesome poster! Great for the bathroom...ya know...when you need something to do lol. Or waiting rooms or just a simple poster. Great colors, WONDERFULLY put together. I bet it did take you a long time, wow. You are very creative, great job, author!

This looks woawesome, to say at least. And Hi-res is a MUST SEE!

Thanks so much! now that you mention it, I bet this would look great in my bathroom hahah!

really brilliant!

Super work, I had fun looking through it = )

This is amazing!!!!! So clever and well thought out, and I like how you've chosen to use a monochromatic (sort of) color scheme with silhouettes, keeping the individual images simple since there are so many of them.

Congrats!!!

Congrats for your third place! You set a record with your source links!

Congrats and really amazing work!

Congrats!
