The filter used on the columns is very fake looking, because it is too flat and does not change in perspective as it recedes into the horizon line.

Also, the pool you used is at a different angle than the contest source, which makes the lines look extremely crooked, and the pool then appears to be tilting.

The statue is too large in proportion to the pool, and the lighting is not consistent with the rest of the image.

This is a really good concept, but it looks very rushed, without enough attention to detail...

Well commented MossyB. This is a good entry Author. However, i agree with MossyB. Please take the feedback as a way to improve and advance your entry and artistic skills.

I hope that you get the time to make adjustments to your entry.

Thank you for comments i did some adjustments and waiting for new comments.

Love the changes.. If you look at the base of your NEW coloms you will see that they do not connect to your floor. To fix this add shadowing.

:look where your light comes from, use your BURN tool to add shadow. IF you want more information on how to do this Message me.

GOOD LUCK .

Shadow added.Thank you !

The 4 back columns look like they are hanging over the pools edge.... I would just make them a bit smaller, it will also had depth to the image

hmmm i honestly see no humor in this.....?

SoK,, takes all kinds! Go for a swim and think about it....?

Dragoncide, It's more word play humor.. (it could be before your time, but there is a lot of references to old pool players who in turn became Pool Sharks, a very rare honor in deed) their fame was legendary.. good luck author.. (be careful with your text alignment, while the are all parallel, some of the spacing is jiggy and McDermott should really line up with Miz text, right now it's floating in space and has no lock, also enlarging the font size on the three names at the base would really help in the balance.. they look a bit lost (But as always, if you are happy with it then that's fine with me.. always IMHO)

GOOD LUCK!!!

I like it, I know a few pool halls that should be calling you soon


Driven slush, in the area were I live, there are many pool sharks - this is not outdated at all...

Nice work author...gl

Good approach to get the chocolate texture, in HiRes the edges from the balls are maybe a bit too sharp (but that's a nitpick). Good luck!

Very attractive and convincent!

@ wazowski thanks for the heads up. I went back and blended the edges of the balls together so the transition from chocolates wasn't so sharp. I also added a beveled edge to the numbers and white around the numbers so it appears that the milk chocolate was layered on top of the white chocolate. This can only be seen in HiRes though...

@erikuri Thank You!

good one

I like this one, very cool.

Very clever! Nice work

Good idea! One thing you could fix is; show the lower half of the ball that's underwater. The lower part of the person is also showing underwater.

fixed the ball cheers

This is great! GL!...

wow this is very cool love the mood and blending is good
