Can I try criticize ? Because I'm probably not the best there is but I could probably help you out. If you notice , the original pic with the bird..you see the light falls from behind the bird. The light on the statue falls in front of the bird. So it seems a bit unrealistic. Also I think the bird is a bit...too big . Don't you think?

Congrats Ros!

Congrats!

Nice blending...... good luck.

Good one! Nice job.

Think there is some of the reflection included behind the head

effortless.....

simple neat. nice...

Nice job with a very difficult source image. The fact that the statue's pedestal doesn't match the statue's color/highlights makes the much-smaller pedestal seem fake, however.

Very nice stone effect, and the lighting match is excellent.

Some of the edges from the contest image are too soft for such an in-focus bg image....
