very interesting creation...its a bit confusing but the idea is very unique...gl

very nice chaotic oic

I like your thinking and idea here. Perhaps if you give the top area of film where it curls some lightness...brighter. If you gradually make the inside of the curl darker it'll give the image some depth...which I think is why for some it may seem chaotic. Nice work, author!

Points for concept for sure ... very unusual take on the source.

thanks arca...pixelkid...enblanco....erathion..i will work on lights ,,thanks for the comments

nice entry

Nice looking image. Maybe just try to color match the tail a bit better.

I agree on the color, but very cute scenery here.

Very natural, beautiful image!

Good idea..... nice image!

Thanks for your comments all. CMYK, I was struggling with the same thought when I created it. On the one hand, I wanted to keep the hair intact as much as I could. But on the other hand, I wanted to make the squirrel as realistic as possible... I am going to give it another try

incredible work!

Indeed a nice looking image. There is a lot of light in the scene. Would expect the squirrels shadow to be darker, considering how much light is hitting the tail, also the fawn in the B.G. by the pile of rock is a tad to sharp to be believable.

great great great work ! i like it . good luck

beautiful entry .........

beautiful entry .........

Amazing scene author,light effects are perfect...best of luck

cute little pooter

Made a few changes, including the tail's colour and shadows. Thanks for the comments all.

Well done.

Beautiful scene and composition. In high resolution 2 deers look sharp. Making them a bit blurry will match with background. Good luck

Thanks Nasir for checking the high res with your keen eye, changed it!

This one made me smile.

This is so beautiful! Creative use of the source. Great job, author!

Well done and Good luck Author.

Congrats! for 2nd place

Congrats!!!

I really like this.

Links are not good,lead to download page...and u cannot use some other's manipulation...Link of the sea is premade picture,so its not valid....

Good idea...fix link 5, and supply links for eye & boat.

erathion if you see that where the link opens, and trce it back to the main site, it sayd free stock....maybe he just needs to credit that person...I dono

Sweet scene, well done author.

Lovely........

All the sources were downloaded from http://amygdela.com, which is a free stock photos.The link for the eye is in the step guide

Very imaginative.. great job!

Edit: What software did you use for this? It looks very artistic if it's Photoshop... good job!!

to ponti55.-Thanks for the comment.I always use photoshop

Links are from stock base,and all except first one are valid.Image of the sea is some others manipulation and u cannot use some others work for your project.Only photos are allowed. I am sorry because i am pointing to this.Your work is great composition and i like it so much,but we all have to be guide by some rules....

this is my favorite

great job

Am I not getting this? Why is the figure so small?

It's a fairy.... That's the reason why the title is "Wrong tale"...

The Incredible Shrinking Woman? Not exactly a fairy tale but that was what first came to mind. Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong.

Well, Jawshoewhah, she's a fairy, pixie or something like that... Small people, though I think she looks huge there. And she has nothing to do with the Christmas scene and she knows to judge by her look .. I made the manipulation for fun...

Alrighty then. Good enough for me.

LOL. I used to hate faries, thanks for bringing me back around

i love those romantic stories behind a circus... by the way.. i visit this particulair circus every year.. but i never had seen this lil cart so I took a picture because it was such a nice lil car that it tickled my fantasy. I had expected a lot of colorfull works.. but yours dont have that many colors at all and is still very pretty.. i like it

beautiful work! High marks

Simple yet outstanding love this...

Wow!

I love old books. This is really nice. Especially the flower.

this is awesome! The only little thing is the "IL CIRCO" is not centered under the design above it--I would move it over to the right just a tad. Love this.

Madrid? 1,50 pesetas? this book is Italian or Spanish? , cute image, BTW

It's a Spanish book about an Italian circus. Maybe. (n_n)

Terrific... beautifully composed... everything just fits... awesome job!!

beautiful, nice idea

Nice work. Looks convincing, but please add the other source link too.

You did a wonderful job! It's such a lovely and natural looking image. Good luck
