Good image, shadows under the blanket & saddle will make it better.

You're right. I had some but they didn't show up well in the final version. It's like they disappeared. Maybe I clicked when I shoulda clacked and turned them off by accident. I made them darker, even darker than before. Thanks for the tip.

Updated SBS to show shadow changes. Added scarf to monkey.

I always learn something from this side of pxyleyes. I like your final production.

Lots of intricate detail work has gone into this. Well done.

Congratulations....

Congrats BWR, fabulous work and so cute too.

Congrats brah

He's so cute, I want to give him a cuddle Well done.

Great work author. Good SBS also. good luck!!

sorry I erased the previous conversation, I didn't want to... Just to say

Very good "photoshopping!" Very nice "CBR" work. Good luck!

"CBR" as it is, is an acronym for Chopped Beyond Recognition. It is an old carry over expression from the old days of this web site. You have taken the original image and completely altered it as a whole. Therefore "CBR'd" it.
The way you have done it definitely has some recognizable elements of the original source i.e.: the fabric of the hat and the fur. Very nice job.

High marks from me BTW.

Well, I had to call my other half over to show him this work. We both just shook our heads. Top marks from me Scruffy.

You did a very good job... Scruffy looks cool.

This was destined to win. All the others were really good too, but this one rose above. Good work skyangel.

Congrats Angel, I still want to give him a hug.

I just knew in my photoshop bones that this one would rise to the top. CONGRATULATIONS , well deserved.

Congrats Skyangel, a big hug from Zizounai

Congratulations...

pretty cool.. but the kite perspective is out.
person's shadow should be infront of her.
overall too bright for a sun-rise or sun-set feel, should be darker
just a suggestion.

hehehe Where is ANOTZE? hehehe (I'm just kidding) Always be aware when you do a "Flip" on a photo with words on it. Everything goes backwards. (It's an easy enough fix and I can see by your talent that there is no need to tell you how to fix it) Flip just the words not the whole Windmill. It's great facing back into the image.
I kind of like the lighting and the overall effect. Reminds me of Don Quixote's (Man of La Mancha) battle with the Windmills... the Sesame Street Version. You'll get a spanking for reversing the shadow but I can tell you have an excellent imagination.

Might be simpler to just clone out the word, but definitely fix the shadow. The light source is behind the girl.

Welcome to Pxleyes! Nice first entry, glad you had fun that's what it's all about! Looks good. I think the dust works but maybe it would be better without the hairs, just my opinion still a nice image.

As a first entry, this is SPECTACULAR. While I can see what you were going for with the texture, it confuses the focus because when viewing the image, I tend to flash to the hairs and debris and not the image. I think that's what Spaceranger is talking about. Good luck and toning back the debris would be a great fix on an already great chop

WOO HOO.. much improved author! GREAT!

Thanks! The input us greatly appreciated.

Congrats..........

Fantastic job... CONGRATS!!!
