I love this, but I think that the infinite tunnel shouldn't be warped or blurred like it is. Just my opinion. Maybe it gets darker as it gets farther or even out of focus, but it's too warped for my taste. Just a fun addition idea, it would be cool to have tunnels extend horizontally and see what they look like through the glass and water. Altogether enjoyable.

Agrees with the horizontal tunnels idea. I think some mroe detailed people in the tube would make it more interesting but that's IMO. (in my opinion)

've right boys....but i don't have time for another changes...in my work!!!! .... thx anyway!!!

GL all the same!

very nice

I dont understand the end of the tunnel and why it seems people are halfway through the glass. Awesome other than that

You could of AT LEAST removed the time stamp off the image. It really doesn't look like it's underwater, more like it's just winter.

looks more like as it snowing..imho

Now it just looks like a reflection on water. At least you removed the time stamp.

you should resize the high resolution image to something like 1500 pixels or something because in the way it is now, it's distorted so much you can't see nothing

very nice work looks great

I would remove the font. It just doesn't seem nessessary

nice

Nice looking pic, but remove the supports underneath the sub! (And maybe make the conning tower a bit more blue to match the rest...).

I agree with both cmyk and Nator. Also front of sub is very badly chopped in high res. You used magnetic lasso too or magic wand, didn't you? Adjust the contrast if you want to use magic wand but I would have just used polygonal lasso with a 2px feather. It will give you a better chop. There are vague children’s faces in the window rims. Are they from a source or your own creation? I'd just try to make them looking through the glass. You should put the “School Sub IX” back, it was a nice effect.

Thx for advice, i wil try to fix them. There are no children in the window rims. I used the source without changing it.

Well put some in there then.

EDIT: I see you added lights but you should at least remove the stilts. They just don't look right if it's a sub underwater. It would not need them. Remember realism is the key to this contest.

Voila, it was a lot of work, but i think it's ok now ??

You got your work cut out for ya because it looks MUCH better. Glad you decided to put a name back on the sub, fix it's edges and remove the stilts. Glad I held off on voting. I can give you a better vote now.

Thanks jawshoewhah

Lots better.

I will not be surprised to see you place because you decided to use our tips, you have quite a contender.;

Great image... looks very apocalyptic.. very nice take on the theme. Good luck.

very nice

Very good, You seem to have a put a lot of effort into the sea floor (which i liked) at the beginning of your SBS and i dont see it anywhere, how come?

Thx for comments all . PhotoRepair the first ocean floor was just a stock photo and i just pasted it in, but i did not like the combination with the city. It was a bit boring for my likeing

Congrats on your placement. It should have been 1st.

Congrats for your third place, Clinge!

Congrats

creative and original! nice.

good luck nice work.

Very nice idea!

If you don't want the mods to get on your case about not submitting your entry without the SBS then use the "Publish entry later (via 'my contests')" option when uploading your entry. This way you can create an SBS and submitt your entry at the same time and never get another email from the mods or comments asking "Where the eff is your SBS", just don't forget to publish it. I understand you spent a lot of time but it appears to lack depth. The only thing that makes this look like it's underwater is your description. Try adding shadows, distort the tubes inside the domes. Add some buildings, maybe underwater terrain and sea life. More detail.

jawshoewhah, I usually don't have a problem with it taking so long to upload the SBS and mods have never said anything before when the SBS wasn't with the entry at the very exact moment--uploaded together. I wasn't bitchin anyway to them nor do I have a problem, I was just saying sorry to them and I was surprised it had been flagged already.

Well now you know how to make sure it never happens again. It's not a bad idea because you can always double-check your entries like typos and correct source image links before submitting.

yeah, I knew it was there but never used it. I think I will from now on just so the mods don't have more work Thanks Jawshoewhah

very nice
