Nice idea. What I dont get, the crane in the original looks way sharper than in this entry. There's no way to make the bird sharper again? Also, compare the shadows from the source pic to the shadows that you made for the crane. In the source it's more greenish, perhaps you'd like to adjust that. Good luck!

Yeap, like waz said make the crane sharper, add the crane's head in the picture, add the fish head from the other contest into it's beak and you got yourself an entry! Make it look like the crane just picked up the fish. Use full size picture for better Q : http://www.pxleyes.com/images/users/t/tapiona/36/fullsize/4adf924f809d4.jpg

Crane is way too big...

I can't change the picture, my computer or site won't let me upload any pictures, I have been trying since last night, sorry peeps =(

Shadows for legs are a little off and would have been nicer to see more of the bird.

Nicely Done!
