*lol* Damn... That was a pretty short no-ideas-phase...
Now I need an idea... Uh, I'm under pressure

Good luck!

I'd raise the bird up a bit. It looks like it's perching on the horizon line...

Beautiful image but i think the grass is a little empty, maybe add some flowers

the girl doesn't look like she is part of the image... i am just learning about feathering give that a go. nice idea though and good cloning. i will hold my vote for the moment.

Sorry OliviasArts, i don;t understand what you mean.. i use the pen tool to select my images, and then i feather the selection by one pixel to smooth it out. If it still doesn;t look right i normally go back and add a selection border around the entire figure of about 3 or 4 pixels and then blur it. What you're seeing i think is a bit of pixelation, unfortunately i have to work in medium resolution because my computer is extremely slow and very full, so i can't go adding ultra high-res images, and i apologise for that. Thank you for the comment.

purdy purdy like the Sixties only with soap

i think the girl and the bird need more shading on the shadows

Shading on the shadows?

for me, the background just seems a little bit too empty, perhaps add an old tree with a swing??? or some other object that will fit in with the image??? But nice work here! Well done!!!

I wanted to create simplicty, and then everything gathering around the model to create a sense of control, which is really what i was trying to achieve

You could add one of the rocks back to the background, as it is now using the grass is minimal use of source.

Golem: you're so funny! I like this image.......minus the bird. Good luck

I love this song.. you captured it perfectly

AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH Thanks a lot author..now THIS song is going to be stuck in my head all day... LOL.. very beautiful image.. good luck on this (very beautiful.. I love the dispersal and motion)

the source image you have used is from deviantart, please find the correct link as taking from the source page was stated by the original author as "NOT ALLOWED" no offence but if she sees it, she wont be happy... i use her stock . Her name is faestock on deviantart.com

thanks =) ive changed the link and gave her the credit...

but we are all so much more than dust in the wind.....(;

Interesting..!

the plane in the back needs a definite color or shading.. not a big whoop, but because of the dark outline it stand out and needs some sort of definition.. but that could be me.. good luck otherwise (I love airplane pictures.. I don't know much about them, but I sure love to look at them

Super improvement.... now the back plane LOOKS AWESOME.. good luck

very nice, interesting

a very good idea!

Nice idea. The plane in the rear is behind the tree line which means it is absolutely huge.

wowzerrrrsei the colors are incredimoso indeed!

very nice

My favorite flight! Nice work overall! Great use of colours!

congrats!!

Congrats Lchappell!

Congratulations!!!!

congrats

Just a wonderful image all around... the dress is EXTREMELY powerful.. good thing the castle is higher to pull the eye away from her.. hehehe.. good luck author.. very nice work

Yep, good job. I'd sliiiightly calm the yellow in the girl - overall imperssion is tha she just doesn't belong there - looks like she is taken from some sunny place and chunked onto this cloudy scenery. Just love the rest, apart from the blur tool on the castle and the grass in front of the girl's dress..). I hope u don't think that I dislike ur entry - on the contrary, otherwise I wouldn't have cared to write all this

good work

really nice

very nice...I find the maiden in the tower very fair
