try a different blending mode -- looks a bit stuck on rather than the colour of the shell

Im aggreeing with alan here.

Im sorry I still see some grey tints.
I quote:
'black and white needs to be black and white. No gray shades are allowed.'

Hope you fix it !

A good peace of art..luv it.

It looks like a ninja, dangerous and pretty. Nice execution.
Btw the left eyebrow is really blurred on it's extreme, i'm not sure if that was your intention.

thank you Akassa

now i changed ...

I love it, she looks like me now lol

Good idea. Soften the edge of the material on her face. (IMO the dot on the forehead is just distracting, but it's your pic...).

Wonderful Use of your own photography.. GOOD LUCK author

Great concept, but there are a couple technicals hurting the execution. The tilted mouse on the right is off-kilter to the rest of the image, looking like it should be falling over at that angle, and the mouse behind the glasses should be showing some distortion from the curvature of the glass - it would not be so perfectly aligned, because the glasses are curved front and back, not flat like a pane of glass.

Your shadows of the added elements also need work to match the contest source.

Great job, I love the way her hat turned out!
You need to post your source link or an SBS so this great entry doesn't get yanked!
