nice!

awwwwwwww, he looks SO SWEET!!! good luck author

Thanks for the SBS, now we can appreciate this more!

Good blend! Well done.

Better check your SBS...every image is the same.

LOL nice job... i thought about doing this but couldnt find a head that was rounded enough to make it real looking. Great job

Congrats

Excellent! I turned my laptop upside down to view the face right way round and noticed he is frowning. He looks so happy this way up

I love this stuff LOL great job Author.

The super simplistic accuracy makes it totally believable... AWESOME!!!

Good job! SBS would make it better...

very good but where is the source? good luck any way.

LOL!!!! Can you imagine a kangaroo wanting to drink less?? LOL!! Great entry and good luck to you!

haah interesting , well done

Great job on the 'roo. Pulling all those little hairs out around him really makes the difference, even if it is tedious.

That works too!

Love this one! Great pose and expression on the 'roo! I think the bottle would look better on the right just clear of the arm. (composition would be better IMHO)

It's a funny idea but you have to change the name. Foster's beer is copy-righted. Just change a letter in it (Fostor's) and you're fine.

Congrats

Congrats for your third place, Clinge!

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

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?

very nice

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

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

Lots better.

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.

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.

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.

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

Congrats!

congratulation =)

Congrats,

Congrats for your second place, Clinge!

Congrats on your placement.

very nice

great job

I thinks that this is awsome , color are used in maximum..

i bet you guys that there are weapon up there lol . nice image

nice one

Great idea!

This is awesome work!

Perfectly restored!

Agreed!!....this is a great piece of work...........the very best of luck to you.

Well done! One of the best I've seen. You got the colors perfect! Good luck to you!

FYI: If your concerned about comments and who you should take advice from, I'd stick with someone who well.. has a higher level, since they probably know what they are talking about. All opinions can be good but when it comes down to it, only yours really matters 2nd opinions are good too.

My opinion? This is a winner

yes, I see this, I missed it first time. You have mistaken shadow for body line!!...in the original, it is not easy to see, so i think you could be excused..........

Just turn the earth so it is recieving the same light source.
EDIT: I think it would have been more convincing if the earth's light source was pointed more up but it is better than before.

You did a great job. I did see that you cut out part of her neck. If you zoom in on the neck you can see the collar bone line is missing from your final image.

You'd have to rotate the Earth to match the light on the cannon, since the sun is the light source for both...
(Half grayscale, half color?).
EDIT: Lighting is better.
