I disagree with all of the above!

Great blending, great find of sources and great thinking about the colors. This would be a species that would benefit from having colors which blend in the surroundings. Good entry!

nice gutsy shot.. photographer or his camera might fall if not careful. Good work.

There are indeed a lot of orange fairies here. What I like about this one is that she is bright/saturated rather than muted/dreamy which then provides a dramatic contrast with the black in the background. (I would really like to see an SBS as I think your recolored version of the model is better than the source—which however is nicely very white so very amenable to recoloring.)

the frog-part is too sharp compared to the snake part, should be the same sharpness, then will it look a whole.

To make the picture more interesting, should let it coil-up a prey... etc. The background cannot bring out the creature as the main focus.

The legs, to me, is not necessary

The frog-snake is too similar in tone to the grassy background. Perhaps a wee bit of a warming filter on the background to give it a hint of a color difference...

Author, I don't see any difference.
EDIT: Looks much better now IMO.

Really nice! Blending is very good; maybe you would like to add some orange or teal tint to the image just to create a mood, but that's just IMO Good luck anyway!

Good blend, but the background hues are too close to your creature's...try to make it stand out more.

"...could not stand to sit on the computer ..." Of course not, because then you'd be standing, not sitting...lolol!
Sorry you're feeling bad, but your image is lovely!

A lot of fairies in this contest, nice blending. GL!

Nice Blending

congrats

very nice concept

ah.... I like this

suggestions:
1) lower the opacity (varying) for those clocks floating further away
2) darken the drop-shadow alittle

another 'photo-stock' idea

Congrats! apocalyptic look! looks real...

Congrats!

Great concept ... an SBS would have been nice though ... oh well ^U^

Lovely work ... would love to have seen and SBS though

Beautiful image author.....GL!!

i like it.....good luck

i like it.....good luck

Beautiful, the cute young lady must be really brave

Nice job. She's pretty brightly lit for such a gloomy scene, though, and she would have a shadow.

love ur colors .... they are awesome GL

yes i think it is much better with the blood on her..nice overall mood author..and good job with the rain effect..GL

lovely colors.... like the "fairytale" look n feel.

That is a beautiful image.... the light works well and the colors are awsome.

You go girl! Kill ´em! Nice, very nice!

good choice of source images, nice colour usage.... I like the face on your model the best in this image her expression makes your art work complete.

well done and good luck .. one for my favs.

cool work! Congrats

congrats!! really nice work

Congratulations!! I love this one - I'm so glad it won first place.

Congrats, beautifully done

Great concept! Maybe you could add some blood on her suit to make it look like it was a though fight, good luck ^^

Cool!!

cute entry and good blending with beautiful colors..., good luck to you..

preety cool wish i could be in this kind of level to participate

Good idea but the spider is a tarantula & would be much bigger.

very cute image good luck

Love the watery colors and the dreamy atmosphere of this image

Beautiful, well done

overall composition is good.. only complaint is that she looked 'sad' to go back to heaven?

lol Author it is great now

Beautiful

A tripod and no flash would have been much better. Since it's your kitchen I suggest a reshoot. If you haven't got a tripod, place the camera on something solid.

Author this very well done but IMO seeing the bottom part of the man's underware takes of the idea of lust. I mean, we should think they are naked... Of course that is my opinion, but I would start the image just under the slip!

I really like the image, good luck author!!

"Why are Baptists against having sex standing up?"

"Because it might lead to dancing."

Good work..an SBS would be nice.

Nice concept but it's too bright, her arms, hands and even the dress basically blend with the background. By the way you should make the dress a little transparent to look more realistic, with all that light you should be able to clearly see her legs (the shape).

superb,its too good to be fake as true
