Great use of the source, I do agree with the other guys though....although not essential it just seems to be missing something....Best of luck to you author

Great Idea and the image overall could be great, the edges just seem a little too soft on the blend, sorry to hear about the monitor I`m sure it doesn`t help....GL

very nice, the highlights and shadows work well, Well done author

strange you should continue to attack about "borrowing work"....and going further to mention Ponti55..... subconsciously I guess you must be needing this link to one of ponti`s work ( he had it as his avatar for a very long time as I recall)..... look familiar to anyone?

EDIT: Author deleted the attacking comments after this was made public.

The authors link below is reference to my avatar (that is not in judgment here btw) the image is a photograph by Levi van Veluw, and he makes landscapes on human & manequin models & photographs them. I love his work and my avatar uses just one of his amazing images.... here is his site http://www.levivanveluw.nl/ and the video ... http://www.levivanveluw.nl/work/landscapes

^ yet another personal attack unrelated to the entry..... my original comment will remain unless the powers that be see anything untoward contained in it. I`m sorry if you dont like it author but there is an option not to accept public comments on an entry if you feel so strongly.

Great work, love the mood & colouring... well done

My comment is based on observation & anyone can see that its correct. While I`m not sure why you make reference to Ponti55, I do agree that you are nothing like him....he was very talented indeed & very missed.

Nice mood... love the soft glow

Good idea, a little chop debris either side of the middle arm, the ocean layers are hanging out of the small bubbles a little & the fingers would have much more distortion and blur (as alan rightly points out).

Minimal use of source IMO, what this image needs is a baby ape with wings.......... whooop there it is! nice entry author

Illusional , well done

The author is right, the source only needs to be present, in accordance with the rules....however most members will appreciate "source use" when voting. Best of luck to you author.
