Not to say this isn't a good entry, CBR isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Bob is talking about CBR short for Chopped Beyond Recognition. It's a term used when a source contest entry is so far altered that you can't really see the image any longer. It usually implies that the entry could have been made with most any other source for the same or very similar result. While the image created may be very nice it doesn't show a dependency on the original contest source which is the intention of having a contest source in the first place.
I will say that this is a very nice entry and there are others that are CBR and also very nice works just not very source dependent.

Ah, love this especially. I did this as a child, caught a caterpillar in a little jar, watched it make its cocoon, then eventually turn into a moth - fascinating! Good job with this source.

I felt like this scene is about the steampunks airship wars.

I'm sorry if I'm too late to comment and give you my thoughts, author. When I'm looking to all the way down to the city, it's just a modern city. Steampunks should be on the city where the steams, steamclouds, pipes, post-apocalyptic scene, junkyards and all the old-style elements scattered around. I have one good resource for the scene; type 'machinarium' on any search engines. It will leads you to an animated webpage which tells the stories of tiny little robot with the environment of steampunks (junkyards).

Anyway, it's a great entry to come across. Steampunks entries (in my mind) will be crowded with people, costumes, bots, etc. But you MADE ANOTHER style, playing with scene and that's the way I like it.

Good luck, author. Cheers for the best!

Good image, author. Nice source finds. IMO the hull on the source ship at right is wonky...no fault of yours, but if you had moved it to the right and had the border cut off the jagged part of the hull as if it was emerging from our right, the broken hull wouldn't be a distraction. (As it certainly is for me right now).

This has a beautiful feel to it. Nice work, author. The only thing that distracts me is that the moon is in the background, yet there is a light source causing the brightness on the front of the tree and the woman. This could be electronic light, but judging from the feel of the shot...it wouldn't be artificial light. Don't mean to be too nitpicky...I love the image...just the analytical side of me is getting the better of me. Nice work, author.
