Congrats on winning with a beautiful (yes, beautiful!) entry.

Don't comment on the size of the fish? OK My, that's certainly a tiny bear. ;o) Nicely done image, author.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Just for fun, my Aunt Myrtle. This is gorgeous! One small quibble...the hair. Try taking the natural brush 12 set at 50% and go around hair and beard and just flick it inward, not much, just a little, to break up the uniformity. Try it and if you don't like it, you've only lost 5 minutes. This is a fine entry.

This made me laugh. One suggestion: If you use the smudge tool set at 30 strength, with assorted brushes #54 set at 30 pixels and went around the edge of the cat "pulling" the fur out a bit, it would make it look less cut out. Kind of detailed, but that's cuz I tried it myself to see how it would look.

Love the scroll at the bottom. lol

This is fantastic work! Well done.

This is seriously disturbing. lol Great job!

One more nit picky thing...If there's enough of a breeze to blow her hair back, the breeze would also blow the cigarette smoke back, too. You could lay her hair down and make it a calm night.

The title made me laugh, so I had to come in for a closer look. Good job on rusting that poor car. The peeling roof is a nice touch. Maybe you could beat up the chrome on the grill a little more, like this: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1156437 Or not. I still like it.

Is there some way you could sharpen the girl and rock picture? And then maybe do a lite blur on the horizon. Also, watch your masking. The edges are a bit see-thru.

Because its just easier to hose off? The tape measure looks like part of the original picture. Nicely done.

If this is what's in his toolbox, I don't want this guy building any houses. Well done!

This is a lovely fantasy image. I'm not too sure about the smoke, tho. It seems a little too solid and not quite wipsy enough.

Very pretty. I like the way you did the background.

This is very well done. Its a blues guitar, of course.

I wanna do this kind of stuff when I grow up. Terrific entry!

Too funny, especially since I've seen this look before, a loooooog time ago. lol

Well, keep dancing. I'm adding to the Oh Wow's and Great Job's. I especially like the lighting on the palm tree.

Thank you for the story. I hadn't heard that one before. Its kinda sad, isn't it, in a creepy kind of way.

You did a great job with the lighting.

I like what you did with the skull and especially like the way you have it buried in the sand. Nice entry.

This is very beautiful. I know you don't *have* to, but a SBS would sure be appreciated.

This is a prime example of why I love this place. Great imagination! Good job

Harryhausen would be proud. Good job!

Subtle and very clever
