nice work

good job

like the colour and composition very much author...gl...

veryyyy nice

It' true... A bit of sadness is needed, to be able to feel happiness and to know how valuable is this feeling. Very touching entry!

A lovely whimsical entry! For some reason it reminds me a little of Pippi Longstockings. Well done!

Very nicely done, I really like the ethereal feel of the piece. Best of luck to you.

Very creative and a lovely, surreal image. Having the statues behind the curtain while the umbrella is in front of it might a be little too surreal, however. Also, I confess I would have struggled to identify the sad elements without your explanation. The colorful, entranced gazing statues, for example, don't immediately say "sadness" to me.

Nice entry, very playful and colorful.

very very cool work author...high marks from me...

Congrats!

Very good.

nice idea good chop good luck today author

I love the grass effect..

Beautiful and colorful image. Cute entry

I like it all, great job, creative.

This is a beaut!! I knew who it was the moment I saw it. More inspirations lately, huh? Nice job, author! Perhaps more contrast and color/saturation would really enhance the girl's presence as being part of her environment. Nice to see more of your work showing here.

Very cute. The intense colors fit the fantastical environment. I like the addition of the bear to give the girl something to be looking at and then linking it to the source pic by giving it a heart-shaped tulip (a bit too cutesy for me when the adolescent tulip in the source is charming enough IMO). I might add a tad more burning where the cross bar meets the stems to make it look more constructed than natural (perhaps a different viewpoint from Alan2641's). I'm not a big fan of perfect symmetry: Only manufactured swing brackets would be expected to be identical. [At least horizontal flip the right one.] The big tulips' petals are different, yet their leaves are the same.

Lovely image overall -- blending of the feet and the grass is very nice -- Maybe a little touch up on the masking\blending of the cross bar at the tulip stems
Much Better

This is truly magical, very nice

What a lovely fantasy image! And i'll bet you i know who made it!
