perhaps a bit of shadow work for the straw, hands and clothing on the wall would give this a touch out of frame look

Much better gives it more pop

Looks graet

The image of the woman is very low res and has a white outline. Doesn't help the quality of your image.

Congrats!

I really like how both the image elements and the image quality are retro. It does bother me, however, that the bottle labels aren't curved as if they were actually wrapped around the bottle. (And while modern-day Popeyes has chosen to eschew the apostrophe in its name for its chicken outlets, I suspect a retro soda purveyor would want to make it clear that its pop belongs to Papa—but maybe my dirty mind misunderstood the name in the context of the image.)

I admit the 'retro ad' element of the contest made me think magazine ad which would be a portrait rather than a landscape orientation. Such an aspect constraint might resolve my composition concerns here. Specifically, symmetry is formal and a bit boring unless formality is the point. Mirroring accentuates symmetry. But I don't think soda pop wants to be seen as formal.

this is terrific (his winky eye is missing) but I don't think that detracts in any shape or form... it has a great portrait angle and would look GREAT FRAMED!!! good luck author

It's a pity that the mouth has maintained its liquify look.... I'd say it's the only thing that's stopping it from being a great entry.

It's a bit too dark and the torso should be defined... otherwise well done.

I saw already. I started watching tutorials for those filters. To be honest , I used liquify only for making tattoos and not all of them...
It's cool that there are many ways to use this filter!

I would love to see how you manipulated that image. It's truly awesome!!!

Author, this surely has potentional. Just fix the hair (good visible hairstrings, your source is great for that) and the eye (get real eyelashes, real pupil, check how highlights and shade work in a real eye + make it look a bit less blurry under), listen to kyricom and you have some cool character! Original pick of subject! Good luck!

Cool idea. You need the metal thing on her arm

Poorly done low res face. Your source images were much higher res...suggest you take the time to re-do this. The idea is good.

Congrats!

Congrats again!!

Congrats!!

Dang, the most frightening Popeye yet!

The way the clock is made in this egg makes the egg not look like an egg anymore but more like a flat surface. You'd better warp the shape of the clock in an egg-form.

Looks better. GL, author!

awww my boy is handsome!

Nice mixing

Nice work! The only thing that disturbs a little is that the reflection looks different than the egg.

Nice composition

Congrats!

Congrats!

Looks much better. That other one looked really fake

Not sure about the scar on the cheek

Nice blend

The gaze is very riveting. Love the color & blend. Well done!

great job. i love it

great idea, great fantasy, bravo

good luck author!!!

Good luck on this author (Do you think some burning on the super white pieces may add to their depth? They are giving off a bit of a flat feel at the moment, but that might have been your goal)... (The clock timers look a bit stretched horizontal in my eyes as well) but in the surreal that is perfectly fine. once again.. GOOD LUCK

fantastic...

Love the water 'bluing' effect!

cute little sub thingy

Love the mood of it

Might be good to straighten the reflection & include the reflection of the thing she's sitting on. Otherwise it's a good image.

wow

Doesn't look any different.

Not bad, but try to straighten the nose cone on your rocket. It should also follow the curve of the body.

dude, there is some sort of creativity in you.............keep it up

I agree with CMYK about the disc thing, doesn't add to the image IMO. I would try and correct the perspective issues between the rhino and the wings, the wings look straight on and the rhino is sideways.

Pretty good idea...your masking could use a tweak, and there are small dark artifacts on either side of the disc thing, which IMHO you could do without.

Congrats!!

Congratulations!
