Sebastian E's other designs are also awesome and bend the rules of possible. Worth a look.

I like that you've used your artistic license to give it a matte finish. It adds to the feel that it is an old model. Well done and good luck

Oh God! This one really made me laugh! It would've been even more authentic if you could've gotten the shadows on the little girl's face in the source on to your old person's face. But even without that, it's quite amazing

It's a good entry. My suggestion is that maybe if you stretched and pulled apart some of the letters to make it kind of blobby and more like the surrounding droplets...and also give a bit more contrast, this would be superb.

Congrats on an amazing interpretation of the theme. The unfinished parts of the puzzle is very much part of the actual object in this case, therefore I think it's brilliantly on theme. Though I do do wish that you'd used something more interesting than a kiwi but that's just me. Well-done!

Love the framing and the lighting. The darkness makes this stand out from all the other entries and does lend that sense of mystery and miraculousness to a closed flower about to open.

Very unique and alien-looking flower. Every aspect of it has been captured beautifully. Congrats.

Congrats on capturing the beautiful colour contrast and texture. The bougainvillea bush, to which this bloom belongs, is very common. But you've made it unique with this shot. It shows that you don't need an amazing subject to create an amazing shot.

Good idea and a great shot, good luck.

IMO, it's kinda not fair that anyone can throw these accusations around without proof. There should either be a rule discouraging comments of this sort, or there should be some way to prove it if someone does raise the issue. Otherwise these doubts should be kept to oneself. But that's just my opinion.

I see you
avatar Mad
Mad says:

Author, the final look is indeed good but the contest is basically about the boat and this is the one thing you haven't demonstrated in your SBS. If you have made it with lines, then please show the stages since I myself have tried to model a paper boat from lines-it may look simple, but I know from that experience that it's far from easy. Hope to see that soon I'll reserve my vote till then.
