This is really cool! Just try removing the white edges visible in some dark areas around the trousers....! It would be so much better...! Best of luck!

Good choice of colors and tones....excellent mood and fantastic message induced! Great job!

So all you had to do was create a common light source to make them images better blend into the new scene! On the other hand the image IS indeed a bit blurry so maybe you could have sharpened it a touch or add a High Pass Filter! Hope you'll find these explanations satisfying and Best of Luck!

True, author! Still....there is a difference between "light source" and "lighting effects", meaning that there must be a "light source" in all creations, whilst "lighting effects" are, as implied, just "effects", therefore they are optional! CMKY was reffering to this: your image is a collage of other images taken in different light conditions and under these circumstances the catch is always to be able to combine those images in such a way so that the viewer can't really tell that the final image is actually made out of multiple images. And the most important factor is the "light source"!

Everything in this creation exhales originality, starting with the very well inspired title, continuing with the superb choice of tones and finishing with the excellent emphasis on symbols! A piece of surreal art and definitely a proof of awesome talent and imagination! A good lesson for all of us, the ones who aren't quite there yet....but also the ones who aspire to touch perfection...! HATS OFF!

I knew this was gonna be a tough and super interesting contest and your absolutely amazing creation proved me right....! Fanatastic imagination, awesome technique and great concept! Great choice of title and superb colors and clarity...! Your vision and attention to detail are absolutely remarkable....! All down to one word: SENSATIONAL!

Maybe not the most original use of source...but very nicely done! And some sort of a conflict in shadows...the vase is throwing a shadow behind while the flower and the ring box have a shadow in front. Also the shadow of the vase is less defined than the rest, it almost looks like just some dark spots! Best of luck!

A very romantic creation...excellent use of source and a very natural look, almost like the flowers were supposed to be there! And good relation between the flowers outside and the one in the hair...! Very nice! Simple but definitely effective! Best of luck!

There's something with the image that I can't quite put my finger on! I want to like it cause the colors look really good and promissing, but I think there should have been a more overall deffinition: maybe a better water reflection, maybe a better source of light, maybe some sort of sharpening of the flower itself to help the eye get better focus on the subject...! Good luck!

Good idea! Unfortunately, the mask looks suspended on the face and there should be some sort of a shape where the nose is! A bit more attention to details, more courage in contrasts and it could be so much better! Best of luck!

Very pretty I have to admit, but try adding some shadows and highlights, maybe use bit of the burn tool to create a more dramatic effect and a better contour of the flowers on the backround! And I also think that if you did this, then the flare would pop up better and the whole creation would get a better visible glitter, something to remind us of a dreamy soft look of a "LOVE" postcard! Best of luck!

I won't lie: I do like the image, still some small remarks: there's a bit of a difference between the softness of the hair and the sharpness of the eyes! Also, the green color of the eyes makes her face look too cartoonish, maybe darken the green just a touch or add some shadows and highlights to them! I do agree with the flowers in the background, you could find a better choice and instead try either loosing one of the two flowers in the hair that makes her look like having teddy bear ears or place more flowers of different sizes in random positions on just one of the sides...! Best of luck!

Not bad thinking...very imaginative title as well...! Small remarks though: maybe you could have gone a bit further and make the branches look like actually emerging out of the head! And also...try removing the one on the right side, it sort of distracts and lack sense! Oh...and maybe play a bit more with the pink smoke brushes, make them better defined, cause at this point they almost look like just spots of color! Best of luck!

Love these kind of images..."our imagination is the limit...."! Composition wise...very daring...! Technically speaking...not bad with some short remarks if I may: the little upside down image on the bottom left corner could have been slightly lighter and the overall background maybe not so dark. I know that you wanted the whole creation to pop up, but a different backround color might have actually helped the shadows come out clearer compared with the highlights! But then again...it's a matter of taste, cause overall IT IS a very good composition! Best of luck!

I knew before I voted that it was...you! And that's not a bad thing...! Amazing work...as usual from an artist like you! It will fully deserve the best place! A great example for us all...!

Strong entry! Very imaginative! Best of luck!

This is absolutely amazing...! Incredibly real....and excellent colors! Great imagination...! I love it, I love it! Definitely top three! Best of luck!

This is soooooo funny and so on the theme! Very realistic looking! I love it!

Congrats! A very well deserved 1st place!

Oh...my dear friend...! Thank you so so much! Art can really describe what we can't put in words sometimes...! I feel so honored and deeply touched! My tears of dissapointment and sorrow were replaced by tears of joy and gratitude for having the chance to find such a great and big heart in you! Thank you so much for carying, for sympathizing, for praying! It's a blessing to know that there are still good people out there!
