I'd like it even more if you warped the text a little to match the contours of the body.

author if you dont want feedback, dont allow comments. Dan has taken the time to give you some meaningful (and deserved) feedback, don't be a douchebag about it.

Glad you said it first Raz... I mean Ricky! I think this time the majority of people will agree with your comment :P

On the photo, it is a nice shot, could be a little sharper but a nice image, GL!

Author, really no need for the snappy comments when it was clearly stated as an opinion. PERSONALLY I agree with you having the focus on the art, but a little more detail on the shoe would have been nice. Peace

of course everyone will apply their own tastes here, and some will love this... others not as much. I think you have a great idea, just a little too busy with the hands and glitter.
Perhaps if you made it more suggestive by only having one hand in shot, and slightly pulling down the underwear (a little to the side of course :P). This is a traditionally suggestive pose and could work well with such a tightly framed shot...

I think we all knew who shot this one. Interesting that the point of focus seems to be on the writing of the camera strap, it certainly draws your eye there. As always, wonderful work with light and shadow!

I hope this is not offensive to you, but if I looked down to a view like that, I'd just glue my chin to my chest! :P

Just the sort of stuff I had in mind - nice work!

Changes have made the world of difference. Top job

ok erikuri, fair call. Hard to tell without an SBS and while we assume the texture is overlaid on the orange, we cant be sure.

I know where this guy came from, he's modeled on Zurg (the badguy from Toy Story . I agree with Kid about the textures, but pverall this is a very good image, nicely done.

Great image and very well blended, my only thoughts are that if you added some rust texture to the wings that might have integrated them a little better (only IMO). Great chop.

I love the image overall, but the sneakers and scarf need to be fixed to make this a contender. I'll hold my vote for now and see what you can come up with.

Very funny and um... asthetically pleasing... but very well chopped also. Nicely done!

Some subtle shading but it has certainly helped. GL

As usual Worlock has it spot on, good changes so far though.

Awesome idea and really well executed. Looks like a scene from Transformers

I really like the cartoony feel to it. A little more shading to give it some depth would be good, and I think the colour on the face is a bit too light and is washed out against the background, but that's imo. Very nice job overall.

Personally I would make the image bigger, and the zip takes too much focus and therefore looks a bit pasted on rather than being part of the orange. Perhaps if you masked out the sides of the zipper and left the teeth, or toned the colour to match the orange more.
Still for a first entry this is very nice!

Simple, well composed and shaded. A very nice end result, well done.

Doesn't the title of the image give that away erikuri?? Anyway a pretty simple chop but I like the effect.

haha, we know why this guy's headed to nimbin! Wonder how much of it is in that bag :P

I dont know if it's the way the bonsai has been cut out but it looks a little rough and doesn't look like part of the background image. You could have just posted the 'house' parts on an existing tree image imo (using a little larger tree image would give more focus on theactual elements of your chop too, it looks a bit tiny now).

Funny idea but I'm afraid the quality of the chop is not great. It doesnlt look like the guns are part of the image, why are some parts of the guns transparent?

Great job, I really cant find anything to pick on with this one.

Very nice job. Good mood to this pic

Quite a simple chop technically, but a great idea and your execution is excellent, a very realistic result.

I'm not a big fan of the background personally, but the birds are great. You have done a wonderful job on the shading.

It is a little flat looking, but I'd expect that - it gives it a nice cartoony feel. Cool image.

I think you need to pay more attention to the size of the faces, it would be more effective if they line up well and look like the same person aged and un-aged.

This has a very nice feel to it and he details are great, especially the long feathers from the tail. I agree with adding a stick to sit on - but it is really great just as is too. Well done.

very imaginitive and wwll exectued.

Great find. I think this would look great if you were able to take the shot without the grass/trees in the shot - going for the minimalist style.

Beautifully done.

Nice shot, out of the box thinking on this one.

beautiful clean capture

That has to be a rotated image. All credit to you author, this is awesome!

I have to agree with Josh here, the dark lighting almost gives the shot a bit of a sinister mood. Like the lobster is going to come back to life and attack. hehe

My fav so far. A good subject, and some thought put into the composition too. Nice job.

I know this is a matter of personal taste, but I find this very unappealing. I think the dark lighting is part of the reason.

I like the finished product. Well blended, but to me it still looks like the tiger wants to eat the poor little guy

It doesn't look like a single picture, but a bunch of images pasted together. Blending, as ankit said, is the art of making the separate images fit together and look like one. Different lighting, image resolutions, perspectives and shadows all contribute to this blending.

My simple advice for this one, try removing the front cat and mouse - might make an immediate difference. Keep practicing!

To me they almost look like musical notes. This is a wonderful capture!

Really good idea. Great shot!

Oh and Karaflazz it's called the 'death star' :P

Nice idea but the execution is pretty average, the background is too harsh and the pic is OOF. Maybe reshoot and I'll hold my vote

Great effect here, makes me dizzy but in a good way

Looks good to me, I wonder if it would look better with his back legs pointing straight down - but that is only a minor thing.

Nice job, I'd fix the shadow though - maybe add a bit of blur and have a play with different blending modes.

This is good work, and funny. Really well done.

I had to look at the SBS to see how you used the source. I think the finished image looks pretty realistic, but not great use of the image (only IMO).
