The edges of the hoverflyuare a bit too sharp, and the white balance a bit too bright for the rest of the image. I would suggest the tiniest bit of blur around the body, and reduce the white (Image>Adjustments>Selective Color) just a couple of degrees but otherwise, VERY creative!

Good use of a dopey source.

The light on the sprinkes is opposite of the lighting on the candle. Other than that it is a very creative idea!

Nice one! GL!

I like the caricature style of this!

congrats

Congrats Rick!

congrats

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Rick, nicely done!!

Congrats!!

Great work, you do these so well! I keep looking back at this, it seems so familiar, then I realized...we've had contests where the pets look like the owner, this one looks like Mad magazine's Alfred E. Neuman's!

Very creepy author...good work! (Might suggest doing something creepy with the eyes too).

Great blend. Good luck!

Congrats again Rick!!

Congrats Rick!!

I couldn't guess who was the one! had to check the original picture. Nice job author, great blending!

Congrats!

Congrats on 3rd, Rick!

No, he just used his imagination.

I think I'd liquify the background some to match the original...otherwise, good work.

You're right Pearlie, I did not realize that it was the idea of the author in the beginning, but now, it makes sense, the word "dwarf" tells everything...sorry author, still a good chop.

Very cool creature, nice blending.

The ice cube makes perfect sense, to show the very small proportion of the bear. Good idea, author, just wondering what you did to his poor butt? or is that freezer burn?!

very nice

Excellent.

very funny and incredibly well made. The guy on the left looks amazing, while there's a lil bit of chromatic disturb on the mouth of the dog with the cap!

Your entry is good, but it would have been better if you had used real snow....you know...instead of standing on an ice cube. This is my opinion, your image is not so bad. Good luck.

OMG!! I love it! Great blend, too. Looks dog-on natural!

Great source find & blend...GL author!

I can't work out who actually owns the face - which is proof of this being a great blend

Good blend as usual.

Whoa! That's definitely the shallow end of the gene pool! Excellent chop, totally believable.

Much better GL pal

dance for film Fantasy? bravo

IMO the back ear should not be there according to face of the creature...try to work on that if you want to !!!
otherwise its Nice

Great blend...very believable!

very fine job of blending

How long would it stand up? Nice entry

Congrats Rick, well done!!

Congrats for 2nd
