Does she ever have a skin problem!!!! Love it as always. GL

Why no SBS? I think many, myself included, would like to know how you handled the background. Is it a painting? GL

Always one of my favorites. You are so talented!

Great job on both your entry and your SBS. GL

Good job!!!!

Sorry you didn't read the rules. Try again, though.

Your work is always so creative. Love it! GL

Really special! Great job.

Very creative! GL

Great - as always!

Nice colors. Flowers and stems should be smooth and sleek. Nice photos to help on morguefile.com

Great work, but agree the left eye needs some work. GL Will vote later.

Is he related to ET??? Great entry.

Wonderful entry!! Congratulations!

Such a beautiful entry! Congratulations!

Congrats!

Great entry!

I love the idea. Frog reflection doesn't match the frog , but that would be easy to fix. GL Am going to hold my vote.

Much better. Love it!

Love this!! Really needed a chuckle this morning. Great work! GL

A terrific job!! A real winner!! GL

Love it! Very well done.

This is such great work!!!! Nothing compares in this contest.

Lovely as always!!

I really like your ideas. Higher score if hi res edges were chopped better. GL

This is such beautiful work! You should illustrate books! Congratulations!!!!!!!Just bought a Wacom tablet and hope your SBS helps me learn to use it.

Pretty combination of colors, but when flowers are 'flipped', shadows should be changed.

Cute idea, but you wouldn't be able to see the bird's back according to the angle of the roof. GL

I love the work you've done. Colors and blending are great! It seems that the horizon over the falls is far too high for the angle of the source bird. I would like it with just what you've added in the foreground. GL to you.

Most original idea and great work!!! GL

Would love to learn 3D - You did a great job. GL

A nice design with great flow to it. GL

Love it! GL

Great composition, but can you put a layer over the background so that it doesn't compete so much with your center of interest? GL

Your work shows great originality. Love it! GL

Maybe this will help some folks STOP smoking!! Wonderful job! GL

Congratulations! I love it.

Love it!!! (I have a really bad cat, too)

You can be commended - especially if you are new. Really great work!! Says so much!

Would love to see more contrast between your balloon and sky. Love the balloon.

Nicely done in very artistic manner.

A tremendous story. I wish your work wasn't quite so dark because I want to study it more, but the way you have expressed yourself is awesome.

Great work! Congratulations!
