Good one! I like the one looking up at the others.

It's cool how you used the crosses for the table design. Maybe some more shading on flower material since you have a shadow coming off the vase. The butterfly is a great idea, but maybe would show up better if larger and featured against the dark background as it flies toward the flowers. I didn't see it until I read your SBS. Hope these ideas help. Still a nice composition. GL to you.

Congrats, Arca!! Good job!!!

Congratulations, and CLOSE ONE!!!!

Contrats, Cornelia. Terrific work as always.

A great entry, author, So sad to think our beautiful world could end up like this if many don't change their ways. A real winner!!! GL

A most original concept - great job! GL

Really nice work here, although I don't understand the monochromatic part. It seems she is monochromatic instead of the dream. Maybe I just don't understand your concept here, but your work is so well done.

This makes my stomach fall to think of dropping off like this!!!! Poor guy! I agree on shadow problems and since he is getting light mostly from behind, I agree that the wall which is falling needs to be really shadowed. Love your idea!! GL

Great work, author. Maybe you could try creating a folder when you begin your entry, then number and save as many steps as you have time for (in both PSD and JPG) That way you can go back to any step you need to, and also have your JPG's right at your fingertips when ready to upload. Folks do like to see your SBS before they vote, even if you only show a few, so maybe this would help. Good luck to you!!!!

Really nice entry, and an excellent SBS. We should have a kaleidoscope contest. I've wanted to try one. GL

Beautiful work on your chosen subject.

So very creative - always!!

Congratulations on a beautiful entry!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Great job!!!

Just love this piece!!! Congratulations!!!

What a peaceful, beautiful feeling! GL

Sorry, but have trouble getting votes to register. I think this went through as 2 which I did not intend.

Blending is really well-done. IMHO, maybe get rid of blur around the glasses, then it will be 100% I really love it, though!!

Too bad that there is no SBS - esp when it's a really great entry!

Love the techniques, but feel so sorry for that instrument - it will never be the same!!! I play a stringed instrument, and a musician tries to avoid damp weather let alone rain! GL

Really imaginative! Hope to see lots more of your work!! GL

I really llike that you did something different. That's the only way to grow. I agree about having the child looking up, but congrats on a good entry! GL

My little 3 yr old grandaughter really studied this when I showed it to her. She couldn't quite figure it out!!! Great job! GL

Clever !! Original!! Great entry!! GL

Wonder what the butterfly from this will look like?????? Love it! GL

I hope viewers will go into the hi res on this work to really appreciate how well done it is. GL

A nicely rendered, very 'lyrical' piece of work. GL

Great entry! GL

Wonderful creation and the SBS is OUTSTANDING!!!!

I love the colors and enjoyed your SBS.

Congratulations, Cornelia!!! A wonderful work!

Just great!! Creativity +++++

Would probably use yellow inside eyes and mouth areas to set apart from the background. But, otherwise, good job! GL

Love him!! Great work!
