HDR can be a great tool author but there does come a point where an image gets over processed. When you start to see halos like we are seeing here you need to adjust some things.

Looks like a great mural, just wish you had got a better shot.

The wings probably would have looked better pointing upwards behind her head, at the moment it really doesn't looked joined to the girl....
I see the girl is rather large for a fairy lol.... im trying to figure out what you are feeding those plants in your garden to hold her up

Goodluck author :P

Corrected links have been supplied by the author:
http://lisajen-stock.deviantart.com/gallery/3494483?offset=96#/d1g9b06 is the correct link for the fairy
http://toxicsoil.deviantart.com/art/Summer-Garden-200454696 is the correct link for the garden

That's a HUGE fairy!

i don't think the butterfly wing is on the spot , but i don't have a suggestion about how it would be better hmm

The flash you used when you took the picture is too contrasting for this image, since the light source is from the sunset behind her. You might be able to offset it a bit if you very slightly darken the dancer layer.

The edges are a bit too sharp, giving it a "cut and paste" look.

You can't "source" link from your PC, it only uses URL addresses.

May want to crop the bottom a bit, there are still some tree tops showing. Nice photo!

I still see yellows and blues in this.

I like the red tones! They really pop out! GL!

very good start for a wonderful collage, good luck!

Well it looks better cause of the shape of the girl, but in order to make it stand out more you should adjust the background with levels(ctrl L), making it darker and blur it a bit.
Instead of that bush for hair i would use these:
http://cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=24807&PHPSESSID=a93838f6f73551a605c8878ac381b63c
It's copyright free, it's already cut and would make a nice touch to the pic, chromatically and volumetrically.
Contest is over, so you can't edit your image no more, but you can make it for yourself and enter it in Mix manipulations contest or in your portfolio.
PS: try dodge & burn to create light & shadow on the body.

Oh, Ranum chick = female model posing for Marcus J. Ranum - brilliant man, kudos to him.
On deviant whatever user has "stock" in his name, provides his images free to use- but you have to credit him, so read his terms of use. Some ask link with the work or to be informed by mail, etc.
The link i gave you is usable since is mjranum-STOCK.

There's too much going on- the main focus of the composition cannot be distinguished since elements are fighting with eachother= no harmony.
White element vs black element, both vertical vs green diagonal plant, my brain goes wha..huh !?!

You had a good idea with the back, why not take a photo of someones naked back and warp/ distort the clock on it, play around.
A Ranum chick usually does the trick IF she's not dating any recent / current entry.
But don't rely only on her - you need to do some work as well. Here's a nice back, her name's Candace Nirvana ( wow ):

agrees with Erathion.

I checked and I guess that rule has been removed.

I agree with Mark and Josh but there's actually three entries that are clearly yours....You just have to be a little more sure of the image your wanting to show (with three entries so similar it just seems indecisive) Be confident! You have great pictures GL

I agree though! It's more fun when people can't tell which photos go with which author! Try taking a picture of just one piece of jewlry. Like your one favorite necklace or ring or pair of earings. So that the main focus will be on one thing and can stand out more! Hope to be of some help. GL

ooooooo I see what you are saying. Ok cool.

nice shot author...to bad hydrant is not in main focus...best of luck

It has been removed? I'm gonna have to go back and check.. it should still be there!

and I can tell you did! Great job but either take a bit more out or add some I think blue... just look at the wood of the fence. That's where you can see the red more where it shouldn't be. You are (to me) almost there but have headed in the right direction!

As much as I agree with you Kyricom, the "Entering similar Entries" rule has disappeared.

See if you can find it because I could not and the author is going to think we're liars.

Look at it this way, author. By entering more diverse photos, it shows more creativity in a contest and the best reason the rule was implemented to begin with.,...

..... if you can find it.

ummm... these are nice, but having two entries exactly alike isn't allowed as it compromises anonymity. You should either red-flag yourself and ask them to remove one (which would reduce your entry limit by one for this contest), or go to "edit entries" and upload a different shot. GL

I would just suggest taking some red out.

The paper swan is lit from the opposite side of the real one (look at the shadow beneath the real swan's neck).

Nice job author, looks better!

The swan still has a lightly blueish tone. I suggest to take a look to this:

http://www.worth1000.com/tutorials/162206/introduction-to-match-color

It is a very useful tool and may help. The tone is the only flaw I see here

why not putting it on the water..i think that would be better..what do u think?

It looks a bit floaty at the moment, a bit of shadow on the ground and a few pieces of grass showing infront of the swan would help give it the impression of sitting on the ground.

Of course you did it intentionally and a great shot it is!!!

That's great, hell mistakes = innovation. Nothing wrong with admitting to how something was learned and achieved, unless it was illegal.

Naming your entries nearly identical isn't exactly anonymous

HOLY COW!!!! Very pretty!

Beautiful!!!! Love it!

I would have made it intentional GL!

I really like the effect, and when I first looked at it I thought it was intentional. I wouldn't own up to the mistake if I were you

This really draws you in! nice shot and good luck!

You have a few dirt spots on your sensor

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

the pegs aren't really the main focus here.

Welcome to Pxleyes. You can upload a 'high res' of your jpeg when you submit an entry by ticking the 'Save full resolution image' box.
You can also edit an entry by clicking on 'My Stuff', then 'My Contest Entries', reloading the image and ticking the 'Save full resolution image' box at the bottom.

Your welcome!

I like the angel, it adds interest-straightening it would be boring-

Suggest you upload a high res & straighten your image..
