Thanks for capturing this. So many drops of water on the petals, it's lovely to look at

just remove the border.

and a border

WATER DROPLETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice shot. It almost looks like a carving

Absolutely stunning! Great framing

Nice shot, and catch of the little birdie, makes the viewer look at the whole picture.

Wow, how beautiful = )

Don't be so humble. You should have placed higher but that's my opinion.

great job

Well done on your entry. It's a nice touch to make it look like a watercolor. This is definitely one of the better entries. Good luck to you!

congrats

Congratulations.

Congras!

Congrats! Great job!

Congratulations for 2nd

Really nice, the feather effect is surely well done.

To Moderators.... You removed my image from this contest because of the bird i used. This image used the exact same bird after my entry. Why is it still in the contest. Do you know who we are when you vote and just pick out people, or do you play fair? I have redflagged this before. You never miss an image when ive done somthing wrong. I think you just pick on the same people!

you might want to watch how many birds are in the pic it might be an overkill but good job and good luck:P)

Good, maybe the smoke from her mouth could use some attention and the strange lines from her chest and shoulder dont add a lot.

that bird is a previously manipulated image....... my image was removed for using it.... yet this one is stilllll here...

Is she smoking? GL!

Nice work

Simply beautiful ...

Great affect and very creative! Good luck!

very creative

This is a fantastic pic, really cool effect, I think I agree with Nator, the girl in a setting would be a match winner for me, the feathers are a brilliant touch and you have worked them well.

nice

very beautiful wrk............................

great idea!! beautiful image author!! i like it!!

wow..thanks for the Tutorial on brush design.. really makes this entry SING and also gives others on an insightful way of creating.. AWESOME!!! (Not to mention I'm going to have a blast trying to duplicate the effect... KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and thank you so much for sharing) HIGH MARKS

Stunning piece author

Super effect very nice looking image is this done with Feather Brushes?

edit: yes to that question then…..

yup u r right......full resolution is much better......awesome idea + work.....keep it up...

good entry

Can't wait for the SBS. Cool effect

Interesting work, but too complicated.

GL!

Nice play with letter, I kinda agree with pingenvy about the candy stick though. Nr 1 and 3 are also a bit hard to read. Only "problem" with nr 2 is how we're supposed to read it? EYESPxl? Maybe a little bit further working. Ah, and it's personal but I'd reduce the amount of lensflare lookalikes . Good luck!

Good Luck nice work

I like # 2 best. The others l;eave me with kind of a candy cane feel.

Nice idea good luck!

nice...gl

Nice idea!!!

i think it's nice...but it looks to me with to much white may be..its a little bit hard to the eye

I like #4

good job, =GL
