Great work

not exactly my cuppa tea, but still good though

Dramatic. Cool texture and color palette. The angled horizon doesn't work for me, however. The sails blocking the view of the skull's mouth seem to imply added meaning but I don't see what that might be (and the title provides no clue). [Why not move the skull to the right so nearly half of it is outside the frame?] I also think the waterline at the base of the skull should be ever so slightly curved instead of the perfectly straight line seen here in order to be more realistic since the neck should be jutting out into the water.

Striking and enigmatic, i.e., very compelling. Very cool font for the text. If the butterfly is supposed to be the focal point, I think it needs to be a tad more intense. Alternatively, muting the butterfly and adding a near-candy-apple-red clown nose might create a more disturbing focal point that taps into some people's [not unjustified IMO] fear of clowns.

Congrats on bronze!

Congrats!!

Congrats!!

congrats

I love the angle, it's very dramatic! Great work, good luck author!

Congratulations for making it to the next round....good luck!

Congrats for making it to round 3

nicely done

Ok, I saw the image before, and now it's way better. But, if we thought of its surrealistic side, it wouldn't matter which crack the water was pouring down from... whatever, it's a catchy work, good luck, author!

Sorry for the mistake!!

Ahhhrrgg...pirates! Very nice work, textures create a most appropriate mood!

Awesome!

you're irritatingly good!

@Sofie73 - If you look at the rules for Photoshop Contests: http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/photoshop/ You will find that only brushes that are based on illustrations of any kind are not permitted, photo based brushes and simple brushes are permitted. You also posted a red flag elsewhere about filters not being allowed, again if you read the Photoshop Rules there is nothing that forbids their use. You may be confusing these rules with those of the Drawing Contests which are not the same. All brushes require links be posted as the author mentioned.

Awesome!.. looks like a movie poster..great chop!!.
High marks author..GL

It would be nice if you post an SBS, thanks! and just a question: is it possible to use brushes in a contest?? thanks

Awesome!!! Powerfull scene!

Oops, ok! I was wrong! You missed it! Hahaha ...
Much better now!

I think the answer to the question of wazowski about the waterfall is: the "opposite" angle due to the way of crack. Am I right, author?

I was able to express myself well? Sorry, my english don't help me sometimes!.

Nice work, author! Good luck.

It's a kind of Mad Max...

Awesome, I like all the cracks and the waterfall, and the color tones here, good luck = )

Nice colors, good research ! Question about the waterfall: you made the offspring of it from the opposite angle of how the angle of the side of the 8 is. That's done on purpose (surreal aspect) or do I see it wrongly? Good luck!

Edit: changed

Very cool!

Congrats!!! it's great!
