A bit too dark overall, but wonderful balance. The cloud swirl at the top really sets the composition.

congratulation !

hey good pic... seems the crocodile itself is very curious to give you the shot

Nice image author, showing the headstones in the background keeps this image On Theme.

wow what a lovely statue

66+. That's a great score for a first entry. Hope to see more of your work!

Just wanted to let you know that you did a fantastic job! I wish that my first attempts at digital drawing were near as good. Hope to see you enter more!

VERY NICE!!! wonderful work

I think you did quite OK. I agree with aheman's comments about the glass brim and the watch face, but overall this is a great first attempt. For me, the most fun is the experimenting. I look forward to more of your entries!

Congratulations on your first place! I'm so proud to see this! *hugs*

the glass brim should be facing front (follow the books angle)

the watch's glass should catch some light from the candle, add a small glass-reflection would be nice.

shape of glass should be smaller at the base of the wine.

the overall mood and colors-combination is great... wonderful first try

Perfect!

oh yes, UFOs are everywhere!!!

Looks better, but the moon looks kind of transparent. If you see the left side, where the stars overlap the moon. It should not be stars in that area...same to the right side, unless, it is kind of UFO's? This can happen you know..... good luck!

yes, I like this much better The only thing I'm not sure about is the amount of light shining from the moon.

Nice framing....
The expression could be better tho (imho).

nice

Unique and fascinating, great work.

nicely done

Congrats

Congrats! 140 entries and you made top three! Definitely an amazing entry.

you can just use an infrared filter, it works the same and you have to do some post editing stuff

Cool - he lloks like a statue

Great, I have a camera that I would love to get converted to infrared, but it seems to be very expensive.

Looks like an old 1950's monster movie!

awesome capture!!!!!!

Thats amazing! Just curious, what does infrared exactly do to a photo?

I see white screen...why?

I'm sorry but i didnt see anything

The sky is very blue, but your sunflowers have lost a lot of their colour, I would work a little more on this one.

very cool work author...best of luck
