I think the lower edge of the glass' feet should be darker (compare it to the reference image). But apart from that it's a very good job.

Nice work. IMO it will look even better when the figure is in front of the ladder.

Waiting
avatar dustfinger

I like it when there is a story behind an image. Already some nice work here, but there is room for improvement.
To increase the contrast between foreground and background you could shift the hue of the foreground more to yellow or orange. Also, it would be nice if the tree was much bigger, extending more to the right. If you only show a small part of the leaves, it will give the impression that the whole tree is huge.

Banished
avatar dustfinger

Nice composition. It feels natural. One suggestion: the fruits are very smooth, but the cornucopia is rather grainy. It would be nice if you could make them more equal.

Give Thanks
avatar dustfinger

Good work. Nice contrast between the leaves and the concreate. Maybe you can crop a little from the top to remove the part where the grass extends over the concrete.

autumn trail

beautiful place. I like the mood. Only thing i'm missing is a strong focal point.

Foggy path II
avatar dustfinger

Nice find, i like the bold contrast between the leaves and the background. It would have been nice if you could shot more from an angle to create some depth.

Congrats for your 1st place!

Favorite One
avatar dustfinger

Intriguing image. My only point would be that the blood looks a little 'plastic' to me. Maybe make it less transparent and thinner (and add some drops here and there).

This is a truly elegant image. I like the coloring and texturing.

I hope it only eats fish... Very well blended. Like this very much.

Just a Little of My Life for U

The taste of honey depends on the kind of flowers bees visits, but what how will it taste in this case?
Well constructed, i like the richness in shapes. It looks very good.

Scent
avatar dustfinger

I like the composition. Maybe you could add some grain to the background image to balance it with the foreground.

Dawn
avatar dustfinger

Good job. Repeating the chimney is a nice detail.

rooftop renovation
avatar dustfinger

Nice job on the blending and the colors. A small addendum to the remarks of CMYK and Daniela: The light is coming from behind, so the visible part of the chimney top should be shaded.

poo on the roof

Looks great! Well compsed,nice use of the source.

what is that?
avatar dustfinger

Well blended, good matching colors.

draco
avatar dustfinger

Nice scene, proportions are believable. I do think however , the foreground should be darker and the contrast on the rooftop should be reduced. Apart from that its a nice job.

Cold Summer Night
avatar dustfinger

Looks very good; well blended and composed.

Solitude
avatar dustfinger

good idea. Too make it more real, the edge of the flood should not be single horizontal line, because the pilars are closer to the viewer.

Flooded
avatar dustfinger

Good job. I like the style.

Small suggestion: blurr the lanterns a little. They are too sharp compared to the arch and window.

Edge of Darkness
avatar dustfinger

I agree with mossyB on the lighting on the cherub, but i do not think you should move it backward (or if you do, you should make it smaller). Proportions are OK at the spot it is now.
Otherwise, it is a nice idea, well executed.

Nice image. Well composed, i like the mood.

He shoud wear a crown, then he would be a king.
Nice job. I like the construction of the arms and the pose.

Looks very good (esp. in high-res). Nice work on the waves and the lighting.

You don't want this kind to find the way to your picknick place.... Well done. Good job on the construction and the composition.

Nice image, i like the coloring.

my little poppy
avatar dustfinger

Very good work. The are a lot of nice details and i like the 3D look. Is that water on the inside? I should desaturate it because it takes too much of the attention now. It would be nice if you could add a reflection of the walls or the ceiling of the nest.

avatar dustfinger

Fantastic work, even better in High Res. I like the mood and colors. if the yellow branch would run from the bottom right upwards, it would act as a leading line, guiding the eye to the best parts of this outstanding image.

Nice and clean image. Looks good. I esp. like the work on the ribbons.

Love Fetish
avatar dustfinger

Very well made! The wings looks fantastic (but there is room for improvement at the point where the wing is attached to the body, look at the ref image for that).

The Green Fly

Very nice. Good idea to create a new key from the old one. Great concept and execution.

Discovery
avatar dustfinger

Nice concept. I think i would move the person closer to the key, making the image easier to 'read'.

Destiny
avatar dustfinger

Well done, I like the contrast between hard edged shapes in the background and the more organic shapes of the object.

Playing
avatar dustfinger

Very creative, construction is super. I noticed the image looks a little soft on the site (when opened in PS it is much better). Maybe you could apply some sharpening. Apart from that: Great!

Nice compositin, well done. One small thing: at the top right, where the two sides join, it looks a little odd.
