just... wow. Really beautiful.

Oooo, I really like the texture of the tangerine slice. It looks so soft and delicate.

Funny concept, gave me a giggle. Work on blending the snow and tone down the colors and contrast on the snowboard guy. Try matching the red on his pants to the red in the orig picture, maybe that will help.
Great work!

Great work!

:O
This picture is awesome! I love the mood and the color work.
After looking at the hi-res though, the perspective between the sheep and the backpackers looks off; right now they appear to be the same distance from the viewer, but I think that if you made the sheep a little further away, it would be more believable. Right now, the backpacker and sheep are competing for attention... if that makes sense.
Great work!

I love this, made me smile several times.

Omigosh, that is fricken awesome. At first, I was like, "dude, where's the source picture?" Then, I took a look at the SBS, step 8 looks like crazy time. GJ!

I am very picky about giving out really high scores, and this got one. Really excellent work, the high rez is definitely worth a look.

I love the mood here. Great imagination! Wish there was a hi rez pic.

I like how the negative space flips back and forth with the positive space.

This one has a nice feeling.

This one made me smile.

Lion!

Wow, pretty fricken neat! The high rez is definitely worth a look; great attention to detail.
I do agree on Gareth's kite comment.

Wow, gave me chills, really beautiful.

Nice mood. I wish there were more elements used from the source image.

Awesome!

I love the texture. Good job at the plastic/clay look

Neato! I'd like to know how you did it though. I'll hold my vote till we get the SBS.

I love the one reading, very engaging.

Very cute!

I like the colors here, looks like a toy land or something. It would be nice to have some folks reacting to this huge sun guy walkin down the street.

Very creative!

I love the way the brain looks around the thumb. Nice colors. Good job!

This one's fun; you captured a good mood.

Lovely. It looks like a painting. Very clean.

Awesome! Did the pic justice.

Fricken awesome

Beautiful work. Something about the face doesn't feel right to me though, just a little too hazy or something, would like to see you choose dark or light on the face. The work on the fabric and the atmosphere is excellent.

I really liked this, but then I took a look at the high rez and was a lil disappointed by the halo around the tuba player and the lighting on him doesn't match the room as well. If you just fixed those few things, it would be super awesome! Nice work otherwise, fun atmosphere.

Awww, now I gotta think of something else to do . Nice work!

You gotta look at the high rez, the low rez has weird lines in the background. Nicely done, looks like a watercolor painting. I just wish the seam in the middle was a little less pronounced.

Haha, nice!. But the third dog over has this highlight that doesn't make sense in the picture and the lighting on the doberman face is more flat than the others. GL!

Very cute. I'd like to see the rope make sense. It would be just one big 'U' I think, with the cat at the lower most point, or kind of a \_/ shape. GL!

Love the colors here. UPon looking at the High res, I think the figure could be better blended into the overall image, she/he looks pasted on.

Awesome! I love the juxtaposition of the mirrored buildings with the UFOs.

Haha! Simple and clever.

very clean work and nice composition.

This totally messes with my mind. Great job!

Whoa! Well done.

LOL, that's what I have to say about this, nicely done, pretty flawless.

Simple, but smart.

I think it's a beautiful image. Apparently there's a bunch of people here who have seen a "real ufo" and claim that this doesn't look like one. I will attest that I have never seen one and for all I know this is exactly what a UFO looks like.

When did Photohop coontests become about realism? You could make a doghouse out of an apple if you like. :P

Nice image, but would have liked to have seen the source image used more.

That's awesome. I wish the background were different. The quality of the picture is kind of bad, but you kept true to it with the Photoshopping, so to me, the illusion looks very real.

This scares my brain.

That is really cool, however, I wish the baby were in the same focus as the rest of the picture. Everything has a nice Gaussian blur to it and that baby is just crystal clear. Evening out the tones and sharpness of the three main items would really add to the painterly quality of it. Nice job overall though for sure!

Cute, gave me a giggle

Nice!
