The fog/cloud work is interesting, love the shiny dragon. Check the masking at the rear of its head, along the plumes and the beard. Cool looking entry.

Nice job, what technique?

Good one.

Nice work!

Nice job, congrats.

Great take on the subject, "rust." The flowering vine eases my thoughts of needing a tetanus shot.

Nice work blending the fur after cutting the bears out. If you used the smudge tool to add to the height/ tips of their fur, you did a masterful job.

Oh, for the sky in background, a soft blur brush will help remove some of the speckling.

The bears' ground shadow is better. Maybe tone the brightness of those bears' highlights down some, they are in the shade of the the buildings.
Check the girl with the teddy bear's shadow, the opacity in particular. Look at the bicycle shadows for a reference. The girl's shadow looks too dark, maybe a tad of Gaussian blur and a slight opacity reduction. Hope this helps.

Yep a nice piece, deserving of a high score. Congrats.

Congrats on the win and the high score.

One more time

congrats!

@ still26, join the fun. The only way to learn is to do. Come join us.

Good job, congratulations. I really liked this one.

Congrats!

Nice job, congrats George.

A not so chopped beyond recognition, if I may say.

Viva la com·mer·cial·ism.

Good use of source. Love those lemon eyes.

I like what i see, check the shadow and perspective on that incense burner and tone the brightness of the smoke down a little. I think you can do it, even if it is hot man.

Where did those "5 " plates come from?... Am i missing something?

You have got time, work on Rob's shoulders and arms. Maybe an oval mask job?

Nice work, extra points for the plan and photography work.

Nice work.

Nice warp job.

Optically delusional.

Very interesting..

Nice "CBR," shadow could have been a little better.

Monkey Karaoke.

Damnnnnn that's a big ass squirrel.

Are the derby girls your own photo?

Nice filter work.

Maybe some shadow beneath the frame on her legs?

The edges of that hole are kinda sharp.

Some motion blur might help.

Nice picture of a stone yard. Kudo's

Looks military. God rest ye merry souls, Semper Fi.

This one looks like a live real time photograph. No PS involved, but I could be wrong.

Agreed, the rain effect makes it poignant. If that's real rain.

Well done "optical illusion," fits the term no doubt.

Cool idea, I think it would look even cooler if you worked the base of those "ring worms" some. Maybe some shadow/grounding work; or make it look like they were coming out of the ground texture.

On a second thought, nice work. I get it, those butterflies are the backboard.

Interesting butterflies. Did you make them? Maybe a step by step is in order or a source link. Good concept, nice execution.

I meant to say place the whole "statue" either side. Work the perspective some too. Just my 2 cents worth.

Maybe mask the statue and place it either side, work on the shadowing.

Rude concept, but good. Check the glare on the "shroom head" though.

Yes, much better. Good luck.
