Nice chop and thanks for not making it another annoying "anti cigarette" ad.

great job

great work with the source......... all the best to u .......

Very cool work author.With bad source u'r created great image...Good luck

Really nice atmosphere, and very good shading. High resolution is really excellent. The hand on the left is a tap "over-warped" near the edge which leads to a loss of resolution but the rest is excellent. Great way of thinking and very good image. Good luck!

Edit: Perfect!

congrats on 1st place....

Thats original I think it's good of you to try to learn from other peoples suggestions. Good luck!

Funny image the sky looks very nice. I would suggest to change the shadows. The shadow of the man is way to big and comes to far to the front, while the shadow of the tree isn't getting any close to that and it's even higher. Removing the shadow on the front hill and sharpening the edge of the tree shadow (also stretch the shadow more downwards without fading it out) would finish the job Good luck!

I'm unfamiliar with the idiom, so I appreciated the explanation. The wooden landscape is lovely, but I don't get why the figure is also made of wood.

much better!.. and i agree... this one draws me back as well

I don't often mark things as my favourites unless they keep me coming back to see it.. and every 30 minutes or so i find myself staring at this again and again... Wow.

i agree!! great job!!... somethin bout the bottom of that tree looks a little off to me... could just be me though.. Great Work!!

Very surrealistic approach and a lovely representation of the idiom... great job!

Black humour!

Fix your links...
Edit: Links OK now.

nice idea

romantic,and nice

Nice job on the cloning. You're new I'm assuming. When I started here it was a little tough, but I have figured out the site a lot better than I use to. If you want to add some moonlight to the water. Try using the dodge tool. Adjust the opacity of the dodge to about 40% and mess around with the brush settings. And to make it look really good. Try to spread the light across the water and fade it as it gets closer to side. Do you know what I mean?

very nice!

i would use a simple splatter brush. white as the color... vary the opacity as you paint.. then change the blend mode of your reflection layer to overlay.. .. trick is not to over do it

that looks a bit better... a high res would be helpful.
