This pic is so brilliant. Well done on being honest about the rules - glad it doesn't need resubmitting anyway. Its terrific. I would also love a more in depth SBS so that we can learn and appreciate it even better.

Author, it's very appreciated that you are honest and wanting to replace the entry. The last weeks however the (digital) drawing rules have been losen up *a bit*, to give authors some more freedom.
Soon there will be decided which rules will maintain and which will be removed, until that time people are a bit more allowed to experiment with for example the things you did.
For your case, if you want to edit your entry, you can do it. Resubmitting your work should not be necessary.

This is awesome. Very good work. Not only is this a fantastic work of quality but I also loved the whole idea of it. Specially the wind and flying papers.

nice composition... some of the execution needs work though. The pool table is abruptly cut off at the top. I can tell that you were attempting to have the image fade out by that point, but it didn't quite make it. I can still see a very hard line at the top, and it slices right through the middle of the corner pocket of the pool table. just crop your image to this line and you should be good. Keep practicing with your lighting and fading...

I really love it! It kind reminds me of a really old game where the sky was colourful and the foreground black, including the hero.

Very good idea for use of the source. In hi-res there are a few obvious straight crop lines, otherwise well done!

Very nice effect, but the shadows on the vines are too dark in comparison to the rest of the image. They are almost black compared to the shadows of the bricks they are attached to. If you lighten them just a bit, they will look a bit more realistic.

Lotta work! I think I'd make the left edge of the foreground rocks & the ground by the girl's feet sharper. GL author!

avatar Glam0urGirl2007

the people should of been blended better just a bit more, the colors of the men seem cooler than the image itself.

A bit too much of a color cast, it has a hard green tint overlying the wonderful natural color of the squash, but the photo itself, sans the plasticy, artificial color is wonderful!

Interesting how/why the background shot has the sides skewed inwards. Very nice work on your 'anomaly' - the folks in the background appear puzzled by it, great find and chop!
