I still think it's a great entry Author!

Disagree with Jawshoewhah... i think it's a GREAT use of the source! It looks so real! Most people just warp and stretch the source out of all recognition but this is just right!

Perfect use of source.. it can easily be recognized. Well done

post an SBS, and maybe try to add more depth to the shapes

Edit; SBS stands for Step By Step Guide

Looks too simple to me, filter only entries aren;t usually considered manipulations. Try to do more with the source.

Great work.

Your selections seem a bit rough and a bit too feathered, i also think that a black and white image (maybe at about 80% opacity to bring in a bit of colour) would look great. Good luck!

place shadows under each cross, and try adjusting the brightness, the original source was a bit too bright.

I TRIED!!

A good suggestion by Nasir, looks good otherwise

LOL your subconscious is trying to tell you something here...

Beautiful shapes and very nice lighting. Good job!

I suggest removing the heavy vignette, it's distracting.

Very nice work! There's a lot going on in the image, but i think it all works very well. Legs and feet seem a bit small.. but great job overall!

Haha!! You did it very well.. i'm sure Nasir will be PROUD!! Haha

It's very dark, so it really doesn't show much of the effort you put in. If you could brighten it up, maybe make it a daytime scene, it will be a lot better.

Good luck!!

Edit: Your SBS really shows the beauty of the beatle, all the more reason to brighten it up a tad.

Re-Edit: That's it i'm marking it as my favourite.. the image may be a little dark but that beatle is amazing... wow.

Re-RE Edit: Very fast change! Great result.. the shadow is still a bit dark but you are still incredible!

The bird in the distance seems a little big, but maybe that's just part of the fantasy!

Good blend and wonderful colours.. well done

Wow author.. the shapes, the light.. and the imagination! All excellent! Great job

Wonderful! Good job

Very intelligent take on the theme.

Looks like you discovered the secret.. now tell the rest of us!! :P

Good job

Congratulations Oana..

The stalk of the plant in the middle lacks depth in my opinion, but it's a very imaginative entry! Good work

Oh lord.. a HUG? He'll be begging for a while i think...

Great job author!

Very believable... right side is a little blurry but great work overall. good job!

There is no seam on the inside of a tennis ball.. convinving effect apart from that. Good luck!

Very authentic, good work.

What a lovely fantasy image! And i'll bet you i know who made it!

Beautiful entry! Great facial expressions and lovely choice of colours.Excellent job and good luck!

Not bad, good job!

It's very hard to see the source, and it;s very minimal use of the contest image. You should also correct your spelling to "Remember"

Very well done.. and a fantastic idea!

Interesting idea.. good job!

If i'm honest Author, i think the image looked better without the model.. but it's your image! Good luck

EDIT: Good choice, author! Now the attention is focussed solely on your magnificent bubble.

Very nice! Interesting idea

Incredible! The detail is amazing! Fantastic work...

I feel like the left hand side is a tad too dark... but overall the image is magnificent. Well done

Wonderful Image, great bubble effect.

Very well created! Awesome!!

Great change

Very clever creations! However, in high resolution you can see that one of the UFO's on the top left hand side ends very abruptly, if you could smooth that out it'll be great. Good luck!!

Barnacle, in high res i think the hand looks very natural around the screen.

Getting that off the ground is mystery enough... great job author!! hahaha.

UFO lacks depth, looks like a paper cutout.

I agree.. people hold money upside down all the time, maybe not a million dollars.. but still.

flip the head horizontally and like alan said, work on matching the shadows

Great idea! Spot on...

Very nice creation!

Wonderful creation.. very detailed alien
