fun work! Do you think moving the second parrot up about a third of the way would help destroy the horizon line? It might be just me, but I keep mentally pushing it up higher so it forms a diagonal through itself into the girls head and then hit the second parrot? excellent image all around Good LUCK!!!

Why is @CMYK46 voted down when he is right? It is a beautiful image, and really has a great feel to it. I agree though, the bottom of the dress needs work, the hard edges on the bottom could be softened, and it would look better if the dress conforms to the rock like CMYK46 suggested. Anyway, I love it, and just suggesting improvements, good luck author!

Warp the bottom of the dress so it conforms to the contour of the rock.

Nice atmospheric image, you just need to fix the column,the branches from the B.G. image are still visible in the top.

Woman's image needs a better chop/masking, the edges are too blurry, and her right arm, besides seeming transparent, it's too thin, lacking a part. Try to fix it, and you'll have a nice entry.

The 'halo' around her body looks like a sloppy masking. There are several other masking errors around the picture which can be seen around the background. Also her hips are party transparent, as well as the columns top.. and edges, which are pretty carelessly masked as well. Lose the transparency, clean the edges and dirty spots and this will make a nice image with a bit of handwork and colour corrections.

Sorry but I think it looks bad. The blending between the different photos look to blurry especial between the woman/column and the background. The difference between the ground and the background colour looks strange too and the colours don't seem to affect the woman which they should be doing.

i do agree, the mood is nice...but... there also seems to be a halo of smudge around her head, and lower parts of her body. along with the transparent parts of the column. You've still got some time to fix it

I would also lose the cracks. A bit sloppy work with the masking, especially with the inner part of your mirror/painting frame, should fix that. I would also lose that part of ground/root on the right side of the couch, looks weird. Also the water level below the pier is a bit higher than on the rest of the image. Maybe also add some contrast to the ocean image on the painting (and even straighten the horizon with the frame.. dunno about that thou).

Good colours and composition, just a little bit hasty work.

Nice surreal image love the water cascading from the picture frame to the chair have a couple of suggestion for improvements, with the amount of light coming threw the window The tires at the end of the pier need to have stronger highlights and the edges of the pier its self could do with being a little softer, the cracks in the water are not really adding anything to the image and may possible look better with out them….

I wonder how you managed to get a clean cut of the woman but the couch is pretty terrible. Fix the right side masking and darken/fringe/fix the legs too.

I don't think the dress should show through where her legs are (at least not the floor texture).

Nice colours and composition.

The foreground scarecrow would be much bigger, and with that sky I doubt there would be distinct shadows. On second look, are those supposed to be her footprints? They look more like blast craters.

Great idea and has a nice composition, keep an eye on your edges especially the young lady in the background the white outline is a little distracting, plus you may want to see if you can sharpen up the foreground scare crow as the D.O.F. is a bit out of sync sharp cross, blurry scare crow and then the most distant scare crow looks the most in focus........

Author there's a similar tutorial on the internet, if you used it as inspiration be sure to post it.

As for your image, it's a nice idea, but try to fade the shadows a bit as they distance themselves from the scarecrows, at the moment they don;t look too realistic. (Maybe try blurring it a bit more and lowering the opacity)

Good luck.

Nice scenery, but i'd remove the white cube underneath the model, and i also suggest making the frog and snail a little smaller. Other than that, it's a good image with a nice atmosphere. Good luck!
