Congrats!

Congratulations on first place and welcome to the site.

Congrats Angel, very pretty

Super fun texturing

Wonderful photo

This is a very niece piece however there are some problems. As CMYK46 mentioned you do have to remove the link for your DA image and place your photo in an SBS stating that it is your own in order to remain anonymous.

More importantly the source used for the tea kettle is not acceptable. The image comes from an on line catalog: http://www.parousiasi.gr/?product=morphy-richards-%CF%84%CF%83%CE%B1%CE%B3%CE%B9%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B1-%CE%BC%CE%B5-%CF%83%CF%86-46501 and it is an altered image which is also under copyright-© 2013 Παρουσίαση. All Rights Reserved.

You will have to use an acceptable source and make the other corrections as stated. It is important that you read the Beginners Guide available here: http://www.pxleyes.com/courses/guide/ You can also find the original forum post about sources here: http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5644 It's important to learn the rules to avoid problems like these. All the information you need can be found in the links I've provided.

I expect the Contest Moderator will be sending you a warning and temporarily remove your entry until it is corrected. As I mentioned this is a very nice image and I hope you will be able to make the corrections and republish. If you need assistance you can send me a PM (Private Message) and I'll answer any questions you have.

You should have put your photo in a Step-by-step guide. (SBS). Entries are supposed to be anonymous, and the link to your photo on DA identifies you.

Beautiful

Desaturating the background is very well done, but unfortunately not allowed in these contests unless specifically stated.
