@gosseyn- It's not unusual to have a similar idea as another member. The island on an animal's back has been done many times so it's understandable that others would think along those lines. You can see an example here: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/3b/87/0b/3b870b245b8431b38ca4bb9fabb7df8e.png and also if you google phrases like "turtle island" you'll find more.

It's only when an image is particularly unique that another similar entry might be considered a copy of that image. I entered an image of a clown with a puppet of himself (http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4a723bdc98f1e/Confronting-His-Alter-Ego.html) which has been done many times before yet one member commented as though I "borrowed" someone's idea which was just another members version of the popular theme. It's up to you but even this author encourages you to enter your idea as well.

Good to see you back!

Looks better to me!

I like the composition, it has good balance and rhythm. I do have some suggestions, the bird seems to be a bit closer to us (the observer) than the fox which works based on the line of sight of the fox to the bird, the problem for me is that the tree itself is further away creating an almost Escher like look. That can be fixed by extending the base of the tree so it's in front of the foreground grass making it appear closer to us and more in line with the bird and branch. You can do this with a little cloning work. I should also mention the branch with the bird is darker than the rest of the tree which is very obvious in the Hi Res and should match the tone of the rest of the tree. The cheese may be a bit too large to be held by a bird of that size IMHO. I know I may seem over critical but I like this image and think a few minor fixes would really make it even better.

I agree with WYSIWYG about the sharpness. The thought is conveyed in a most elegant way, nicely done!

The link for source 5 is to the image in your SBS. You have to show the link for the original image so the moderator can check the usage terms/license.
The correct link should be: https://pixabay.com/en/budha-monk-gold-buddhism-447947/

Best you correct that before the contest moderator sends a warning.

Just an oversight, easy to miss, glad to be of help.

Sorry to tell you but source 6, the Millennium Falcon is a 3D render and can't be used. You'll find other versions that are okay at this link: https://www.flickr.com/search/?advanced=1&license=1%2C2%2C9%2C10&text=millenium%20falcon

Just double check the license and be sure it's not an illustration or render.

Nicely done, I also like the animated SBS!

Congrats George!!
