I like this, but think it needs to be a bit sharper.

It's very obvious where you cloned out the watertower. You didn't clone the railroad ties back in, what is cloned is very blurry.

I think this would have been a better entry had you stayed away from the filter.

You have some really blunt edges in your sky, I'm not sure how that happened as you didn't clone anything out of that area (to the right of the man). You need to work on your blending on the left side of him as well. The perspective on the guy is a bit off as well. You need to either have his feet propped on something, or bend him over further so he is fully resting his legs on the top of the train.

Nice job getting rid of the watertower.

Be very careful when combining images. It is important to use the same resolution photos to give your image a realistic appearance.

The Welcome to Dubai sign is a bit over saturated. Your grass is extremely blurry and much too smooth looking for the distance it is from our eyes. Where you've ended the grass next to the railroad ties is very obvious and too blunt. Using your smudge tool, bring up some of the edges of the grass onto the ties making them appear as if they are sitting in the grass. Your flowers are also too blunt. Check out the many tutorials on masking. You also left the ground from the themepost under the watertower. I would have made that grass as well and then added shadow, or left more of the original ground blending it into your new ground.

Hope this is helpful.

The overall image is a bit over saturated for me. Also there is some blurriness next to the railroad ties that is distracting.

I would have preferred this without the filters. Looks to obvious as an altered photo to me.

I actually think this looks pretty decent. Shadows will add some depth as well.

You can still see a white halo around your spraypainter. He is also not aiming at the side of the train, but under it.

The snowflakes throw me off on this image... I've never seen real snowflakes like that.

The young man in the image appears to be floating. Adding some shadow to his feet would have grounded him and see the shadow in front of the watertower? Your young man should be casting as shadow as well.

I think the motion blur is fine... what throws me off is the reflection in the mirror. The perspective is off there. First, the color is totally different and secondly, how did the driver of the car get into that reflection if he isn't on the side of the train, which is where I'm assuming your reflection is orginating from.

Graffiti seems to be popular in this contest, guess the railcar begs for it. I like that you added the graffiti to the watertower as well. I think too, you should have desaturated your graffiti just a tad bit.

Love the concept... the source image of the car appears to be at a much lower resolution. Try keeping your resolutions the same to get a seamless image.

Nice job!

I'm not sure what you were attempting to do with the image. If it were a motion blur you were going for, it falls short. To do this, you would want to select the entire railcar and either blur that or blur the background to show motion. In regards to the gauges you've added... your masking is a little jagged and I'm not sure what the other additions are, but they are blurry.

Welcome to Worth!

Your GI's look cut and pasted. Need to continue to work with your masking efforts.

Welcome to Worth.

The image is really too small. I can't tell how the rings are attached. Try for larger source images so we can see your work.

I like this... though it had to hurt when they put the stones in her eyeball!

The bag looks as if it is just stuck on her belly instead of attached... as if it may fall off at any time.

They gotta be a real pain to change! lol

The zippers look as if they are laying on top of her hair. I think unzipping a few would have helped with this effect.

Image is way to small. I realize this is your first upload. In the future, try for a larger source file so we can see your work. Small images tend to score very low.

I'm not sure what you did here... or rather what you were trying to accomplish. Did you use filters? The entire image has a unrealistic look to it.

That top has got to be hard to change! I like this! The attached straps look very real.
