I really like this one and so far, it would be my pick to win. The restoration is done well, the masking looks good. It is a touch blurry, but so far the most creative. The frame and flower behind it sets it apart and makes it stand out.

Blending needs some additional work as well as the perspective.

Very nicely done. I like that you fixed her sleeve to match her other one. My only nit pick is his hat... a little highlight would give it some depth.

Looks very cut and paste. Try masking out what you don't want in the image, gives it a more natural look.

Would have liked to have seen a bit more retouch on her hair and dress.

Decent restoration. His skintone is a bit too red for me, like maybe his collar is to tight. Her dress front looks much better, but the arms of the dress don't match. Additionally, some highlights on his hat would add some depth.

Need to work a bit on your masking as well as colorizing. I think a deeper red would look better here. Additionally, I would have worked a bit on restore the dress a bit so the greens match.

Not sure the title of your picture had to be so crude to get your point across.

lol, this is good. I like the lookout. Overall a looks like a fun picture.

Really need to work on your masking. Also, need to add some shadow on the little girl and the bottle of poison like there is from the cup. I marked you low due to the masking issues as this is an advanced contest where I wouldn't have marked you quite so low on a beginners.

Maybe some blood running out of her eyeball where the needle goes in and more tears. I'd think this would really make you cry!

Need to work a bit on your masking and then add some shadow to add some depth.

Geesh, you'd think he'd wake up from the smell of the smoke! lol

The picture needs to conform to the foot more to make it look realistic.

Need to add some color adjustment layers to your daughter. She doesn't blend in well with the colors that are in the image. I also think having a crisper image of her would have helped.

I think the little guy should be crisper due to how close he is. Also, the teeth he is near and the one is is drilling on appear to have had noise added to them which doesn't fit with the rest of the image. Not sure if this was something you added or it's from the source.

I judged this on the chop itself instead of whether or not it is on theme. As far as the theme goes, I'm not sure how this shows the little one getting the revenge.

Ouch, that's gonna hurt!

Masking needs some attention. Additionally, you need to add some shadow to the little guys on the wall behind them as well as match your lighting. The little one on the left should have light directly on him like the one to the right. The one on the right that is holding the keys, doesn't really look as if he is holding them.

Oh, that's gonna hurt!

As far as the chop goes, this is really good. My only concern is that it isn't on theme... looks like the big guy is the one picking on the little guy and I think the theme is for the little ones to be getting their revenge.

~laughing~ Oh, you are so bad! My only nit-pick is to add some yellow color to the urine.

Oh boy, he won't be a happy camper! Nicely done entry. I personally feel this should do well, but... seems my taste are different than many.

I like the reflections here, but I think some shadow added at where the girl and the apple touch the table would have enhanced your image. Also, try matching your source images in resolution, if you can't, add some noise to help them all blend together.

Great idea, but your little guy is a bit blurry.
