Congrats on the win!

I like the autumn touch you created with yours. Curious as to why you thought the ground area on the right was two different things - yours being a fur and grass? The consistency appears to be the same so I assumed it was a large fur such as a bear or buffalo. It's always fun interpreting, isn't it?

I do like your variation of the background on the left, however, the barrel looks weird, for lack of a better word at the moment. (I think you dif the painting of the top and rim in the wrong mode)

Kind of some strange color choices here - the wooden barrel look purple and the trees look a little too red.

You did some good detail work on her dress and the blanket; but, the overall reddish-yellow tint to the image kind of ruins the the overall look. (Did you use a warming filter over the whole image set at a very high density?)

Great colors here! The faces have been smoothed out almost too well here to the point of looking more like plastic dolls than people to me. Especially Groucho - maybe it's the expression on his face that contributes to this look. Also, the palm of his hand should have more pink, I think.

Congrats on the win! It's an awesome entry!!!

I decided it was not her arm since it had linen marks just like the rest of her veil. Also, if she let down her right arm, the sleeve would be at waist level. Therefore, if she did the the same with her left arm, no skin would be showing. Lastly, she is posing rather seductively with her shoulders arched back and her right hand reaching back - it is normal to assume that for balance, her left hand would be reaching back as well.

I like the softer tones that you used but there is an overall greenish/yellow tint to the image. There are also some places in the left wall where your coloring needs to be more exact.

I like this a lot! I love the right side background and yours is probably the best of all in that regard. It's probably just me, but I think the colors of the top of the dress are just a little too oversaturated. Great work!

Very nice work! Very nice color palette on the dress. Some strange colors in the background, though. (didn't downdgrade for that) Nit pick: Face could use a little more blush color and her eyes were hazel, not green.

I think you chose great colors for the dress and veil, they are just a little too oversaturated. With the light coming from the back, the fron of the wall on the left should be fairly dark instead of bright as you are showing it. Nice detail work on the back wall.

This is beautiful work! I love the color palette and you did a good job with the lighting. Great work also with the walls! My nit pick is that her eyes were hazel, not green (even brown would be better) and her skin could use a little more color. Should contend for the win, in my opinion.

The extra work you put in on the walls realls shows - nice! With the bright red in the top, I think you could have used some brighter colors in the striping to balance out the dress better, in my opinion. The facial skin is pretty bland and there needs to be more blending around the hairline.

Simply terrific! Beautiful colors! My only nitpick is that it looks more like it is painted than it is a photograph. I think this is a winner here!

You did a good job on the upper part of the dress; however, I think you would have been better off to have corrected your mistakes in the scarf. Did you intend on leaving the background undone? That's too bad because the lighting was a big part of the piece. Another suggestion would be to add some color to her face in the form of blush on her cheeks and lipstick.

Wow! Thanks, everyone for the nice comments! It was a great competition.

Good work but the overall look is oversaturated. I think it also would have helped to add some blush to their skin and different colors to the scarf on the left.

Nice work! If you are like me, you had trouble with all that bland food in the foreground!

Some bold color choices! Not sure about the red sandwich on the right and the one on the left that is wrapped. I liked that you used color variation in the grasses. Nice work.

I like your choice of colors and the girls are beautiful. The grasses could uses some variety with some different shades of greens, browns, yellows, etc.

Congrats on the win!

I think this could have turned out quite good if you would have turned down the saturation levels.

Very nice work. Love the attention you paid to the details.

Nice work!
