Congrats Bob! Really, really nice job on this. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Sorry, but it looks more like a torn piece of paper.

The biggest problem here is that the mashed potato field is flat and has no dimension to it. The one car looks like it's coming out of the plane but the other two appear right next to it on the potato field. Not sure what idea you are trying to get across.

The metal pieces don't look like they are fitting on to the potato - just kind of floating. It looks like you have used a drop shadow but it's in the wrong places. I see it as a black outline to the upper left of the arm. You can use a drop shadow but it should only show on the parts that connect with the potato and the rest can be erased. The whole image needs a shadow on the sidewalk.

Sorry, but I really don't see the potato here. It just looks like brown leather.

Good idea and well executed. Nice job blending the potato into the neck.

You had a good thing going on the right side but I'm not real fond of all the little tats on the left side. Just doesn't come together for me.

I think this one might have been a little more effective if done in all b&w or all color. But, nice work.

Good colors on this and I like the way you took the tattoo under the lace.

You really could have used some "color" in this and the image is too bright.

You put a really nice effort into this and there's great detail work on the maps (although I don't think they would be that detailed in a real photo). But, the overall image is way too dark in my opinion.

Nice work but I'm not too fond of the background colors, especially the doors.

This is really nice! The only thing I think that would have improved it a lot would be to increase the saturation in her skin and add more color to her cheeks.

I'm thinking that the blue hat looks a little out of place - would have been better as brown. Try increasing the saturation levels in the colors as this has an overall washed out look to it, especially her face.

You get extra points for the detail work in the maps. However, the overall image is way too saturated and the color of her uniform almost makes me cringe. :)

The only comment I have is that you brought the saturation level up on the railing almost to the point of where they are the dominant focal point. I'm not sure I understand the yellow in her left sleeve at the elbow.

I love the look of this and the rich colors. You spent an amazing amount of time doing the maps; however, I don't think all that detail would be visible in a real photo. But I didn't downgrade you for that. Very nicely done.
