Nice monster flowers :) It would be great to focus right on them

A good start. The dog is rather dark though considering that the shadows are so dark, suggesting bright light. You might consider a different source or brightening him up through shadow/highlight

The edges on the pot are rather warped and uneven. When you altered the shape did you use edit - free transform? It should give you more even results.

It worked out really nicely. The bases look a little too real though.

Some of the edges of the vases suggest that your cutout method may not be ideal. Consider either of these: http://fxb.Worth1000.com/tutorials/161612/extracting-an-image-using-the-extract-tool or http://fxb.Worth1000.com/tutorials/161614/cutting-things-out-using-quickmask

It would be great to see your sources to see what was actually done. That aside, great great image!

I like the desaturation, it adds a nice mood.

Great execution of the tutorial, though the vases don't seem right. THe front one has a white reflection, especially at the bottom that should be removed to match the lighting

It would be a good idea to make the part altered the central focus of the image, either by cropping or bringing them to the foreground.

Nice idea! perhaps toning down the blue would aid in showing what's beneath more clearly.

Great idea and looks very nice. THe bottom left one could be moved a bit and./or resized as it seems too big for the depth of the cabinet

There are some issues with the cutting out of the vases as the edges aren't quite smooth. Have you considered the extract tool http://fxb.Worth1000.com/tutorials/161612/extracting-an-image-using-the-extract-tool or for more precision and control http://fxb.Worth1000.com/tutorials/161614/cutting-things-out-using-quickmask

I'm stumped - how on Earth did you get the banana to stand up in that manner? :D

Beautiful composition, really well thought out and nicely placed and created. It's a shame that there's the one shadow creeping it's way into the photo though. It unfortunately seems to disrupt the otherwise perfect magazine type shoot

Unfortunately the lack of fine details and alteration of the nose make it difficult to tell what animal it is. I would suggest a better quality source of the dog and use colorization or tutorials on grease paint to find better ways to add the color

It would be better to add makeup to the existing lion face rather then adding a human face to it
