Very nice lighting work!

Nice image. A little subtle but it looks really nice

Would love to see this with at least one worm crawling out instead of placed on

It would help to add some texture at least to the edges of the holes for more realism

Though I'm sure it's part of the original, the cut in the watermelon seems oddly unrealistic. There seems to be no depth attached to it, making the hamster seem more pasted on

Very realistic! A winner in my book

UNfortunately a little unrealistic as the man isn't looking in the right direction. Also the plane seems as if it will last far away from where the man is

I like the changes you have made. They look very real in including the cloning in the background

Nice crisp idea but the texture seems rather unrealistic. Perhaps a smaller resolution would help on it.

It's s shame that the lighting doesn't correspond with the rest of the image. You might benefit from a brilliant tutorial on this site on lighting a giant elephant. It's a great insight into how to add dramatic lighting into your images

It took me a moment to understand where the chop occurred. It's a benefit to make you alterations front and central and more evident

Nice idea. I'm not sure the repetition works, but there are some small differences that make each relatively unique. Perhaps focusing on one?

I like the inversion of the image. It works really well and the additions are a nice idea

Nice idea, I wonder if the background elements could be made smaller so as to bring more focus into the rocket. Just a thought

Nice idea! A nitpick critique, but a crop could really help bring the subject into even greater focus and show what you have done so well so much more clearly and centrally

THe frontal snow would be a little more convincing with a slight gaussian blur (filter-blur-gaussian blur)

It could benefit with more dramatic creepy lighting. Try image-adjustment-curves which can boost shadows and highlts

A wonderful collage of birdhouses. As a suggestion, it could be beneficial to focus on one aspect and make it better and in central focus instead of adding multiple elements that each require lighting, and other alterations to fit in, a much more difficult task

A simple composition, but as a critique, the owl should be much bigger then the dove
