Love the ethereal quality about this one.

Oh, this reminds me of the psychedelic cartoons they had when I was a child - very cute.

Good job on the edges of the hole. Perhaps it would be helped by adding some stars to the background - and letting us see them through the hole.

I like this better than the sun version. Perhaps adding a bit more shading on the moon with dodge & burn would help integrate the face better. Very scary chop! :)

Love the blur on the outside image - adds so much to the realistic feeling within the fantasy.

Good job! If you like drawing/creating in Photoshop without photographic images, come join us in the multimedia section!

I thought Sauron before I even saw your comments - so you did good! It might have been even more "wow" if you'd had the beam shining from the iris, but it's a good chop nonetheless!

Very nice concept and execution. Masking is clean, blending is awesome, and the perspective is dead-on! Good job

Very neat - I can see this as a poster on a child's wall.

Very magical - looks like it came out of a story book.

Ha ha! A nebulous OOB. Not exactly realistic looking - the ship is way too large or the galaxy way too small? But I ilke the crack you made. Not sure I'd put beer in the pic, but you did a great job of making so many source images fit together.

I'm not sure what was done except to smudge Worth into the image? But I agree with your message! :)

Very clean masking, and an elegant image. It might be better if she were more transparent instead of solid, but the galaxy tutu is genius!

I like the concept, and you did a good job masking. I wish you'd linked the original. I'm thinking the front of the ball should be more in shadow or have more dramatic shading. But it's very clean - and I know a few golfers who would love this!

Over light and fluffy. :)

Good idea. The perspective is a bit off - the yolks should be more oval-shaped so they look as if they're lying on a plate.

Actually, quality counts. This is a very cute idea. Perhaps spending a little more time on source searches would help. Try www.sxc.hu or morguefile.com for free stock images - I'm sure there's lots of cheese there. :)

Very abstract - like an artpiece. I'd love to have seen the sources. As it is, it looks like a lot of circular smudging on an imag of leaves? I'm not sure what else was done.

DJ Moonman! It would have been good to match the resolution of sources - try adding noise, gaussian blur or pixelation (or a combination of these) to the crisp foreground image to match the astronaut.

Very very cool. I like how the glass reflects the tabletop and space background. Something bothers me about the brown surrounding the center of the sundae - it almost looks like fur. But aside from that, this is excellent.

Neat concept. The lighting variety is impressive. If the objects were that grounded, though, it would be nice to see a tabletop with space for the background... or have the dishes "floating" by skewing the rotation or perspective on each piece.

Kind of subtle, but I like how you blended around the bubbles - especially on the right side. The left could use a little more feathering or erasing with a large soft brush for a more gradual blend.

It is cool, but very abstract. It might be too subtle for me to catch?

Good job matching up perspectives. There's so much brightness going on in the center of the planet, it seems there would be more shine on the black pentagon closest to the center. One way to achieve this would be to add a layer on top and paint / smudge with white and play with the opacity of the layer until it looks like shine. See meowza's chocolate tutorial for a better explanation.
