EXCELENT
(1 year and 100 days ago)

Well done and a great step by step

(1 year and 100 days ago)

Eye popping chop!

(1 year and 100 days ago)

thanks dbostwick - madamemonty & hyperorbit - Im absolutly exhausted now - need to put my feet up

(1 year and 100 days ago)

I really appreciated the explanations that you put in your s-b-s, I forgot to say that before.

(1 year and 100 days ago)

Great piece, well done.
(1 year and 100 days ago)

Very nice but I think the reflection of the curtains on the table is wrong. If you look at the window reflection the curtains would be at that angle. Hope that makes sence?
(1 year and 100 days ago)

only one word to express your work: FANTASTIC!!!!!
(1 year and 100 days ago)

Really really good!
(1 year and 100 days ago)

Now, this is an amazing job and not only I'm giving it high marks because of a fine and thorough work, but because you put spring outside the window, an Orchid in the pot (great work on that orchid, great!) and a red curtain on the window. My dream window!

(1 year and 100 days ago)

great job!!! THAT is photoshopping !!
(1 year and 100 days ago)

A jaw-droppin' photoshoppin' work of art!

Jewel Entry.
(1 year and 100 days ago)

great job

(1 year and 100 days ago)

Wow! One of the most impressive ones here. One little improvement needed: the perspective on the wallpaper doesn't match that of the window. Even so, this is a fantastic piece!
(1 year and 100 days ago)

very talented!!!
(1 year and 100 days ago)

good
(1 year and 99 days ago)

Well.One word.Winner.
(1 year and 99 days ago)

I love the luminary mood and clear color. Very nice!
(1 year and 98 days ago)

Nice finally to seem some very nice Photoshop work! Can see you have done a lot to make this image. That's always nice. I do think some textures would do you well. I'm not happy with the wood for the table. It looks photoshopped and the plants and the vase could use some as well. But it's very well done. Love the flowers... Keep it up.
(1 year and 98 days ago)

Oh, and by the way: Why doesn't the window and the flowers reflect? And I think the bottom of the vase would not be lit the same way as the rest of the vase...
(1 year and 98 days ago)

nothing to say all is perfect well done winner
(1 year and 97 days ago)

See you changed the reflections. Very nice. The window reflection isn't right though. It should have the same angle as the real windows - you shouldn't mirror them horizontaly rather move them down... I'm still not that happy with the wood pattern, but if you could fix it I would vote even higher. Oh, btw: I loooove your reflections. Very nice detail that they reflect better in the shadows! Very nice indeed!! Keep up the good work. See you at top 3 (make that top 1...)
(1 year and 96 days ago)

well done.
(1 year and 95 days ago)

Terrific!! I have no words. Sure the winner
(1 year and 94 days ago)

Thanks for making something so out-in-front outstanding that i can vote as high as i want without losing my Vote Power! Sometimes saying how long it took is ill-advised, but i don't know who could have made this in three times that time!
(1 year and 93 days ago)

This is just unbelievable good!! At first I thought I had to say "off theme", but as I saw your sbs, I reliazed that this piece of art, really is a piece of art. Amazingly well done. A winner in my eyes. Keep up the gooood work...
(1 year and 99 days ago)

Thanks lundmikkel, takes a long time to paint with photoshop, and you can play with filters and transparancy modes and filters forever, but at some point you got to go with what you got. took a while to do the SBS. Just wanted to make sure everyone was sure that it was done totally in PS.
(1 year and 99 days ago)

Nicely drawn, and wonderful vibrant color.
(1 year and 98 days ago)

Is just beautiful, that's all I can say. Really suprised that you didn't get more comments yet. So here is one more along with a very high vote

Keep up the good work...
(1 year and 98 days ago)

Excellent work, top three for sure.
(1 year and 98 days ago)

Lundmikkel, I guess it's a case of " no like, no comment"
(1 year and 98 days ago)

Oh my god.not just the execution is great but the idea is very winged too.100%I mean wheres the mistake?
(1 year and 98 days ago)

this is an amazing piece; I know how hard it is to draw a hand, and make it look right, and you did it! good job!
(1 year and 98 days ago)

nice job well done
(1 year and 97 days ago)

absolute greatness! The SBS is key to the "creation" of this masterful conception of the macrocosmic genesis within the greatest cipher known to the anthropological principles of the pursual of photoshop enormity!
(1 year and 96 days ago)

beautiful work, congrats!
(1 year and 96 days ago)

i wish if i could see the other hand (the one that was busy making this hand)...poor right hand..he makes the efforts and left hand enjoys the limelight....exceptionally good.
(1 year and 96 days ago)

WOW, i really like how you put this together, good job
(1 year and 95 days ago)

i like how you've done the hand. it looks pretty real!
(1 year and 95 days ago)

very nice
(1 year and 95 days ago)

CRAY-ZEE great entry! Must vot now, the suspense is almost killing me!

Congrats!

Congratulations!!!
(1 year and 93 days ago)

Tried to pull this entry up with my 85%, but a 2nd place is very well too, Vicspa. Keep up your amazing pieces of work!
(1 year and 93 days ago)

Must say, your Bubble face was my personal favorite in this contest but I'm glad to see one of your works ended up as a TOP3 entry! Congrats!

Very well done, like the way this is done, must be lots of work.
(1 year and 96 days ago)

Well done... You are a true artist...
(1 year and 96 days ago)

Yes hilleke, I was looking through the Sept. issue of InStyle magazine, page 261, a nice picture of catherine Zeta-jones. used her as reference. sometimes I draw from my head, but it's always better to have reference.
(1 year and 96 days ago)

I had put my comment before voting... After seeing who made it, I changed my comment...

(1 year and 96 days ago)

unique work...there's no place like foam
(1 year and 96 days ago)

Be it ever so humble there's no place like foam.

Thanks hilleke, I should've mentioned the use of ref material. luckily I didn't have to paint a good sharp image, i knew the bubbles would hold it together.
(1 year and 96 days ago)

Amazing work!
