I can not see the PST source at the final result. SBS is not a place to show that you have used the PST source....
(10 days ago)

tianaa [lvl 2] [vp 0] [ 1]:

almighty teacher, weren't you moving and don't have time for PST??? so why bother to criticise when parts of the source are visible???? maybe in other entryes (not necessarily in this contest) i agree that the soruce isn't visbile.......but here you defenetly can see it

thanks all for the comments... I'm sorry Claudiolky and Emma81 but this is my style, I use sources in different ways, I'm bored to cut images and blend them together... This is what I do, destroy source images )

TSettles [lvl 15] [vp 1000] [ 80]:

fantastic piece of artwork, with your skills I bet you could come up with a solution for the source issue next time. This is a fantastic entry

robvdn [lvl 5] [vp 792] [ 41]:

Awesome image but really agree with Claudiolky and Emma81. Don't get me wrong: I'll never be able to do this stuff and it makes me drool but I like to see some source in these contests. I just can't vote for these kind of entries :s

Arlo [lvl 7] [vp 1000] [ 62]:

Its interesting and I like it, but I would like it much more if the image were better composed in the frame. Since the background in plain, it would have been very easy to avoid cutting off the toes of the feet which, in my opinion, weakens an otherwise nice entry.

atg2 [lvl 2] [vp 0] [ 0]:

really good idea
(11 days ago)

Amaena [lvl 6] [vp 0] [ 10]:

very nice idea.. some bars are missing at the upper hand, and at the to others u have to many bars..now the hands are behind the cage instead of in the cage..but other than that u did a nice job!

All source and PS.

milkins [lvl 7] [vp 1000] [ 23]:

Veery cool, rare case when underwater looks exactly like underwater )) One tip, mabe usefull - use lens blur instead of gaussian to get some buke-like unfocused area, i think it would look more natural. Uhm... And fishes could have their own shadow trails.
