oh, brother - your work precedes you now. A very signature style, excellent transposition, colors are not only beautiful - but very original as well. Not the "standard" photoshopping backgrounds or colors. Excellent entry, I'm sure you'll win this contest too in your total global PST domination!! Well done, brother.

wow very good, intresting artwork

(56 days ago)

I can`t see the PST source at the final result. SBS is not a place to show that you have used the PST source...... Please show me at the final result where is the PST source...... Great manipulation, but ............... hummmmmm
(56 days ago)

Well... sincerely, Claudiolky is right i think... really good job, but where is the source? confusing...
(56 days ago)

Than my score was: 50% ---------------------> 100% for the magnific manipulation(really a masterpiece)

and 0% - no PST source showed at the final result

OK now i do have to agree this is an amizing piece of work. Real realy good, but indeed if i take a look ( without voting, i know who made this ) at your other works they all look pretty much the same. But the result is realy good. Also in my eyes no one should mention how much they vote in a comment.
(55 days ago)

i can't believe im saying this, but i do have to agree on trying to find the source on this one.. i can usually always eye it out - but I can't see anything at all in the final result.
(55 days ago)

Your work speaks for itself, but I gotta agree with the others, most confusing SBS, and source is taken light years away. Tough to give score. Are you the son of Dali?
(55 days ago)

thanks for all.., give me a moment , and i will to proof it, if i use only one source in my " INSECT "
(55 days ago)

can't see the nose, but it is beautiful
(55 days ago)

there is a lot of entries here on PST wich ones is even more outstand from source , but they still there and they even win at times. There is still no rules and moderation against it. I dont think that there is any authors fault - they do waht they do, according to descripted statements. "photoshop this image" doesnt show any clues what you can and what you cannot do.
(55 days ago)

I can't find anything negative for this picture. Absolutely superb work. The idea is to PS the picture and looking at the stepguide you more than did that. Who cares if you can't see the original picture anymore, you obviously used it. Great work!
(55 days ago)

I do agree that the image itself is phenominal, but very hard to see the original source pic. Work like this is difficult to grade because it is so beautiful, yet hard to see source, and at the same time it's unimaginable how much thought goes into this. I will say one thing, you are an excellent artist, creator, and Photoshop chopper.
(55 days ago)

This is a great piece, if a person can create something that fantastic I think that person could also reflect more of the source if he or she wanted. Should a very talented artist be given an exception to guidelines, it has nothing to do with skill. I'm going to have a tough time with that slider
(55 days ago)

thanks for you coment friends n everybody, the truth is i don't care about win or not win this contest, i only like to share my work and ps is my hobby, thats all
(55 days ago)

i agreed with milkins and ghost, this is superb works, and the author's sbs is superb too, he show us all the idea of photoshop and what photoshop can do (adobe should thanks him), and personally i think maybe he is the best artist in this contest till today, so watch out up level, here come your new boss!!!!
(55 days ago)

Ur really a awesome Artist.....There's lot of things like me guys 've to learn form u..High vote from me.
(55 days ago)

brilliant! =]
(55 days ago)

wonderful work! I agree with the others, a stronger use of the source image would have been nice.Still it's incredibly good.
(54 days ago)

minimum of PST source at the final result = minimum SCORE..... Zero of PST source at the final result = SCORE 0

What you do is amazing, but the complaints are legitimate. I still have to give you high points for artistry and craftsmanship, but mediated by the fact there is no recognizable part of the source pic left.
(54 days ago)

you can kind of see the texture at least of the dogs nose to the left. It's really beautiful and the colors are wonderful!!
(53 days ago)

Very organic.Cool image.
(53 days ago)

Your "nose" is certainly the "scenter" of attention. Your work (and sbs) is head & shoulders above most. I have to agree with some of my compadres...don't "overlook the nose" source. Your skill is extraordinary.

"This is a great piece, if a person can create something that fantastic I think that person could also reflect more of the source if he or she wanted."
This is a quote from TSettles as taken from above, it says it all, and I agree 100%.
We can all pretend we don't care about winning, but deep down inside WE ALL DO. (JMHO)

Fantastic imagination and great technique you have. Even though the source isnt obvious, i believe you that your not interested in the money ....................................... Im the same, i couldnt give a stuff about the prizes or money......................positive feedback and recieving appreciation of great work has no price.
(53 days ago)

I have to confess to being completely irritated by the comments about the source. Your step guide shows us exactly how you have used the source image - and you have created a masterpiece with it. This is stunning, original and so skilled. Well done.
(51 days ago)

you find your style, you work is unique, your techniques and manipulation of photoshop incredible, Congrats
