Photoshop contest - wooden chair

My second attempt at entering contests. Space ship was freeware on IStock. Legs are a picture of my daughter. Used blur, and noise with some dodge and burn. This is the video tutorial I learned on this site for this contest. I tried to apply what I learned

Sorry, no chair source on this entry

I think they did use the source, just not the chair, the grass part was from the source... I think

the use of source is too subtle if used at all... i'm not sure - it's a pretty image though... maybe you can do something with the chair and add on to what you have now.
