Reminds me of this image: [thumb]78509[/thumb]. Nicely done, although her left arm is oddly stiff, especially considering she's underwater. Would also have liked to see some bubbles from her nose or mouth to complete the illusion.

Beautiful image. Love the swimming in air concept, and the gorgeous beams. Not quite underwater, not quite mid-air. Nice.

Hi, I wanna be a model

The look on the face of the middle guy is priceless. Great idea, although I wish the lighting would have been made to more closely match the environment he's in.

Overall, this image is very captivating. The lighting and the colors all work very well and create the illusion of the creature actually being in that place. But I have some issues with the composition. The main tree looks like it is blocking the scene rather than being a part of it. And the creature is also a bit odd. I think the fact that we can still make out her legs is a bit creepy, as it puts her, um, special area right in the center of the creature's chest. I think merging her at or just above the bellybutton would have eliminated this issue for me. But hey, it's your creature :-)

VERY nicely done. Love the background tones, and the image on it adds to the overall appeal of this capture. Could also have worked in the dof challenge :-)

Oh, classic. This is a professional job. Lighting direction has been carefully maintained, as has the tonal changes throughout the image. Front page.

Very cool shot. Love the explosive hatching. Would have liked a bit more of the hatchling to be visible...

Great elements in this image, each very nicely done. Even the unicorn is killer. But the blending of the elements isn't quite there for me.
