Critique Club Review:
Congratulations on your ribbon, and a well deserved first place. It definetly looks like something straight out of a Larson book.
The wicker basket is a tiny bit distracting, but nothing major. It is really hard to critique this picture, because it is much closer to a graphic than a picture. However, that is not meant as a negative. That this picture was edited to this level without a bunch of post processing artifacts, speaks of a high level of artistic skill.
Congratulations on a well deserved first place. |

| Beautiful job of recreating the original. You should be proud of this. You almost perfectly recreated the look and feel of the original. Yours looks like the original, with with an added depth, almost 3D. |

| I didn't shoot anything that would lend itself to liquidfy but damn I wish I had thought about that earlier. That was the perfect technique to use in this challenge. Even if you didn't use it I bet this would have done pretty well in it's own right. Congrats on the ribbon! |

| Really dig the work with what I assume was the liquify tool, you really got the "look" of farside characters on the people, nice PP work. Gave it a 9, think this is one of the best I have seen so far. |
