I like your very clever "fire flies" theme, the dying wick and the cleanup.

This is just one of the best, Mikey! But Showcase is right re: accuracy. However, due to the whimsical nature of this image, I'm voting for it w/out particular care to accuracy.

cool critters mikey.
Showcase Showcase
this is very close to being a decent image. Either the "bug" on the right is some sort of contortionist, or you totally blew the perspective with the eyes/legs/body and the wings...
Showcase Showcase
its as if the wings are coming from the back and belly of that one.
Showcase Showcase
and you missed removing the bright candle spots on the pot rim in the back. Details make the difference from an average chop to a winning chop. Never forget this kids ;)
mikey mikey
Alright show" just for the sake of perfection I'll fix it! Peace ~
Showcase Showcase
Mikey, Mikey, Mikey...accurate perspective, reflections and lighting is not perfection, its fundamentals...the basics if you will.
mikey mikey
I fixed it" I know what perspective is" I'm an award winning artist, but this took a long time and its the idea as well as excecution" I do go for perfection by the way" ~ that's just the way I am" ~ peace ~
Heinlein Heinlein
Mikey, I agree with you. It is the idea as well as execution. Usually, when I work on a chop,the idea comes first, then the execution. To achieve perfection it could take days, even weeks.To participate in a contest, you need to be fast.
Showcase Showcase
Heilein, dont be ridiculous. This is NOT ideacontest.com. Are we here to better our thinking or our photo manipulation skills?
mikey mikey
Show" you have a case here" lol! ~ this is not worthless 1000 either" There,s nothing wrong with an honest critique" as long as its for the right motives" for the benefit of the artists skills" idea is as important too"
Heinlein Heinlein
Showcase, do not read me wrong. Achieving maxium Photoshop skills is very important, and honestly I have learned a few things from you, all I am saying is that creating a theme or idea helps with the execution.
mikey mikey
You can vote now Showcase! LOL!
cowboy399 cowboy399
He almost never does. It's a lot funner for him to antagonize people in the comments area. The more popular the image, the nastier the comments. That's the way he operates.
Showcase Showcase
Its also funny how stupidier cowboy's comments get, the more I comment. NONE of my comments were nasty and 2 people made the changes I suggested and their images are better for it. Go suck your thumb somewhere else.
cowboy399 cowboy399
The only person making stupid comments is you, nutcase. You are a very rude and obnoxious person. It's a wonder why the mods haven't banned you by now because you certainly deserve it.
mikey mikey
Peace on Earth" goodwill towards people" ~ thanks for the votes and suggestions guy's, do the best you can do" then redo till it Rocks!
Showcase Showcase
Whats stupid, Cowboy0, is people just running around voting with gratuitous praise for "pals" and images with some missed change or addition. Ask Mikey. his image is better because I pointed out a couple things he should look at.
Showcase Showcase
Maybe you should double up on your midol, cowboy0. That might help with your sensitivity.
Showcase Showcase
Mikey, you did good. Im proud of you.
cowboy399 cowboy399
My sensitivity? Is this a case of projection? Nutcase, your reputation precedes you.
Showcase Showcase
oh get a grip Cowboy0. I made some comments on how people can better their image. sheesh. You're like my archenemy or something.
Showcase Showcase
Anyway, Mikey should be happy. A comment from me means a vote from bluefist. We're a team like that. Lets hear it for Bluefist. HIP HIP HOORAY!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!
Feral Hamster Feral Hamster
show, as a friend, let me just say that you don't seem to understand that it's not about the suggestions, but how you present them. people would take the advice more seriously if it wasn't always so abrasively confrontational.
Showcase Showcase
ok, Friend Feral, I get it...did you miss the part where I said this was "close to being a decent image"? you call that abrasively confrontational? I guess it would be better if I voted at the same time...is that what you're saying??
Feral Hamster Feral Hamster
no, i did indeed catch that...as well as where you said the fly is either a contortionist or the artist "blew" part of his image.
Showcase Showcase
are you kidding me? "blew the perspective" is abrasively confrontational? No one felt confrontational until Cowboy0 came in shouting names and blubbering about some great offense....and that was AFTER mikey fixed the things I pointed out. wtf.
cowboy399 cowboy399
Notice how in spite of all the things Mikey did to change his image, Nutcase (as of this posting ) still didn't vote for it. The intent isn't to help anyone, he simply enjoys rattling chains.
Showcase Showcase
Notice how, in spite of cowboy0's attempt to continue being confrontational and abrasive, my smile continues to be just as bright.
mikey mikey
I knew it was'nt perfect" I just wanted to start a critique session" it went beyond my wildest dreams! lol!
ScionShade ScionShade
It's a compliment when someone gives a serious critique. Someone who cares enought o give a critique, doesn't waste time giving them to people who aren't trying to make quality chops.
mikey mikey
Scion speaks words of wisdom"
Feral Hamster Feral Hamster
you mean there are only a handful of select people trying to make quality chops?
mikey mikey
I never get any comments! ~ lol!
Showcase Showcase
Mikey, its true, I am here to make your dreams come true (Unlike Cowboy0). I will mark "I dream of bucket loads of comments" off your list.
Showcase Showcase
and Feral, as a friend, I dont think Scion said "giving them to the overabundance of people who are'nt trying" thus implying only a "handful" are. You are being abrasive and confrontational and I will not stand for it!
cowboy399 cowboy399
Yes, it's every artist's dream to have a pile of manure dumped on their entry by the infamous Nutcase. Still no vote I see, and I doubt there will be one either.
Feral Hamster Feral Hamster
well of course you won't stand for it! doesn't everyone sit in a chair while at their computer? now stop speaking for scion! oh wait i forgot, scion is one of your aliases!!! ;D
Showcase Showcase
Cowboy0, go pick on someone else. You're gonna end up blowing it for mikey since Im now considering NOT voting for it just to spite you!
cowboy399 cowboy399
Yeah right. Like you were really going to vote for him in the first place.
