cute capture. the angle of the shot of the elf with the book is great. the capture of the light is great. the clarity is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

Aww what a handsome little guy! I absolutely love that you've captured this from the angle at which he's looking. Definitely saying to you to listen to his story! The clarity is wonderful, you've centered the gnome well in the photo. I may have cropped a little off the top... great photo!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Aptly captured for the contest theme... Interesting digiart. Nice color combination. While you're at it why not render this hibiscus bloom more red to rake more votes from meticulous voters and avoid disqualification from KGB!
Excellent modification. Visually appealing. Thanks for sharing... Best of luck in the contest!

Oh boy. I thought that is red. I always have trouble with that. I seem not to see the differences in the shades. If I make it darker someone tells me its brown. Soon I light it up someone else tells me it is pink. OK, I look into the problem again, but I need a while to paint it again.

Well done! This really does look like an oil painting. The beautiful colors you chose are perfect. You did a wonderful job with the details. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas :)

I had to delete the painting and replace it with a photo.
I had it accidentally placed into the photo contest.

reply by shore1inspire. on 22-Dec-2016

sorry you had to as I saw it but did not remember this one but it is great to see as I saw a grey one and thought of buying it and putting it in different pictures. good luck.
always.

Love the choices in color, it's soft but strong at the same time. Just a perfect balance. Like it a lot and would love to see more.

What a beautiful petaled flower. It looks so soft and radiant with the background you gave it. I cannot believe that you painted this digitally. It is absolutely stunning and so real. What a fabulous entry. Lots of luck.
