my submision for magazine cover did pretty badly.. but i still love that piece of work i created so much that i needed to bring it to your attention one more time and see if i can get some positive remarks this time...
here it goes:
As discussed in this thread, DPC is more about photography and less about "artsy things you can do in Photoshop". Your picture looks very "digital art" to me, and just doesn't maintain photographic integrity in my humble opinion.
Like others have said, if it had been a digital art contest it would have done well. No doubt, it is very creative and well done. It just doesn't suit the taste of the majority of DPCers.
