very good, but the tiger needs more integration with the light sources

not sure, but :

1- i think the light source for the scene is coming from some place behind the tiger, but for the tiger itself the light is coming from above, so you need to cancel this differnce in lights direction, you can change some tunes on the tiger to make that.

2- the dof (depth of field) for the tiger is not the same with dof of the ground beneath it, try to add a little blur to the tiger to cancel this differnce

but the image is good as it is now anyway

i'll agree with you on the tiger, not to make excuses but the tiger is over like a 1000 pixels and when you crop it out over and over it can get very anoying so by the time i saved the cropped version i was very lazy, but thanks for the honesty.

Thanks for the word, I forgot "crop"
So..you could have used Pen Tool and crop the tiger perfectly
If you wanted a prefect artwork.
Still, it's a good piece of design and you have a good chance to win sth.
You're welcome for the honesty, I usually am straight at commenting

actually i prefer to use the lasso tool in gimp, it is easier in my opinion, i use the pen tool on smoother and rounder stuff.

If you donate me points, I promise to return you double of whatever you donate me (but it must be under 200 points) on March 14th. I need to pay someone 200 points for a contest they won which I was judging by the end of today, (3/11/2011) and right now my PayPal has been frozen. Any points you could lend me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
