Liking that you're trying new shit (Like me, lol) with the Lens Blur effect to give it depth, but it looks like you used it a little too much on the right side. You could have touched up the stock to make it seem like it has a realistic lighting, cause on his face, it looks like he has a heavy yellow light casted on him with the circular Lighten gradient, and on his shoulder, you see completely blue which should look more green.

Second Vote: Fifth Entry
I like the contrast with the red from the monochromatic touch, but like Dan's tag, you could have touched some parts of the stock to accentuate some of Snake's facial features with lighting effects because you have those high white things behind him and his face has no shade lighter than a mid gray tone. So it's more about keeping up with consistency.

Third Vote: Ninth Entry
Your smudging is still hot, but same for the touching up the stock-- because you didn't, I barely noticed Batman at first. You could have polished it by also slapping on a reddish Hue layer under a masked layer and lessened the opacity to you can be consistent with the colors.

Other critiques--
Entry 3, if you would have added 'sora-the-one'-ish vectors under those renders, it would have looked DAMN hot.

Entry 1, stock is so small, I barely noticed the FFv.XIII protagonist, typo should be taken out as well.

It is a really nice tag, the depth is very realistic and the lighing works well..not much to say other than that.

Second Vote: Third Entry
This is a nice tag, it is not the most artistic but it one of the most visually pleasing pieces.

Third Vote: Fourth Entry
Just another nice tag, black and white is working well, but i would have liked to see more depth

I like the lighting and blending with the stock image. Simply attractive.

Second Vote: Eleventh Entry
I like the text format and the texture blend in Aqua's hair, simple yet elegant.

Third Vote: Seventh Entry
Snake looks badass in that stock and the coloring behind him only emphasizes that. Good choice.

#1: 3
+ It's white. It's bright. It's lovely. I dunno, but the simple works wonder. Hell, I even wondered WHY (OH WHY!!) would PINK of all colors suits him best........
- Too bright, though. -shrugs- but it's still lovely.


#2: 5
+ Ooo~ Blood~ heh, forget that one, the red DOES contrast nicely with the b/w...
- Is it just me or the part in the upper center IS a bit...sharp...to eyes...

#3: 6
+ The texture usage's SO BRILLIANT that I almost didn't notice the difference between the clothes texture (stock texture, duh.) and the bg.
- ALMOST being the key word up there. Not to mention a bit unrealistic lighting...OH, I DON'T KNOW...what's with the blue-yellow mixed light?

I heart the smudging and effects.

Depth is good and stock is perfect for the style.

since when does that mean my entry doesn't get posted?
I've seen times when people like Sparkle Motion were banned, and they had their tags posted by somebody else, and it was allowed in the SotW.

What makes my case any different?

[gazer]

It was always a case of the person who makes the voting thread's discretion. If they want to, they can. If not, too bad.

9. Beautiful background. Not sure about the colors, but it works.
6. Don't like how murky it all looks, but it's still great.
7. What the mess is up with the size? Otherwise, ace.

[Kissui Tensai]

4. Beautiful smudging, speechless.
6. Lurk Moar, no srsli. In any event the balance is epic.
3. Flashy, effects haven, and a real eye catcher.

[Lycian Wolfe]

9: Beautiful background, and I'm fond of the font.
4: Amazing smudging. Enough said.
5: I'm not entirely sure what exactly I like about this one, but I really do. =/
Aside from that nameless reason, nice colors. Or there lack of for part of it.
