Cannon pictures - / Might want to add a shadow to the copper cannon like the other cannon is lit / Creative concept, but I wish the source picture was of higher quality. / Rainmaker and NewsMaster have covered this one. I am in total agreement with them.
Cannonball! pictures - Only my second. Any tips and tricks are appreciated. / Simple but effective. You should trime taking an opaque eraser to the larger splashes so the background will show slightly. / You could try lowering the opacity of the 'fountain' layers for a more transparent look to the water. / Not too sure what I'm supposed to be seeing here.. so a bit lost. Good try tho.
Union Cannon pictures - / Decent work but you may have overdone black shading just above the cannon. / Thanks, for the input, I got carried away in the dark room.
Marilyn Monroe Cannon pictures - / Now that's a rock hard arse. Cannon ball must either be stuck or hopefully bounced right off. / An interesting idea. Certainly an unexpected combination. Try to lessen the smoke effect around her dress and instead morph her dress into the smoke so that she looks attached to the cannon. Also, there should be enough ground cover in the original image to the upper right of the cannon so that you can clone this area and position it to the left of the cannon and around your model without creating a repeating pattern as exists now in your entry. If you find that you are having to clone too much of the original image in order to create a complete background for your finished work then try placing the cannon in a new background.
Old Cannon Train pictures - / GOOD IDEA...THE ANGLE OF THE CANNON IS KINDA OUT OF SKEW WITH THE TRAIN. / The concept deserves a merit. I would make this "out of bounds" entry with white background, not black.

Cannon Lincoln Assassination pictures - Maybe this is reality of Lincoln's assassination / Creative idea. Some filter work is needed to make the cannon look like drawing. / Nice Idea. Like it. Cannon needs a little work on mask. Specially at the wheels. I mean the white shadows. Also the smoke needs to be a little bit higher. Sure you know that smoke rise when he exit out of the cannon.
Baseball Cannon pictures - Watch out for his fastball. / Fair work, but I think the smoke looks somewhat unnatural.
Old Cannon Scotch pictures - / needs a little work on the bottle masking...bottom is a little wavy. No shadows. / I like this concept very much but you will need to make a few adjustments to make it photorealistic. The lighting on the top of the bottle will need to be shown along the leading edge of the gun carriage and the top of the wheel in the forefront. The liquid within the bottle will need to be shown in the neck of the bottle as it flows forward in the inclined position. Some masking debris, top-left on the rear wheel just needs removing and rebuild the top and bottom of the bottle container so that they are true ellipses. Add some shadowing underheath the elements to finish off your work. I think the liquid in the neck of the bottle will be the most difficult to pull-off but have a try and see how you do. / , i dont have so much time to do all this
